As hard as the media tries to bury Sarah Palin and the Tea Party both are alive and well:
Can anybody name one establishment Republican who can touch Sarah’s magnetism? I’m certain it has a lot to do with Sarah’s personal evaluation of the people she endorses before she gives them her stamp of approval. Give her someone she can work with in elections and her choices will beat the Democrat every time.
NOTE: The Democrats have Bill & Hillary Clinton. Their combined endorsement power among rank & file Dems is not in the same league as is Sarah’s among conservatives. Even Terry McCauliff’s victory in Blue State Virginia can hardly be credited to the Clinton endorsement.
Basically, conservatives ——AND INDEPENDENTS —— rely on Sarah’s judgement. Should she start endorsing Republicans willy-nilly just so one of Karl Rove’s Republicans can win an election she will lose a lot of trust among Tea Party voters.
Victory
Sarah is looking at an important personal victory in the midterms; i.e., the people she endorses in primaries go all the way. When that happens she will be awesome in 2016. So awesome that Karl Rove and the boys ignore her AND THE TEA PARTY at their own peril.
On the flip side, Sarah does not have to attack Hillary Clinton, or Elizabeth “Cherokee” Warren personally the way the Left attacks her; nevertheless, Sarah’s endorsement magnetism has to be denigrated more than she was when she ran for vice president. Happily, all of those ongoing personal attacks are biting liberals on the ass. They did not create the Tea Party joke they hoped for; they created their worst nightmare.
Finally, It must be a bitch trying to beat someone who is not running for office. I can think of no other person who was feared by a major political party simply because of their endorsement clout.
