Those gains were mostly due to the TeaParty, not Palin.
She isn't leading anyone in 2014, she had a chance to lead in 2012 but refused to get into the fray.
Do you realize that Palin is not influencing anything, and her followers are delusional?
She is never going to enter the primaries, she wants to be drafted.
In 2010, Palin was the single most important person of either party in shaping the election, and she had great success in the 64 races she lent her influence to and in helping to move the party right with winners like Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, Nikki Haley, and many other more other conservative candidates and congress people.
In 2012, a repeat of the same as the “Kingmaker” continued her reshaping of the GOP in her image with 14 endorsements and victories like Ted Cruz over Dewhurst in Texas, and the incredible victory of Fischer over Bob Kerry for the open seat in Nebraska and of course, others, and house victories.
In 2014, as the leader of the conservative wing of the GOP and the nation, Palin will be in the thick of things again.
The most influential endorsement in America, and in history.
Righteousness exalteth a nation:but sin is a reproach to any people
