After Tuesday’s showing of a weak candidate (O’Donnell) and a stronger candidate (Angle), can we please pick someone other than Palin in 2012? It wasn’t their principles that lost - as pure conservatives won elsewhere (Toomey), but the candidates themselves who lost.

Palin had a list of 20 house members she was supporting who were running in districts that went for McCain but the Democrats won.

Of those 20, 18 won.

Sarah had also endorsed the following people who won as well:

1. Rubio - Florida Senator
2. Rand Paul - Kentucky Senator
3. Susanna Martinez - NM Governor

If you are going to base your argument on a set of facts, make sure you aren't cherry-picking your facts to support your conclusion.

Thanks for the post. In fact, yours proves my point - strong candidates won, weak candidates lost. Conservatism wasn't the be-all and end-all for a candidate.

I would have also lumped Rubio and Paul in with Toomey as being strong conservative candidates that won based on the combination of their principles and their candidacy itself.
