It was a great day yesterday. Here in blue State Wisconsin we literally ran the table. Knocked out Feingold. Won the State legislature. Won the Governor. Knocked out two dem congressional seats.
All done with solid Tea Party endorsed conservatives. All great candidates. No RINO’s anywhere to be found.
Interestingly enough we were able to do all this without having Sarah Palin visit and help select our candidates and blessing them with her magic wand.

A very interesting observation, with an unmistakably negative overtone for Sarah’s political fortunes-to-be.
Now to be sure, when it comes to her most highly publicized endorsements, Sarah hit a home run with Nikki Haley in SC. But some of her high profile endorsements bombed out big time — as with Christine O. in DE, with Sharron A. in NV, with Tom T. in CO, and probably with Joe M. in AK.
So at least in some states, it seems that Sarah’s blessing was worth approximately the same as the endorsement of Virginia’s Congressman Periello (sp?)by the TØTUS, which is to say the effects at best were “dubious.”
Bottom Line:
I gotta wonder what this string of strike-outs portends for Sarah’s 2012 prospects. Maybe the impact will be neutral for her, maybe it will be bad. But in any case, it’s very hard to see how she’s been helped by the outcomes of these races.
