Is Sarah Palin the GOP’s New Political King (and Queen) Maker?
The original Mama Grizzly is proving that her endorsement carries huge clout among some conservative voters
PETER KRAMER/NBCIt’s not often you see political ads for a candidate featuring the picture of another politician, but that’s precisely what’s been helping one Texas candidate gain traction. And the politician whose face graces his online ads – Sarah Palin – is being given credit for every inch his campaign advances. Palin may not be running for elective office this year, but others are turning to her in hopes that the uber-conservatives who love her will love them, too.The ‘mavericky’ former Governor of Alaska has always been a Tea Party favorite, but no one could have predicted how powerful her endorsements would be just four short years after her debut on the national stage. Texas State Senate candidate Ted Cruz was trailing his opponent by 12 points until he got Palin’s blessing. Then donations started flooding into his campaign. Palin has also given her official stamp of maverick-ness to Richard Mourdock, a contender for Richard Lugar’s U.S. Senate seat in Indiana, as well as Deb Fischer, an underdog in Nebraska’s GOP senate primary. Both won their respective primary races after Palin agreed to work on their behalf.Coincidence? Not likely.Palin beamed with pride on her Facebook page about those outcomes. “As recently as a week ago, Deb Fischer was dismissed by the establishment. Why? Because she is not part of the good old boys’ permanent political class. The message from the people of Nebraska is simple and powerful: America is looking for real change in Washington, and common sense conservatives like Deb Fischer represent that change,” Palin wrote.So is Sarah Barracuda the new political king (and queen) maker? From where I’m sitting, Sarah is looking better and better every day. She’s been true to her anti-establishment roots through thick and thin, and seems to be choosing candidates that fit that same bill. If Palin plays her cards right, her political clout could make her a major player at the Republican National Convention. And with every win, her endorsements mean that much more, possibly setting up a scenario for a 2016 presidential run.Diana Prichard is a red-leaning freelance writer living and working a blue state.

VIDEO:Texas TV Interviews Cruz Who Brilliantly Defends Palin Support & Asks For 5 Debates
Posted by M. JOSEPH SHEPPARD'S "A POINT OF VIEW" on May 30, 2012
Here is a major report from Texas station CBSDFW which covers last nights race between Ted Cruz and David Dewhurst in the Texas GOP primary for senator.
Frankly, Cruz comes across as dynamic and ready to do debate battle. He defends the support of Palin as an outside of Texas individual in the correct way: “I am appreciative of support from conservatives everywhere”.
Dewhurst is laughable when he accuses Cruz of having Washington insider support and the backing of big business-especially as he, Dewhurst, has put in $20 million from his reported $200 million personal fortune.

VIDEO: Heck Freezes Over – MSNBC/Politico Credit “Significant” Palin With Cruz’s Remarkable Result In Texas
Posted by M. JOSEPH SHEPPARD'S "A POINT OF VIEW" on May 30, 2012
finally MSNBC/Politico agree that Palin is a major force and can influence races whilst listing the recent races she has, undoubtedly influenced.
“Palin is a significant player” and now, suddenly she is not “irrelevant”.

Excerpt from transcript:
Sarah Palin is no Donald Trump!
Politico’s John Harris compares Sarah Palin’s goals to those of Donald Trump and discusses the 2008 vice presidential candidate’s influence on key 2012 Senate races, her success after her VP run and her long term goals to be a serious player in the Republican Party..
>>> event and ted cruz was able to force a runoff. says her endorsement gave a huge boost to the campaign. i’m joined by john harris .
>> good morning.
>> this is the latest in a string of successful endorsements by sarah palin . she gave a nod and backed indiana state treasurer richard mourdock . is the power of palin alive and well ?
>> you know, she is clearly on a hot streak. one question we always have with endorsements is to what extent is the endorser making a bet of who wins and to what extent it is driving the behavior of voters. it does seem clear that at least some voters do look to sarah palin . she gives sort of a good house keeping seal of approval.
