Pssst! Just remember. The TEA Party is dead. Just let them keep thinking that. ssssshhhhhhhhhhh. Keep it under your hat.
Palin needs to get down to Texas and campaign for Cruz - NOW.
The important P word isn’t Palin, it’s Principal.
To give Sarah Palin the credit is an attempt to take it away from Deb Fischer. I high profile person can get you attention but once you get the attention you must have something to say.
I can hardly call getting a plurality of 41% "stunning." In other states that would put her into a runoff election for the nomination. This is exactly how Sharon Angle got the Republican nomination in NV in 2010. I think it's idiotic to win a primary nomination with anything less than 50% + 1 vote.
Sarah Palin’s endorsement brings cameras and free press to the candidates she endorses, as well as instant credibility with the conservative grass roots. While Palin isn’t solely responsible for Fischer’s victory, it was the spark that started the engine.
Yep.
Palin endorsed 33 winners of 64 overall? Well, that tells me two things:
1. Yes, Palin still has the magic. As in 2010, the beneficiaries of her endorsements rocketed up from nowhere in the polls after getting the nod from her.
2. Palin could`ve taken the safe and easy road, and endorsed GOP-e candidates who already had the inside track. But, true to her word .. she is on a mission to shake the government to the core, and — with a talent for political timing few possess — acted on that intent with endorsements at critical moments (ask SC Gov. Nikki Haley how valuable Sarah was to her campaign).
Some scoff at Sarah`s success record at little more than 50%. They ignore the fact that many of those endorsements went to erstwhile no-names with limited notoriety, campaign experience and resources, but who possess the strong conservative credentials she`s looking for. With those risks come the share of downers, but the wins are that much sweeter.
I`d bet Dick Morris would gladly take a 33-31 record.
There is a lot Freepers who feel betrayed that she didn’t run. Considering the campaign Romeny put on, I really think she would have been the nominee.
She endorsed 33 winners and 31 losers in 2010
Thats the wrong way to calculate it
its 33 general win + 33 primary win vs 20 general losses + 10 primary losses
66 total wins vs 30 losses
The article left out the 33 primary win yet included the 10 primary losses
looks like we have to borrow from chuck dickens on this one...
‘SARAH .... signed it: and SARAH’s name was good upon ‘Change, for anything she chose to put her hand to.’
