She's endorsed too many idiots that didn't get elected.

50%, and many of the losers were pitted to win before she endorsed them,
Despite mixed record, Palin talks up her 2010 impact | The Upshot Yahoo! News
"While Palin officially endorsed 64 GOP candidates this cycle, she publicly campaigned with only 13 of them, according to a tally by The Hotline's Jeremy Jacobs. Of the candidates mentioned in the ad, Palin campaigned for four—including Haley, with whom she stumped during the primary, and Rubio, who left the rally early, before Alaska's controversial ex-governor appeared onstage.
And, contrary to what the ad suggests, Palin's record in 2010 is pretty mixed. Of the 64 candidates she endorsed nationally, about half have won. (In addition to the Alaska Senate race, several races featuring Palin-backed candidates are still undecided, including House contests in Virginia, New York and Washington as well as Minnesota's governor's race.)

In many of those contests, it's unclear what impact Palin's endorsement had. Her list of 2010 picks includes plenty of Republicans who were heavily favored to win in 2010, including Mary Fallin, who won Oklahoma's gubernatorial race, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry. In some cases, she endorsed candidates long after they were expected to win, such as John Boozman, who handily defeated Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln. He picked up Palin's support in mid-October.
In many House races, Palin gave nods to candidates who had already been recruited by the national GOP, including former MTV star Sean Duffy, who won Democrat Dave Obey's old seat in Wisconsin. It's worth noting that Palin did not actually campaign for Duffy (though he too appears in her SarahPAC video). That's probably because Palin would not have helped his race in what is generally considered a Democratic-leaning swing district."