>> they love it. i mean, by all rights she should have faded into the background. her performance is basically viewed as a cautionary tale. how has she done it?
>> well, coming off 2008 she built herself into a national and international brand that was controversial but certainly among conservative voters. it is clear that she is viewed favorably. it surprised some of us in the media in that sarah palin has not been as high profile for the past year since she made it clear that she wasn’t going to seek the republican nomination which she has been able to demonstrate in the work deciding where to put the chips and risk her own credibility. she demonstrated that without the publicity without the spot lights she can be a player.

Fashionista Taylor Marsh Goes Full Palin Derangement Syndrome (Again)
Posted by M. JOSEPH SHEPPARD'S "A POINT OF VIEW" on May 30, 2012
Perhaps it is the jealous woman syndrome rather than full-blown PDS that Taylor Marsh exhibits. I am trying to fathom why a seemingly intelligent person would write this:
Considering women are nowhere on the radar for camp Mitt, except for his stunning wife Ann Romney who can actually communicate with voters, my advice to the Romney team to pick Liz Cheney as his veep couldn’t be more jarring. It’s obvious Republicans haven’t gotten over Palin’s disastrous vice presidential candidacy, so a woman on the ticket seems less likely than ever.”
Marsh has written post after post denigrating Palin, but it is one thing to find supposed fault with Palin’s policies, and another to go along with the myth that Palin’s VP campaign was “disastrous.” Either Marsh is ignorant of the facts, too lazy to check them, or deliberately ignoring them to perpetuate a myth for no clear reasons except PDS that I can see. BTW her suggestion that Liz Cheney should be Romney’s VP is not a typo-she actually said it.
For the record, and for the umpteenth time, here is the exit poll analysis after the 2008 election. It clearly shows that Palin was a plus for the poor McCain campaign. That, allied with the opinion polls that showed that subsequent to Palin’s nomination, the McCain team actually surpassed Obama and who knows what the result might have been if the financial crisis had not taken place? Certainly, the result would have been much closer, if not a win for McCain/Palin.
How Marsh can justify her comment is beyond my ken but there is no logic to the writings of the Palin haters.
The left continues with their big lie that Palin cost McCain the 2008 election. This is often seen in comments from so called “Republicans” along the lines of “I was going to vote for McCain, but when he chose Palin I switched to Obama” and similar such nonsense.
Here are are the unbiased, unvarnished facts (with links to the full reports in red) from respected professional polling firms.The major issue was the economy, the Lehman brother’s collapse, and McCain “suspending” his campaign.
Palin’s addition to the ticket was a significant plus factor which kept McCain as close as he did until nothing could save him as the economy tanked and the bail-out inflamed passions.
It has been a disgusting spectacle watching the Schmidt and Wallace of the McCain team, through the mechanism of the Hollywood left’s hatchet job “Game Change’, put the blame for their incompetence on Palin. The facts prove otherwise.
****************************************************************************
PEW RESEARCH CENTER FOR THE PEOPLE & THE PRESS November 5, 2008
Yet those who cited Palin’s selection as a factor in their vote — 60% of all voters — favored McCain by 56% to 43%.******************************************************************************After the election, on Nov. 7, 2008, an article published by Rasmussen
Rasmussen ReportsFriday, November 07, 2008Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Republican voters say Alaska Governor Sarah Palin helped John McCain’s bid for the presidency, even as news reports surface that some McCain staffers think she was a liability.
********************************************************************************Gallup Daily: Election 2008
Despite the premise of “Game Change” – that Sarah Palin cost John McCain the 2008 presidential election – Gallup polls prove HBO’s assertion categorically false. Palin wasn’t the reason the Republicans lost the election. She’s the only reason they had a fighting chance up until the time McCain suspended his presidential campaign in late September.
