Palin is 0 for 5 so far in August

This is pretty funny; the spin the Hill puts on this is laughable; 0 for 5 but Palin had no major stake in any of them! :rofl:



Two Palin-backed candidates lose
By Shane D'Aprile - 08/18/10 08:00 AM ET


Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) is on a bit of a losing streak.

One of the candidates Palin backed in Tuesday's primaries lost big — Washington Senate candidate Clint Didier (R). Another — Wyoming gubernatorial hopeful Rita Meyer (R) — conceded defeat early Wednesday morning to rival Matthew Mead, who won by some 700 votes.

Given former Rep. Nathan Deal's defeat of Karen Handel in Georgia's Republican runoff for governor, Rep. Todd Tiahrt's loss in the GOP Senate primary in Kansas and Tennessee congressional candidate CeCe Heil's (R) loss, Palin is 0 for 5 so far in August.

It's a losing streak likely to be broken next week when Arizona holds its primary — Palin has endorsed her 2008 ticket-mate, Sen. John McCain (R), over former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R).

Still, it begs the question: If it's party cred or positioning for 2012 that Palin's seeking, how much does it matter when her endorsed candidates lose?

Of those five races that have already been decided this month, it's hard to argue that Palin had a major stake in any aside from Georgia. The former governor swooped into the state the day before the GOP runoff to headline a campaign event for Handel.

She's in fine form for this season's Iquitarod.

3. I really wonder what will happen when she realizes how ineffective

all her vitriol and fear-mongering were. Will she fade away? How can she resume a normal life after the joke she's made of her career, her family, her lack of political knowledge, her divisiveness during a time when people all over the world need to come together? There's something in her that's mean, and vindictive. It will be interesting to see where she finally ends up.

4. I agree

that there's something in her that's mean and vindictive. That's what made me dislike her so much. And she first showed that side of her during her scripted convention speech and then during the campaign trail with her hate speech. Her 15 minutes of fame should have been over a long time ago.
