MSM wants to deflect the fact that wherever Obama goes in support of his candidates they generally lose.
The MSM is scared to death of her...their boy Obama is screwing up big time. Soon they will be promoting Hillary as the ‘12 nominee...
...Palin v Hillary...folks gonna take Sarah everytime.
Nonsense PING!
Lets hope this “losing streak” continues with the liberal John McCain losing on Tuesday
When Sarah gave here support to John McCain she damaged her creds with a lot of conservatives. Her claim that McCain is a real conservative and wants the same things she does for our country exposed her for the populist she realy is. Not much different that Huckebee or Myth Rommney.
Please, MSM.... Handel lost by less than 1% of the vote and she never really did effective campaigning after she took the lead in the general primary elections which she did take thanks to Palin support.....also Palin does choose long shots like Brian Murphy in Maryland and Didier (tea party favorite) was a long shot once Rossi came into the picture in Washington State......if Rand Paul, Carly Fiorna, Nikki Haley and Susan Martinez wins then that will be effective
BTW....No average conservatives likes Lisa Murkoski....anyone would chose Joe Miller over her regardless whether he wins or lose.
It’s been said many time before, but it’s true: She lives rent-free in their heads!
Isn’t she something like 56% in endorsement anyway?
She is 3 and 5 in the past two weeks. The MSM only focuses on the losses. Tom Emmer(MN), Cathy McMorris-Rodgers(WA) and John Koster(WA) all won their primaries. Moreover, why don’t they mention the other endorsers in these races? Romney, Brewer, Price and others also endorsed Handel. Palin can help draw attention to a candidate, but it’s up to them to run an effective campaign.
Ok... a few of Gov. Palin's candidates have lost... but is there a list of those who have won? I doubt that anyone expected her endorsement to be some sort of Midas touch - a few losses are to be expected.
She did wonders for Nikki Haley.
She did, and many others as well. She bascially handed Tom Emmer the GOP endorsement in MN on the eve of the convention. He was considered the underdog going in—facing the MN House Minority Leader. Sarah’s endorsement enabled Emmer to win the on the second ballot.
Is there any doubt why only 25% of Americans have any confidence in newspapers.
“Please, MSM.... Handel lost by less than 1% of the vote and she never really did effective campaigning after she took the lead in the general primary elections which she did take thanks to Palin support”
You only have a small part of the story.
Handel refused to debate with the rest of the GOP primary hopefuls. That made her look weak and like she thought she was entitled to the nomination.
People saw Handel’s ad boasting about how she worked as an assistant for a Senator in D.C. starting at an young age and that didn’t play well in Georgia.
Then they brought up stories from her past where she had voted to give funding to gay rights groups and that she was in favor of same-sex marriage. Deal capitalized on that on the heels of Prop 8 being overturned in California and it just reinforced the opinion she was just another RINO.
All in all, Handel was not just a lousy campaigner, she was a lousy RINO candidate. She didn’t connect with people at all, she just seemed to think that this was the Year of the Woman and with Palin’s endorsement she couldn’t lose. And her previous support for gay rights sent people over the edge to vote for Deal.
They’re trying to write Sarah’s political obituary NOT realizing she arise like a Phoenix.
All my conservative friends are voting Miller. I've already sent in my kids absentee ballots and my wife & I will vote on Tuesday. I even got a couple of the local Indians who are registered dems to change to repub so I could witness their absentee ballots. Me can't imagine how anybody could vote for that RINO Lisa and think Miller is a shoe in.
Still I know Lisa has the advantage in money & polls. Also that I saw Palin beat Lisa's dad 59% to 19% in Gov Primary race when all the polls said old man Murkowski had it in the bag.
If Lisa wins, I'll have a blast telling anybody who voted for her how stupid they were when she crawls back up Obama's behind nx week. I'm getting some serious mileage on the local dems about how ignorant they were to believe all that Obama promises crap. Heck even my 18 year old son knew all Obama would do is raise taxes & ruin the country.
Not all repubs have it figured out yet, some are slower than others.
Thanks. Nobody is perfect, and even Sarah can occasionally be mistaken in an endorsement of a relatively unknown candidate. So, better that Deal won that one.
As for the McCain endorsement, that certainly doesn’t make any of us conservatives happy. But she really had to do it. She owed McCain. But it’s very noticeable that she gave him a weekend and has stayed away from him ever since.
No conservative is going to vote for McCain anyway, not if they have been paying any attention at all.
