"What horses does she have in the race?" That should tell you a lot. Her "horses" were defeated by other (conservative) candidates in the primaries.

Actually, your history is dead wrong.

Palin supported Mourdock over Lugar. Mourdock was the Conservative. Mourdock won.

Palin supported Deb Fischer in a multicandidate race in Nebraska. Fischer was both new and Conservative. She won her race.

Palin supported Jeff Flake in the AZ Senate Primary. He is Conservative. He won.

Palin supported Ted Cruz when your friends in the GOP were supporting David Dewhurst. Cruz won in a landslide.

Her only loss was Sarah Steelman, and Akin won that race in MO. And Akin may yet pull it out.

Unless, of course, you are talking about the Presidential primary, and trying to argue that Romney, whom Palin opposed in the early going, was actually the Conservative candidate. If you're making that argument, that wouldn't suprise me about you at all.

You may dislike Palin intensely, as I suspect you do, and while you have a right to your opinion, you don't have a right to your own facts.

Best,

Chris

I’m thinking primarily of Steelman. I think if it’s. Tea Party vs establishment, the Tea Party candidate wins most of the time without Palin. Cruz is the very big exception.
