Palin’s Picks: Good Morning America Scores Sarah Palin’s Midterm Performance

Just because Sarah Palin wasn’t up for election last night doesn’t mean that she couldn’t win—or lose. As midterm results continue to pour in, Good Morning America took a moment to reflect upon how House, Senate, and gubernatorial candidates endorsed by Palin performed last night. So how did her Mama and Papa Grizzlies do? Pretty, pretty well.

“If there was any doubt about it, last night’s election confirmed the strength of the Tea Party and of Sarah Palin as a national figure,” Robin Roberts informed her viewers. She tallied up how Palin’s picks fared: six of her eleven Senate endorsements won (and we’re still waiting for Alaskan results), as did twenty-one of her forty-one House endorsements (with many more races yet to be decided), and six of her eleven gubernatorial candidates will be taking office as well.

Looks like Karl Rove‘s fears have come true: Palin wields considerable influence over the Republican Party and, in turn, much of the nation (including SPALASKA!). The only question now is whether it’ll carry over to 2012.
