The Republicans' 2008 vice presidential nominee promised a pack of "mama grizzly" candidates would rise up and defeat Democrats in this November's elections. But office-seekers she supported in Kansas, Wyoming and Washington state lost their primaries despite her high-profile endorsements. And Karen Handel lost her runoff contest for Georgia governor a day after sharing an Atlanta stage with Palin.

Now, Alaska's Senate primary on Tuesday is shaping up as an embarrassing defeat in her own backyard. Sen. Lisa Murkowski is expected to dispatch the challenger Palin has endorsed in the Republican contest.

Palin says it isn't about picking winners.

It's pretty funny seeing all her loses listed in one article, and in another part of that article there's a quote that they expect she is going to be quite embarrassed when her backed andidate in Alaska loses in the upcoming primary. Apparently she can deliver wins for other states, but can't do it in her ow HOME STATE.
