My, how you liberals weep and tear at your hair over this conservative giant.

She was right in both of those endorsements.

And it is interesting that you go back to the great election cycle of 2010.

American Achiever of 2014: Sarah Palin

“”It would be the height of churlishness for even the most inveterate leftist to deny the import of someone who made Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” list, and then the Smithsonian Institution’s “100 Most Significant Americans Of All Time” list. Both affirmations were earned by former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

To then accept Governor Palin as “American Achiever of the Year 2014” would be for most, if not all on the left (and to be fair, many in the GOP) no doubt a bridge too far. However, such partisanship should not stand in the way of a general acknowledgement of what was a remarkable year for Palin.

Palin achieved what such luminaries as President Obama did not: a place in the Smithsonian’s prestigious “Most Significant” list. After being written off by many in the media, and especially the left, as “irrelevant” and predicted by MSNBC’s Krystal Ball as “not going to have an effect on the [2014] midterms,” Palin’s record of success of her endorsed candidates was nothing short of phenomenal.

Governor Palin endorsed 22 candidates for various offices during the midterm finals, including senators, governors, lieutenant governors, congressmen, and attorneys general. Of those so endorsed, an incredible 20 were elected – contrasted with, for example, Hillary Clinton’s record of 8 wins out 24 endorsed candidates.

Beyond the success of her endorsed candidates lies a much deeper reason for Palin being seen as “Achiever of the Year”: those Palin endorsed in their respective primaries who then went on to win the general election battles. As in the past with, among others, senators Ted Cruz, Kelly Ayotte, and Deb Fischer, and Governor Nikki Haley, who owe their elections in their primary campaigns to Palin’s endorsement at a critical juncture, so too could new senators Ben Sasse and Joni Ernst, and new Alaska governor Bill Walker (and, remarkably, his Democrat lieutenant governor Byron Mallott) be considered to owe all or a substantial part of their nominations to Palin’s endorsement.””

She's too stupid to be a conservative. Reagan at least did his homework to understand conservative principles and their application, which she has refused to do. As a result, from what I see she has weakened the conservative cause.

She was right in both of those endorsements.

Fiorina over De Vore? Really? Then YOU are the liberal here.

As to your "source" it only includes 2014, an election in which she factored not at all. A blind man could have done as well. In 2010, also a banner year for Republicans when they had more to gain and when she was more of a factor, she went 33/53. That's no home run. You'll note, that she endorsed more candidates in 2010 because her endorsement was more valued back then. It turned out to be a double edged sword because she is so blasted vacuous when she speaks: offering little more than platitudes, which is apparently enough for you. When I look at her administrative record, I don't see a conservative.
