Victory for Tea Partiers and the Republicans. However, if only three more ladies had won last night, it would have been just simply perfect. But, that might have made the Republicans too cocky. So... all in all an excellent outcome. Now, it's totally apparent to the whole wide world that Palin has clout and that her clout can clobber the Democats like nobody else has ever done before. Did anybody see poor Anderson Cooper on CNN? Did you like his "I am fainting, quick get me a lemony tea bag to suck on" look last night. It was fun to watch lefties looking like ghosts and I thought Halloween was over a couple of days ago.
Most of the candidates Sarah Palin endorsed chalked up victories Tuesday. And that scorecard leaves pundits wondering whether she'll now train her sights directly on the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.
As CBS News Correspondent Jeff Glor reports, .the former GOP vice presidential nominee backed 43 candidates for the House. Thirty of them won, with races involving nine others still undecided.
Her record in Senate races was closer: She endorsed 12 candidates. Seven won.
Though it's been 15 months since Palin stepped down as Alaska governor, she was very much in this election, stumping for candidates across the country, skewering President Obama at every turn.
"My observation of Sarah Palin," says CBS News political analyst Nicolle Wallace, "is that she is one of the shrewdest political figures in our country at this moment. She's also one of the most electric." ...........

It is also why all the demotwats and lame brain media are starting their attack again. It must be really frustrating to be perpetually cowed by a woman.
