Palin gave us Ted Cruz and Deb Fischer this cycle.
Palin’s candidate (Sarah Steelman, I wonder how different 2012 would have been with her?) lost to Ted Akins in the Missouri primary though, Palin had about 14 campaigns she endorsed and at least 8 victories.

Steelman lost, at least in part, because she had sold her soul to the trial layers.
It’s too bad the tea party candidate lost, Akin didn’t work out so well.
