At least this "man's man" isn't in denial like Dave Weigel over at the Washington Post. Of course Andy thinks it'll be the GOP's downfall that Governor Palin is their favorite, but I think a lot of pols and jourbalists are re-thinking that idea after last night. What say you?

Sarah Palin... our king-maker. God Bless you Sarah!

[Retired Greyhound]

I love Sarah, but I reject the notion of a King Maker.

Especially in light of some of her questionable endorsements.

So goes South Carolina, so goes the Republican nomination. Between this and Iowa, Sarah is setting herself up quite nicely for the 2012 primaries.

What ever anyone on anyside of the opinion of Palin.. Palin seem to be a natural master of flanking tactics, Guerrilla/irregular politics...

[RichInOC]

I like it when Andrew’s in pain.

Pissy little bitch acknowledges defeat, with something less than grace.

Chucky Todd on PMSNBC says Romney deserves credit over Sarah for Nicky in Carolina. Says Romney endorsed her before it was cool. Then he went on to say he does not buy this Palin is so great thing, says they wont want anything to do with her after Nov.

Yes I know Chuck is a turd!!!

Well, these MSM types would have to set their ‘intellectual dishonesty’ aside in order to come to a conclusion involving Gov. Palin and any causal relationship to the outcome of these races. Since they are incapable of intellectual honesty, they will never arrive at such a conclusion.

The McQueeg endorsement was done out of loyalty. Read her book for more details.

The Fiorina endorsement, was done in order to have a chance at actually unseating Boxer. Chuck DeVore, arguably the more conservative candidate, would not have won the election head to head against Boxer. Fiorina has national stage name recognition, as does Boxer. Fiorina, whether we like it or not, came up through the business world and has run businesses. This imparts critical skills. We need more business people in Congress as opposed to career politicians. The fewer lawyers the better.

I find these lesser of two evils scenarios distasteful myself, but we have to nominate and elect people who can actually win against the incumbent opposition. No candidate is perfect, nobody is perfect, politics is a complex game of compromise. Our challenge is to field the best overall candidate who can actually win the election.

The Tea Party movement is not going to find it can simply anoint a candidate and then relax through the election cycle. Its still going to take work and funds to get these candidates elected. If we stay home because the winners of these races aren't perfect measured against our paradigm of perfection, we WILL cause no change in the election outcomes and the opposition will prevail, this means an extension of the current pattern into the future indefinitely. I for one will not sit idly by and allow that to happen.

The only thing required for Evil to flourish is for good men and women to do nothing.

It’s yet something else she’s just been incredibly effective at. Lots of GOP presidential aspirants have said the 2010 elections are critical and they will work to get conservatives and Republicans elected. Palin’s no different—except she’s 10x better at it than anyone else.

[unseen1]

And that makes sense as long as you ignore every single thing she has ever done in her life and career. this line says it all. you have to suspend belief and facts to not see that Palin is running for POTUS in 2012. the only people still bitterly clinging to that idea is Mittbuttboys and GOP establishment types. the MSM is playing that narrative for all it worth because they want people not to send her money, give her time and effort by making people think she will not run.

[Force of Truth]

I hope Palin runs. She’ll kick ass in my state SC. Go Nikki Haley!!
