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.
I don’t think Mitt or the Huckster are the answer either.
Why is there such a poverty of vision around here?
I think the GOP nominee will be someone rarely mentioned, if ever.
But when that person emerges, it will make perfect sense.
Someone of greater substance than style. Someone with heft and weight behind powerful, informed words. Someone who makes people sit up and listen, knowing they are hearing an adult say something important from a place of wisdom and experience, rather than empty platitudes designed for 20 second sound bites in a reality TV world.
