Palin's hot streak goes cold
Politico ^ | 8/11/10 | Andy Barr

Posted on 08/11/2010 1:09:39 PM PDT by pissant

For a time, it seemed that Sarah Palin was on a hot streak.

Her Republican primary endorsements were generally winners as she racked up favors, praise and credit for the results in across the country.

There's still no doubt that a Palin endorsement raises a candidate's profile, significantly. But now, after a string of defeats for Palin endorsees, the question has to be asked: Was Palin’s brand really so strong that she was swinging primaries in her favor?

“I have said pretty consistently that these endorsements are fairly meaningless,” said Republican strategist John Feehery. “They were meaningless when Palin was on a hot streak, and they are meaningless when she is on her losing streak.”

I hope her endorsement of Clint Didier isn't the kiss of death.

Pissant, you remind me of a third grade boy. LOL! When an 8 year old likes a girl, he punches her in the arm and runs away.

Your constant posting of negative articles of Sarah Palin is the same thing.

I think you have it bad for her.

I have no idea why you devote this much time to Palin. Her endorsements have massively raised the profile and polling numbers throughout this primary season. She is extremely influential in helping bring this party back to its core values. If you feel others are a better candidate for 2012, fine. Ignoring Palin’s positive influence on conservatism is silly.

Ah Politico spewing their lefty talking points again. How many of their writers were on the “Journolist”? I forgot.

Yes, pissant is a bad boy, but this is a special story straight from POLITICO which, as we all know, is a hot bed of cell members in the Journ0list Communist underground ~

Once they came out in the open with their conniving, and scheming, and organizing around a "partyline" we really have no more interest in what they are saying.

We know why they are saying it, and we know what they are. Their opinions cannot command respect.

“I have said pretty consistently that these endorsements are fairly meaningless,” said Republican strategist John Feehery.

Handel almost took it from Deal, she would not have
been even close without Palin’s endorsement.

Palin/Bachmann 2012

This is true of all endorsements. I wouldn't vote for a candidate just because Sarah endorsed him/her, although I might take a look at someone I didn't know if she endorsed him/her, just to see where they stood. But my decisions are going to be made on my opinion of the candidates, not on who endorses whom. Sarah's endorsement did not sink Karen Handel, and Huckabee's endorsement didn't win it for Deal. In that case, Deal turned out to be the more conservative candidate, and that (barely) won it for him.

Substitute Bachmann for Palin, then we can talk.

Ah Politico spewing their lefty talking points again.

This IS the Talking Point of the Day. The same EXACT spin was just spun on the ABC Radio top-of-the-hour news.

JournOlist appears to be alive and well, wherever it's hiding at the moment.

Pissant, you're too smart to fall for this lefty propaganda.
