    Devolved, not evolved.

    I did. And I found this. Palin's endorsement generated huge buzz, but I doubt that extended beyond tea partiers. Also that Cruz was trending up weeks before her endorsement. I'm telling you, Dew ran one of the worst campaigns I've ever witnessed!

    I did respond to you. I asked you if you felt the same way about the people that voted for/will vote for Obama because of Clinton's endorsement.

    This was something that you did not answer. You can stop hoping for insults now, TFM. I know your game.

    A fairly amazing body of work you have put forth in this thread, and not a single bit of it takes me to task on the thread topic.

    Cruz won because Palin endorsed him. Spin it however you want... doesn't change the facts.

    Devolved... really kinda fits.

    Devolved: to fall or be passed usually as a responsibility or obligation <the responsibility for winning votes has devolved increasingly upon the endorsements of conservatives like Sarah Palin.>

    Yep, that's what I said. Thx for the confirmation.

    Actually I provide you with the quote of mine from within this thread where I deride punditry both left and right. Unfortunately, it showed your argument to have lacked the very basics, that being a demonstration that you were aware of what I had said in this thread.

    In essence I had answered your question long before you even asked it,. yet amazingly as it demonstrated how utterly incorrect your position was there is an ongoing pretense that I did not make my feelings on the topic known.

    That's a fact? Really? I think that is rather partisan opinion and not fact, as certainly you have not provided a shred of evidence that Cruz won solely due to Palin's endorsement.

    Palin hopes to extend winning streak with Missouri endorsement

    Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin speaks at a "Patriots in the Park" Tea Party rally at the Wayne County Fairgrounds on July 14 in Belleville, Mich.

    August 2, 2012
    The Washington Post

    Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin &#8212; though derided on the left and recently dismissed by former vice president Dick Cheney as a poor pick in 2008 &#8212; is nevertheless proving her enduring power within the Republican Party in the most concrete of ways: She keeps picking winners.

    Each of five candidates she has endorsed this year who have faced primaries or other campaigns have won, including former Texas solicitor general Ted Cruz, who Tuesday beat the state&#8217;s well-connected lieutenant governor for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate.

    In Palin&#8217;s biggest test yet as a kingmaker, she heads Friday to Missouri to stump for former state treasurer Sarah Steelman in a close three-way race to take on Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in November.

    As fine an example of scemantic gymnastics as I've ever seen. If it ever makes it to the Olympics, you'd be my pick for gold!

    Did you read the Beck interview?

    "Picking," not creating.

    What's your point?

    Let's examine that, shall we?

    She gives the impression that she has deeply held beliefs she's willing to take on water for and doesn't really care what her critics think.

    Yes, gives the impression. Not that she does have deeply held beliefs, or has shown them to anyone, but she gives the impression that she does.

    She comes off resolute and principled.

    She comes off as principled. Not that she is principled or that she espouses her principles, but she comes off as principled.

    Good stuff. Apparently she gives the impression that she knows what she is talking about, but note the RNC guy does not say she actually does.

    LOL, grasping at straws are we, TFM?

    More from that link:

    Guess we'll have to wait to see how Steelman does in Nov before we can settle this dispute. She's definitely a long-shot.

    Not really. I used your link and demonstrated that the praise she was receiving form the RNC seems to be a bit hollow and carefully worded.

    LOL, better than the praise Obama's getting from the RNC. Not sure what 'praise' has to do with anything. It's results that count... not warm fuzzies.

    Well, the article you provided brought it up. Sorry if your supporting evidence is not particularly compelling, but that is not really my fault.

    She's so real... it's no wonder she's making such a difference in the 2012 elections.

    Yes, because real moms have their preteen daughters put on tons of make up and go in front of the camera to be used as political props.

    I had to stop you here, and thank you for acknowledging that Conservatives are not part of the group which has only half a brain.

    I would also suggest that you consider in which group you consider yourself a part, if the Conservative is routinely is able to run intellectual circles around you, as I just did - again - in this post.

    :p