Gallup polls from the last presidential race prove that once Palin joined the ticket on Aug. 29, 2008, McCain’s ratings steadily climbed to a point where the Republican ticket even outshined Democratic Sen. Barack Obama.In the two weeks before Palin joined the McCain ticket, the Arizona senator drifted in the low 40 percentile range, mostly around 41, 42 and 43 percent, while Obama held as much as an 8 point lead at about 49 and 50 percent. Four days after Palin joined the ticket, however, McCain’s numbers climbed to 45 percent and Obama’s sank to 47 percent, narrowing the gap significantly from eight points to two.Between Sept. 4-6, McCain and Palin actually overshot the Obama ticket by 3 percent with the Republicans in the lead at 48 percent and the Democrats at only 45. McCain consistently held that lead until Sept. 15, and then the candidates balanced out with Obama enjoying a mere three-point lead, and no lead at all from Sept. 22-24, when the numbers were tied at 46 percent.[...]Some were intrigued as to how McCain’s decision would play out in the polls, but once he suspended his campaign in late September he never recaptured the lead he enjoyed with the breaking news of recruiting Palin.It was downhill from there.McCain’s campaign was taken out of suspension, but it never actually got back off the ground. From then, the gap between McCain and Obama only widened, leaving the Republicans at a severe disadvantage. McCain’s numbers remained steady around 42 and 43 percent throughout October, but Obama’s continued climbing, and by October 31, McCain’s standing had dropped to 40 percent and Obama’s had reached 53 percent – a devastating 13-percent gap.(Gallup article from SPIB-Dr. Fay)

Palin’s Texas Candidate Cruz Goes From 3% Into Run-Off As Remarkable Endorsement Success Continues
Posted by M. JOSEPH SHEPPARD'S "A POINT OF VIEW" on May 30, 2012
UPDATE: FOX agrees with me and calls it a run-off For Cruz.
UPDATE 2:
As the night goes on, things are getting rather interesting. With 99% in all
Dewhurst dropped below 45% to 44.59 and Cruz continues to edge up – now at 34.23%. That puts Cruz at10.36 points behind. That is important as he becomes viable for the non-Dewhurst supporters rather than a seeming wasted vote and will attract finance.PPP had him trailing by 17 points in their final poll 46-29
AT THIS LINK FOR THE OFFICIAL RESULTS FROM TEXAS SEC. OF STATE
UPDATE3:
From PPP (D) Polling, which did a Roper/Truman and stopped polling when Dewhurst was so far in front. The answer to their questions as to why the dramatic change is that Palin got involved. But being a Dem pollster, that wouldn’t have occurred to them.
Dewhurst won early vote by 18 pts but only winning election day by about 6 pts so far…not sure that means anything for runoff or not
****************************************************************
Subsequent to Sarah Palin’s endorsement of him, GOP candidate for Senator from Texas Ted Cruz has completed the astonishing journey from polling at only 3% to being in the final run-off. Cruz having kept the previously presumed winner Dewhurst below 50% in tonight’s primary battle.
PRIMARY RESULT MAY 29th
Clearly this last minute Tweet by Palin to Texans, and her previous robocall, made a major contribution to Cruz’s success in getting into the run-off tonight:
Dear Texans, please remember to vote today for Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate! http://fb.me/KpyB3ek3
.The Cruz rise follows on from Palin’s remarkable success in assisting conservative candidates, who were outsiders and initially polling lowly, into becoming winners. Richard Mourdock in Indiana and Deb Fischer in Nebraska are the two latest, whom even Palin’s enemies have grudgingly admitted were assisted by her into the winners circle.
If Cruz is the last in the recent trifecta, then his win,or even his getting into the run-off by denying Dewhurst a first round victory, will be perhaps the most remarkable of Palin’s picks, and her place as king maker will have to be accepted by the punditry.Of course, not all Palin’s picks will win.That would be impossible, as some choices will have so little prospect of winning even though they are of outstanding quality. However her winning percentage is remarkable as is the enthusiasm her endorsments bring.Here is remarkable polling history for Cruz.
