Palin Goes 0-for-2 In Alaska As Clout Disappears Nationally

[kpete]

WASHINGTON -- Sarah Palin has lost the magic. The defeat of her choice Tuesday in a Republican Senate primary in her home state of Alaska capped a primary season in which her favored candidates have stumbled across the nation.

A referendum to restore Palin’s signature achievement from her time as Alaska governor, a state tax on oil companies, was also headed toward defeat following Tuesday’s voting, dealing a double whammy loss to Palin in her home state and highlighting her declining influence.

Only four of the 15 congressional candidates endorsed by Palin nationwide this year have won their primaries, a far worse record than the previous two elections, when Palin played a role as kingmaker and her approval was eagerly sought by candidates looking for an edge with Republican voters.

Palin remains talented at raising money. “But her influence on the actual political process is diminishing rapidly,” said John Feehery, a Republican political consultant and former aide to GOP leadership in the House of Representatives.

11. Well I voted to overturn the oil tax give-away put into place by the current Governor

When Sarah was chosen to be McCain's VP she was the the most popular governor in the nation and her Oil tax was one of the reasons why. Democrats liked that tax very much. The new Republican governor got it repealed and it amounted to a Two Billion dollar give away to the oil industry. Funny how all of a sudden after that was repealed the state had a two billion dollar deficit and had to close thirty schools and lay off almost a hundred teachers throughout the state. There was a referendum on the ballot to re-instate it but it failed by a small margin.
