This “joke” did more than anyone to affect the outcome of the 2010 election. Without her support, Susana Martiez, Nikki Haley, Renee Ellmers and many other conservative Republicans never would have been nominated/elected.

She targeted 20 incumbent Democrats in congressional districts McCain/Palin carried in 2008. 18 of the 20 were defeated.

Yeah, but what about Angle in Nevada?? O’Donnel in Delaware? She can hurt in broader elections. Instead of Louden or Tarkanian, we got Dingy Harry for 6 more. And even though I could not stand Castle, right now I wish he was there instead of Coons.
And Obama had way more to do with the monumental GOP gains of November than Palin. Haley won the primary due to Palin. But in the general she won by only 4 points. In a huge GOP year. In a decidedly GOP state. To compare, Sanford won in 2006, a decidedly democratic year, by 10 points.
Lesson to take is she is good for red meat republican conservatives, yet independents just are not thrilled by her at all. Her endorsement hurt Haley in the general plain and simple.
