Palin
0-for-5 in endorsements
Who's calling her a kingmaker now?
It hasn't been the greatest of
months for Sarah Palin when it comes to her political star power.
The two candidates Palin backed in Tuesday's primaries lost their bids,
making the swimsuit model 0-for-5 when it comes to endorsements this
month.
In Washington State, Palin backed Tea Party handjob Clint Didier over
Dino Rossi, the favorite of national Republicans.
In making her endorsement of Didier last May, Palin said the Tea Party
favorite had "inspired" her,
and hailed him as a "patriot running for U.S. Senate to serve his state
& our country for all the right reasons!"
Palin went on to record a robocall for Didier, telling voters that
"unlike establishment candidates who just
talk about lower taxes, Clint has signed a pledge to do so."
But Rossi easily beat Diddier in Tuesday's primary, besting the poor
bastard by more than 20 points.
Palin's candidate also lost out in the Wyoming gubernatorial primary on
Tuesday.
There, the publicity whore backed what she referred to as a "Mama
Grizzly," State Auditor Rita Meyer.
So, Sarah Palin and her Bag o'
Teabaggers are more a jinx than a help in tight races.
Maybe Sarah was smart to cash in
fast - before her uselessness was confirmed and verified.
