Sarah Palin endorsed a total of 43 candidates for the House of Representatives. Thirty of them won, with another nine still to be decided. In the Senate, Palin backed twelve candidates and seven won. The left like to falsely portray Palin as a quitter for resigning as Governor of Alaska. The long term benefits of this strategic move are now plain to everyone other than the most bigoted Palin hater. She has skewered Obama and his mainstream media cronies and suckholes at every turn.
My observation of Sarah Palin, says CBS News political analyst Nicolle Wallace, (yeah thats right- CBS news) is that she is one of the shrewdest political figures in our country at this moment. Shes also one of the most electric.

Sarah Palin fr our next president, what more can i say?
And folks....You have McCain to thank for Palin....and don't forget it!!!
The Cuda has lerned her lessons well.
Help those you can rely on to be there to help back when you need them.
There is very little to thank McCain for.
Sarah does not cast a shadow over anything!
Sarah Palin shines a light!!!!
Now Palin actually IS the One. The one Conservatives have been waiting for
I’m not giving MCain credit. Palin was already on the radar when she opposed Bush on the polar bear issue.
Sarah Palin endorsed a total of 43 candidates for the House of Representatives. Thirty of them won, with another nine still to be decided. In the Senate, Palin backed twelve candidates and seven won.I like Palin. I like her a lot.
But those numbers might not mean what we all want them to mean.
The big question is, of those 43 house races and 12 senate races, what would the result have been if she hadn't endorsed anyone, or hadn't been in the process at all?
Maybe all those candidates who won would have won anyway. Maybe even a couple more would have won without her endorsement.
I'm not saying that's the way it is, but without some kind of polling data, we're just wishful thinking here.
The raw numbers in and of themselves -- of who she endorsed and who won --mean absolutely nothing.
I will give McCain credit for losing the election. Even Sarah Palin couldn’t drag that much dead weight acrossed the finish line.
Many of us knew about Sarah before she was on McCain’s radar. I knew about her because of her support for domestic oil drilling and that is why I liked her. I didn’t need McCain.
Actually, you can thank Palin for saving face for probably the worse candidate the GOP has ever fielded for President, Juan McCain’t.
LOL! I love that cartoon!
Even a clock that doesn’t run is right twice a day:-)
Palin has surgically positioned herself to use the MSM rather than permit THEM to use her!!
Leaving office was a premiere strategic and supremely practical move on her part. She can pick and choose her battles, act independently, answer to whomever she chooses and only IF she chooses.
How better to get/keep national attention and public interest than to BE the news, completely at your OWN discretion AND on an almost wholesale and perpetual basis?
With the events of the next two years (the Nov. election, one more hurdle successfully negotiated) a blank slate and with an unpredictable and unstable domestic and global situation, Palin is in THE BEST possible position to cultivate a bond with American voters, seamlessly fuse her personal/professional image to whatever element will finally hold dominance in 2010 and to SELECTIVELY interact with events as they develop.
This is an opportunity unique to the information age! Palin is re-inventing Conservative politics and capitalizing on this opportunity right in front of our faces AND with the consummate skill, courage and enterprise of a practiced political expert!
Say what you want I think the Liberals attack Palin because she is in a position to DO this AND has the energy, skill, foresight, personal and professional courage to accept the challenges and risks associated with such an original approach!!!
The O victory created a personality/power vacuum in American politics and Palin wasted NO time stepping into that space. Palin has succeeded with American Conservatives in the way and to the extent that Madonna succeeds with young music fans. How can this be bad for American Conservatism?
Sarah show us the way!
McCain lost the election when he suspended his campaign to sit uselessly around a table and to spend billions of taxpayer dollars [TARP].
Even Sarah couldn’t change that debacle, tho I believe she helped make it closer than it might have been.
