Sarah was not much of a factor. She helped bring in some conservatives who might have been tempted to sit out. But she also turned off a lot of people. I suspect she was a push at best. They lost because of the top of the ticket. He was horrible. Suspending his campaign was the death blow. He totally mishandled the situation. Sarah rallying the faithful was helpful, but not decisive.

McNut was elitist holding back Sarah and the populists masquerading as conservatives.
