Yeah, she’s so irrelevant now they’ve stopped writing about her.
They were both long shots. She had the guts to back them. She didn’t wait until she was sure they would win like RINOs do.
Just to show how wrong this guy is I will write her in in the next election
This was an endorsement based on principle. He was a long shot and everyone knew it. It says nothing about her “clout.”
I like Palin and think she makes a good legislator/leader but if she remains a TV personality and doesn’t run for office I see her political power diminishing.
Ping.
Oh, the establishment think they knocked her out. This was reported by one of those.
They can dream on. People would support her nationally. They are trying to write her legacy. If they would spent that much effort, in stopping democrats. Go, Palin!
She helped 4 get so elected with diminished clout? Not bad.
How many candidates that Obama endorses this fall will win in November?
“Only four of the 15 congressional candidates endorsed by Palin nationwide this year have won their primaries....”
That is what happens when you have the guts that Sarah Palin has to pick the underdogs and stand behind the underdogs who stand for America and against the GOP Establishment.
This only proves that Sarah Palin is strong and the GOPe is weak.
It didn't help when Sarah's father-in-law came out in support of the third candidate.
WOW that darn Sarah she must be SO irrelevant that the SUCKRamento Bee has to write an article about her..I’m surprised they don’t follow her around to see how many times she urinates during the day
To say she endorsed 15 and 4 won is factual. It’s not disputable. The point is well made - she was a lot more effective in endorsements in 2010 than now. And it makes sense. Back in 2010, many of her supporters stayed true to her because they were absolutely convinced she was going to make that serious POTUS run in 2012. When she bailed on that in October of 2011, a chunk of those who were looking to her to right the ship of the nation started looking elsewhere. A percentage of them in 2012 essentially stopped taking her POTUS aspirations - which she herself stoked - seriously. By 2014, and after signing to do not only another television show on some cable channel, but also starting her own subscription based network, more of those who pinned their hopes to her in a political sense were getting the idea she has no serious designs to run for office again. Her name as a candidate hasn’t been on a ballot since she was elected governor (as 2008 VP she wasn’t the ballot name, McLame was). So she herself has not run for any office for 8 years. Her rash of endorsements in this 2014 cycle seemed to coincide with the beginning of her new series (is it even still on the air?).
It’s become clear Sarah Palin is more interested in being a celebrity than an office holder.
Not such a bad a result. In many states Sullivan and Miller would be now campaigning for a runoff vote. And I think Miller has lost some appeal after he lost to Murkowski when she was a write-in candidate.

I would say Alaska went 0 for 2.
“John Feehery, a Republican political consultant and former aide to GOP leadership in the House of Representatives. “
Yeah, the consultant class is doing wonders for the GOP while they line their own pockets.
History waits for nobody, and gives no second chances. Palin could have turned this nation around, she could have ran for the highest office and atleast attempted to return this nation to what it once was. She could have been greater than Reagan or Thatcher. Instead she resigned from her governorship (why? A disastrous political move), backed out of what was obviously a Presidential run (taking forever to do it, thus weakening other conservatives in the race), and decided to become a pundit and TV personality (the lowest form of life on earth).
Now instead of leading the free world and trying to save western Christian civilization she is a recurrent joke for liberals. She was offered the reigns of history and she walked away, I challenge anyone else here to name a bigger waste of potential in modern American politics.
This from the Sacremento Bee a bastion of conservative thought. LMAO!
