Check out Politico‘s top story this morning, “Sarah Palin: Senate kingmaker.” From David Catanese’s article:
“Riding a four-endorsement winning streak in Republican Senate primaries this year, the former Alaska governor swept into a blueberry patch outside Kansas City this weekend looking to apply her Midas touch to the latest fortunate recipient. This time it’s Sarah Steelman, a former state treasurer running in a fractured Missouri Tuesday primary to decide who gets to take on vulnerable Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in November.
“At least that was the case before Palin’s arrival and the ensuing glut of media exposure for Steelman.
“A win would only enhance Palin’s reputation as the most powerful down-ballot force in Republican politics.
“’She’s a rock star right now in Republican Senate primaries. She’s hit a pretty strong streak,‘ said Scott Bensing, a former executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. ‘She gives the impression that she has deeply held beliefs she’s willing to take on water for and doesn’t really care what her critics think. She comes off resolute and principled.’
“Palin’s victory roster this cycle includes Indiana’s Richard Mourdock, Nebraska’s Deb Fischer, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch and Texas’ Ted Cruz, who shattered expectations Tuesday with a 14-point win in a runoff against Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
“No other conservative icon or entity matches her record.” Emphasis added.
Sarah Palin, bringing the craziest of the crazies to our Senate, earning IOU’s for herself to be collected, oh, I don’t know, maybe in 2016 0r 2020. Thanks a lot, John McCain, you foolish old goat.
Embattled Farmers 
McCain’s legacy as war hero has totally evaporated and the stained image of Palin resides in the vessel of his once honored military service to America. Such a shame.
Definitely. She is what he’ll be remembered for.
