Perhaps people are looking at all of the Palinesque candidates she backed who lost statewide races in battleground states?
The defeat of all of the prominent Tea Party candidates in swing states should have served as a wakeup call. I am a very firm supporter of the Tea Parties and the Tea Party candidates, but at some point you have to have a sober analysis of the facts. Palin will do no better than Sharron Angle or Ken Buck, and these are two states we must win.
FYI...
Palin did NOT endorse in the NV primary. Remember, her dad campaigned for Danny Tarkanian. She endorsed Angle, but late, and after she had won the nomination. Ditto for O’Donnell, I believe.
I cannot recall whether she endorsed in the CO Senate primary or not. I’m sure someone will chime in with the answer.
Two thirds of the candidates she endorsed won their races. I believe CBS, of all outlets, reported that. That is an amazing percentage.
In any event, Palin’s biggest hurdle is going to be this:

She would be (if she runs) the ONLY candidate with the stones to start rounding up some of the banksters on Wall Street, et al....and TOSS THEIR ASSES IN JAIL. Which is exactly where they belong, btw (some of them). Does anyone expect Mitt to do that? They’re his buddies! Huck and the rest will also be accepting their contributions, granting favors in return. Palin won’t get one thin dime in contributions from the crony capitalist bunch. It’s not lost on me that no one, other than Bernie Madoff, has gone to federal prison over these financial shenanigans.
I doubt it’s lost on Palin.
You mean those battleground states such as FL, PA, OH, SC, IA, and NH?