January 2011 Dewhurst 23% Cruz 3% (Dewhurst +20).PALIN ENDORSES CRUZ MAY 10th; CRUZ CAMPAIGN REPORTS MASSIVE INTEREST.Post PALIN endorsement poll May 21st.Democrat Pollster PPP Polling (D) on May 24th.Dewhurst 46% Cruz 29% (Dewhurst +17)PPP also found this result:“Even though Rick Perry’s candidate is likely to defeat Sarah Palin’s, her endorsement polls much more positively. 36% of voters say they’re more inclined to back a Palin supported candidate to 21% who consider it a negative. Perry’s stock with Texas Republicans has fallen so far his endorsement is actually a net minus with 24% saying it would make them more inclined to vote for his candidate to 28% who say less likely.”

Libertarian Republicans “Enthusiastically Endorse” Palin’s Choice (With Video) Cruz In Texas GOP Primary
Posted by M. JOSEPH SHEPPARD'S "A POINT OF VIEW" on May 25, 2012
Here is the LIBERTARIAN REPUBLICAN Website (AT THIS LINK)
The Editor Eric Dondero, a Texas voter “enthusiastically endorses” Ted Cruz’s candidacy which candidacy received the endorsement of Sarah Palin.THURSDAY, MAY 24, 2012
TX Senate candidate Ted Cruz releases ad with Sarah Palin endorsement:
.
From Eric Dondero:It’s getting down to the wire in the hotly contested Texas Senate GOP primary to replace retiring Sen. Kay B. Hutchison. Most observers agree, Lt. Governor Dewhurst is likely to squeek by in the first round, but then faces a very tough challenge in the run-off against likely 2nd place finisher Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz.
In this latest ad, Sarah Palin affirms her support.
Pro-defense libertarians may be wondering where he stands on foreign policy. The race has been much more about budgetary matters. And there appears to be few differences between the candidates on military/defense. Cruz has expressed skepticism of nation-building at taxpayer expense, he does recognize the threat of Islamism.
In a Memorial Day video message just released by the Cruz campaign he asserts:
These are American’s Veterans…
In World War ll they fought Tyranny…..
During the Cold War they battled Communism…….
In our Generation they Serve Valiantly to Defeat Radical Islamic Terrorism……..
Editor’s note – As a Texas voter, I enthusiastically endorse Ted Cruz for US Senate.

Christian Site Celebrates Madeleine McCauley’s “Fight For Life” Her Own & The Unborn
Posted by M. JOSEPH SHEPPARD'S "A POINT OF VIEW" on May 24, 2012
The Christian heroine, young Madeleine McCauley, is now receiving, much-warranted, plaudits for her unshakeable stance for life. This young lady exemplifies the very best in American youth, and as such has of course received death threats from the radical left.
There is an uplifting video of Madeleine on Fox, and her personal story of how she met and was inspired by Sarah Palin AT THIS LINK -unmissable.
Now the evangelical website “Kingdom Insight” (to which I am a subscriber) celebrates her:The battle for life- for Madeleine McAulay
For @m_mcaulay
I am watching before my very eyes a battle being fought surrounding a 16 year old girl, Madeleine McAulay.
As you are reading this, you may be thinking I am talking about the struggle between the progressive ‘trolls’ as they are commonly being called, and the innocence of a young girl boldy proclaiming her voice, standing up for Godly principles. Or, if you are of a different political persuasion, I might be describing the battle between decency and common sense and the bigotry of a naïve, ignorant girl who does not understand the hate she is spewing.
But I am not describing either battle, I am describing a battle in the girl herself, and I see it unfolding here, live, on Twitter. The buzz built around this girl as she was featured on a local Fox news station after her bold youtube video where she proclaimed against the right of homosexuals to marry.
But more, she proclaimed herself to be a ‘Christian Conservative’, marked herself as being separate, distinct from the typical political operative, proclaiming her guiding light in Christ.
The buzz built.
The ‘trolls’ came out to silence this Christian voice. The very work of their assaults served to lift this girl up further, not tear her down, not silence her.
The buzz built.
I came upon this buzz by accident. I discovered a college-age girl on Twitter who had just recently had an article accepted by our local newspaper. I noticed she was a Sarah Palin supporter and thought she might like to get in contact with someone I knew who knew Madeleine.
