One win, one loss, one tie.

"Well shit. Let's just focus on the win."

So last night Palin's endorsement mojo was put to the test and it came up "meh."

While pig mutilator Joni Ernst won her Iowa Senate Primary, Mississippi's Chris McDanial is now likely going into a run off with longtime Senator Thad Cochran, and New Jersey's Steve Lonegan got crushed. Again.

So what's a political prognosticator to do in a situation like this? Especially when we all know she hates the idea of sore winners rubbing victories in the noses of the losers.

Well she ignores the one loss, declares the other two races victories, and goes on to rub people's noses in them.

Congratulations, Joni Ernst! This hardworking mama grizzly will be a great representative for the GOP in this fall’s general election, so it’s time for all to come together to send this proud farmer, combat vet, constitutional conservative to Washington to join the good guys in the Senate who fight for us. 

That snorting and squealing you hear tonight (http://youtu.be/p9Y24MFOfFU)? That would be D.C.’s big spenders making their noise in anticipation of a Joni Ernst victory as Iowa leads that #Roaring2November #Together!

 - Sarah Palin

Yes well, that's certainly a dignified response.

As for Chris McDaniel in Mississippi, Palin had this to say:

Chris McDaniel has run a great race, and tonight's unbelievably tight numbers will likely send Chris into a run-off that will help determine our nation's future – so thank you, Mississippi! The Magnolia State will have more time to consider the significant issues facing us and to really reflect on why it is imperative our republic be defended with conservative leadership. 

The U.S. Senate needs this constitutional conservative! Tonight is a victory for grassroots conservatives who came together and shocked the political world. Together, mighty Mississippians can send this son of Mississippi to fight for all of us. 

- Sarah Palin

Of course what Palin is not saying is that if her chosen candidate wins it will give the Democrats the only chance they have had in decades for getting a Democrat elected to the Senate from Mississippi, and that if he loses the runoff might damage Cochran's reputation and drain his finances to the point that he too would be vulnerable.

 And what about Steve Lonegan?

Here's Palin's reply to that question.

Of course the real lesson to take away from last night's primaries is that Sarah Palin really did not help ANY of them.

Ernst received substantive help from a number of political heavyweights and conservative groups:  

Ernst’s campaign spent around $1 million but also got sizable outside air cover from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Senate Conservatives Fund and others.

Ernst won backing from an eclectic coalition of Republicans. Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney and Marco Rubio each visited the Hawkeye State to stump for her. 

With Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney in the mix it is nigh impossible to give Palin much credit for this. 

McDaniel of course had the support of Tea Party groups like the Club For Growth, Senate Conservatives Fund, Citizens United, and Tea Party Express. So Palin was only one voice among many, and by the way Thad Cochran is as old as dirt, and probably running his last campaign.

And even with all of that going for him McDaniel STILL could not reach that magical 50% which would have secured his nomination.

The one candidate who desperately needed a heavy hitter to endorse him, was Steve Lonegan. And let's face it, Palin's endorsement did him NO favors.

So what does this mean going forward? Especially if McDaniel loses the runoff, and Joni Ernst goes down in flames in November? 

Nothing.

Remember this is Sarah Palin, and Sarah Palin does not learn from mistakes.

Which means that in the next election cycle there will be this aged, emaciated figure, dressed in teeny-bopper clothing, appearing on stage with ANY desperate conservative politician who will still have her, waving her fake pom poms and clinging onto that political stripper pole in a desperate attempt to remain relevant.

It will be like bring your grandmother to work day at the titty bar.

I may have to start drinking more if I am going to continue covering her molasses like fall from popularity.
