Oh come on. She bet on her four days before the election when then polls were already showing that O'Donnell had closed the gap and pulled even. By comparison, she had endorsed Ayotte weeks ago and damn near lost that one. Palin deserves no more credit for O'Donnell's win that DeMint does or Romney does. All of them jumped on the train long after it had left the station and gotten up to speed. All credit for O'Donnell's win go to O'Donnell herself and the Tea Party factions that have supported her all along with their time and their money.
It must be tough to keep trying to get people to deny real life.
I think Palin endorsed her earlier than that because I donated to her more than a week out and only after Palin announced the endorsement on Hannity.
Regardless, your point is valid, it was a very late endorsement and O’Donnell (with earlier TP supporters) deserves the vast majority of the credit.
Palin probably did have polls showing her closing on Castle, but the public polls showing a dead heat only came out a few days before the election, and after the endorsement. Even O’Donnell gives her credit. She raised money (like mine), and her robocall and radio spots probably did help.
While many might be hooting and hollering about how much DeMint or Palin impacted the outcome, I’ve not heard Palin or DeMint say any such thing. I have heard O’Donnell graciously thank them.
I think its called being a team.
And what does the next Senator from Delaware have to say on the subject?
