Sarah Palin congratulates Georgia Republican Senate primary candidate Karen Handel, for losing.

Courtesy of the Facebook page for She who Wields the Palin Curse:  

We need a united front to combat the egregious agenda under which our economy, security, and freedoms now suffer. It's only by banding together to push conservatives across the finish line that America can recover. How to do it? Focus. Keep your eye on the ball. Remember the real threat to our country's solvency and sovereignty is the liberal pro-Obama candidates we'll face this fall. 

A special thanks tonight to Georgia senate candidate Karen Handel for having the courage to jump into the ring and fight for what is right. Our nation becomes a better nation when good candidates like Karen come forward and offer to serve for the right reasons. The party of Lincoln and Reagan needs more strong, confident conservative women like her. Teddy Roosevelt's quote about the man – or woman – “in the arena” is applicable here: God bless the candidate “who strives valiantly,” and “if [she] fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that [her] place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” 

Many more primary races are underway. Constitutional conservatives will be the ones to adhere to the blueprint our Founders created for us to follow towards a more perfect union. Please support them. United we’ll stand for the exceptional nation America is destined to be again. Divided we’ll fall under continued failed liberal policies.

Palin also links to her Whoring to November video, which seems interesting because yesterday one of her Mama Grizzlies died of mange.

Yes there are more primary fights coming and many of them feature more Palin endorsees, including the pig mutilator and the gator rassler, so you know her losing streak is really only picking up steam.

I love that Teddy Roosevelt quote, which her ghostwriter had to alter in order to make it grrrl friendly.

Though I am not sure how a woman who left her previous job in disgrace, and has run two losing campaigns in the last five years could be accused of striving "valiantly."

Palin also managed to jump from Roosevelt to Lincoln today posting this quote:

And then accusing President Obama, of destroying the country from the inside. You know, because he is "the other."

"Government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost." Friends, that’s rationed care. That’s the VA today. That's what's got to change. That's why Congress has got to change because until we elect leaders who'll buck the march to socialized medicine known as Obamacare, America’s health care system will go the way of the VA. That's why Obama’s Democrat party must be defeated in the ballot box in November. America is still the strongest nation on earth; outside forces won't ruin us – we will only destroy ourselves if the status quo doesn't go.

Boy she is really focused on the idea that the VA scandal exculpates her from the death panels nonsense.

Interesting to me that she quotes Lincoln, the man who did away with slavery, and moved the country to a place where a man named Barack Obama could one day be President, despite his skin color. And then condemns the first black man to enter the White House as an enemy of the country, bent on its destruction.

I wonder if she recognizes the irony?

After a brief aberration it looks like Sarah Palin's endorsement losing streak is back on track.

Yesterday's Georgia primary handed Palin yet another, in a long line, of defeats for candidates that she endorsed.

This from Politico:

The third place finisher was Karen Handel, the former secretary of state who tapped into the Sarah Palin wing of the party and had gained momentum in recent weeks after Perdue seemed to knock her educational background. But she failed to raise enough cash to compete with Kingston and Perdue in the expensive Atlanta media markets. 

Of course last week Palin had the opportunity to receive a little reflected glory after two of her safest choices managed to win their primaries, but of course she was unable to gloat after writing this the week before when another of her endorsements went down in flames:

You’re perpetuating an “us versus them” mentality with this gloating. That does our cause of defending our republic and all our freedoms and opportunities no good. Are we not on the same side, standing firm on all platform planks that empower the people instead of growing government? The people you’re mocking comprise the base of your own party, remember? To paraphrase the great Ronald Reagan: Rein it in and humbly learn how much we can accomplish together for America when we don’t care who gets the credit. 

I imagine that Palin is hoping that her detractors remember those words as once again she is on the losing end for endorsing yet another ill advised choice.

A candidate, by the way, for whom she is a repeat offender.

I am sure that Handel will be happy to seek Palin's endorsement when she runs for her next job as a greeter at Wal-Mart.

Karen Handel features endorser-in-chief Sarah Palin in first campaign ad. Yeah, that should help.

Courtesy of the Washington Post:

Handel on Friday launched her first campaign ad, and it plays up her recent endorsement from the former GOP vice presidential candidate. Apart from the disclaimer at the end, the ad features only Palin's voice.

For those who can no longer stomach Palin's squawk:

"You know her background, you know her record.  The conservative who has walked the walk. Cutting budgets, not raising taxes, how often do you see that in government? Where somebody actually gets in there and does what they tell the people who hired them that they'll do, they actually fulfill promises. We don't have to be surprised when Karen comes through, doing what it is that she says that she will do. The next United States Senator from the great state of Georgia, Karen Handel."

Followed by a smattering of applause and Handel saying she approves this message.

It is worth noting that Handel has never yet held elected office, which makes Palin's praise for never raising taxes and keeping campaign promises kind of retarded.

Handel is in the running for this nomination against four other major candidates, all of them polling better than she is.

If this idiot thinks that a Sarah Palin endorsement is going to be the wind beneath her wings, she is about to learn a hard lesson in the power of endorsements from political has beens.