I soon discovered the girl I was trying to connect was already a member of Team Sarah and already connected to Madeleine.
In this effort to connect, I stumbled upon something rarely seen up close, the stepping out for the first time on a world stage by a new voice, Madeleine McAuley. I saw her, through Twitter, preparing for that step, an appearance on Fox and Friends, a 3 minute spot. The mere fact that she was going to appear on Fox and Friends further amped up the progressive ‘trolls’.
The buzz built.
Then, the comment heard round the world- at least it might be for Madeleine, the comment that may have brought together the perfect narrative for a conservative movement desperate for martyrs, for courageous ‘victims’ to combat the parade of courageous ‘victims’ the progressives have to offer, the anti-Sandra Fluke, if you will.
The buzz built.
The comment flew.

WHEN MADELEINE MCAULEY MET SARAH PALIN PLUS NEW INTERVIEW
Posted by M. JOSEPH SHEPPARD'S "A POINT OF VIEW" on May 24, 2012
___________________
Meeting Sarah Palin Against All Odds
I was sitting in the hotel lounge chatting with a fellow conservative, at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference; we were discussing the day’s events, and our shared love for Governor Sarah Palin, when suddenly a mob of people were gathering outside of the lounge, shouting and carrying on. I assumed it was a GOP Presidential Candidate, or some other “important” person, but when someone yelled out, “It’s Palin”, I immediately jumped out of my seat, and rushed over to see if it was true.It was.If you know me well, then you are aware that Sarah Palin is my inspiration for being involved in politics and you can probably imagine how excited I was to find out I was only a few feet away from her. But there was a slight problem- How the heck was I going to get close to her?Security was everywhere and the mob had grown quite large, with people shouting and taking pictures. I had pretty much settled with the fact that I wasn’t going to get any closer, but suddenly I had an idea. I let my eyes search around the huge room, scanning to see if there was any way around all of the people. When it all seemed hopeless, I caught a glimpse of where the security in front of the Palin’s were going, and without any further thought, I made my way to them.It turns out a few other people had come up with the same idea, but I was not going to let them get in my way. I pushed my way (politely of course) to the front of the line. The security, by this point, began to lock arms and create a human wall. Bristol and Willow Palin walked frantically by, while the security blocked. But as they left, I caught a glimpse of their mom, my inspiration, Sarah Palin.I know it sounds very drama filled, and crazy, and believe me, it was!As I stood directly in front of the security guards, Sarah began to get closer, and the crowd began to push. I quickly pulled out my phone and began to get a video. All I wanted was a smile, or maybe even a handshake, but as she got closer and closer I decided I wanted something more. I wanted a picture.I wracked my brain trying to figure out a way to get her attention, and as she started to walk by I was determined to make it happen. I took a deep breath, hopefully to gain some courage, and then shouted, “I am 16! Can I please get a picture?” There was a slight pause that made me think it was hopeless, but suddenly Sarah whips her hair around, and with her unique Alaskan accent says, “Of Course!”One of the security guards, obviously frustrated said, “Okay. Let her through.” The rest of the guards obliged, unhooked their arms, and one took my phone. Sarah wrapped her arm around my waist and we both smiled for the picture.It only lasted a few seconds, but I swear those were the best few seconds of my life!The picture may not be perfect; it’s blurry and in sepia (which I am still trying to figure out how that happened), but no matter what, it will be a picture I will cherish forever!I guess it is only appropriate to end with what I have always said- Governor Sarah Palin is the one who inspired me to get involved, and Barack Obama is the reason I am involved.
And here is the brave and forthright Madeleine today fighting for her Christian principles whilst receiving death threats
And this from The Blaze (READ THE FULL STORY AT THIS LINK
Madeleine McAulay, a sixteen-year-old Christian conservative from North Carolina, is speaking out today after receiving a litany of death threats and vile responses for publicly espousing her views on gay marriage.Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a Comment »
