Baloney..... The Fox News Love Fest interview and campaign appearance was just before the republican primary with Hayworth. I guess you also missed the part where Sarah was calling John McCain a Tea party guy himself.

Second point.... During the summer JD was only behind Mccain 10 points in the poll, definitely within striking difference. Bottom line is S.P. prefered the RINO McCain over the true conservative Hayworth. Don't try to paint it any other way, or stay in denial.

I don't think the Palin endorsement of McCain was the reason for J.D.’s loss. I think J.D. lost it all by himself, including the fact that he didn't have the War Chest that McCain did.

If Sarah was a passionate supporting McCain as your post seems to imply, she would have been much more active in McCain's Campaign. As far as I could tell, she did the minimum without looking disloyal to the guy that brung her to the dance.

I'm not painting it one way or the other nor am I in denial.
As I stated before, J.D. lost it all by himself, period.
