I can think of two from yesterday's primaries that lost, and her GA governor pick also lost here last week.

GOOD NEWS for the libertarian wing?

Video from Aug. 9 calling her endorsement "political gold."

It means nothing considering the fact that all of her primary picks were losing by even more when she endorsed them. Didn't Matt Collins try to make this ridiculous argument last week?

Means she is picking anti-establishment guys who are always the underdogs. I mean it's not hard to pick the winners they are usually scumbags.

It means it won't get reported on certain "conservative" blogs. ;)

+1

It means Palin is often willing to pick the anti-establishment candidate even at the risk they might lose.

Well, speaking as a Georgian, I voted against Palin's pick for Governor, Karen Handel.

To be blunt, Handel's rancorous holier-than-thou attitude was the reason. The woman actually didn't make a major televised debate because she was at odds with the morality of the libertarian-leaning GOP candidate.

Not sure if the other Palin candidates had that same attitude.

Perhaps the candidates have no real campaign or chance at all. Perhaps she is only endorsing them to be in the news, and attempting to create a (false) image

It could also be that Palin's name is poison.
She is an idiot. I wouldn't want her associated. and would question any endorsement.

This. Can't stand the holier than thou types, and Palin reminds me of one.

Often her candidates and our candidates are the same candidates. Clint Didier (who lost yesterday) was endorsed by both Palin and Ron, no?

TRENDING: Palin goes 0-for-2 on primary night (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/08/18/palin-goes-0-for-2-on-primary-night/)

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/tag/cnn-ticker-producer-alexander-mooney/)

Palin's endorsements have yet to produce victories in August so far.

(CNN) – It hasn't been the greatest of months for Sarah Palin when it comes to her political star power.
The two candidates Palin backed in Tuesday's primaries lost their bids, making the former Alaska governor 0-for-5 when it comes to endorsements this month.
In Washington State, Palin had backed Tea Party activist Clint Didier in his bid for the Senate over businessman Dino Rossi, the favorite of national Republicans.
In making her endorsement of Didier last May, Palin said the Tea Party favorite had "inspired" her (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/05/20/palin-goes-rogue-again-backs-didier-for-senate/), and hailed him as a "patriot running for U.S. Senate to serve his state & our country for all the right reasons!"

Palin went on to record a robocall for Didier, telling voters that "unlike establishment candidates who just talk about lower taxes, Clint has signed a pledge to do so."
But Rossi easily beat Diddier in Tuesday's primary, besting the former NFL player by more than 20 points.
Palin's candidate also lost out in the Wyoming gubernatorial primary on Tuesday. There, the former vice presidential nominee backed what she referred to as a "Mama Grizzly," State Auditor Rita Meyer.
"Voters know that Rita has a unique blend of steel magnolia and mama grizzly," Palin wrote on her (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/07/30/palin-endorses-candidate-in-wyoming/)

It means that her enemies are using a spray repellent that wards off mama grizzlies.
