Most people forget about Chambliss' landslide victory over Martin. That was actually both 0bama and Palin's first test after the 2008 election. 0bama left Martin 25 fully staffed campaign offices, bused in thousands of volunteers, 0bama recorded robocalls and radio ads on Martin's behalf. Palin headlined 4 rallies the day before the election, and Chambliss won by 14 or 15 points.
ReplyDeleteAlthough some of Palin's endorsed candidates have lost, her average is well ahead of 0bama who hasn't backed a winner yet.
I think we will see the "Power of Palin"
ReplyDeletein the fall elections! When she was the only
one who had the guts to stand up for what was
right and the media got it all wrong, there was
some skepticism. NOW, we have others standing
up, many who are endorsed by Palin, and a
new movement is growing. The old guard of the
GOP must be scared out of their minds.
