And she supported Lugar against the TeaParty candidate.
So, all in all, she is about a wash in picking candidates.
Post your sources claiming her overall endorsements were a "wash".
She didn't "pick" candidates, she endorsed them and has had a very good record.

Of the 27 candidates Palin endorsed in 2009 and 2010, 22 of them earned victories
You keep lying, Palin didn’t merely help, Cruz credits her with his victory.
You keep going back to McCain as you continue your war against the conservative wing of the GOP and Palin.
Palin did not create McCain, and the 2008 presidential candidate was not going to lose his 25 year Senate seat in the 2010 election.
Old post, but true.
If the vice presidential candidate for John McCain and the the biggest GOP superstar since Reagan had not supported McCain for reelection for his Senate seat, then it would have meant the destruction of her image, and of the GOP image and it would have been the non stop political story of 2009 and 2010, the division between the ticket of the previous year would have made the Republicans appear broken and shattered and would even have led to a widespread reevaluation of the importance of a Democrat victory in 2008, because it would make the GOP ticket look like it had been a sham, it would have damaged and have prevented this incredible change in public opinion towards the entire republican brand that Palin has helped reshape during the last 17 months.
Palin would have looked cheap and shallow to the general public for turning on the man that 59,000,000 of them voted for, she would easily be painted as a radical and unstable person and a bitter, small timer to the general public.
There is a lot more going on with the national image of the republican/conservative movement here than what we McCain haters see in the Arizona Senate race, the general public does not share all of our perceptions and in depth view of the race between McCain and Hayworth. They would see the Presidential and the vice Presidential candidates of the Republican party at each others throats, clearly signaling that Obama and the Democrats represented stability and calm.
Palin’s image would have never survived, and the entire national, conservative movement would be weaker in reality and in the public’s eye.
