Palin is busy doing much more than Twittering her way to fame and glory. Here is her endorsement list.

Editor's notes: if you are a serious conservative blog, you have to deal with Sarah Palin. Why? Well, for one thing, in the most recent polls, she scores as the front runner in the GOP. Her willingness to take positions that are not popular but well-informed (unlike Mitt Romney) is a wonderful trait. Her refusal to be vetted by a corrupt media is to our liking, as well. A conservative cannot read her varied commentary without nodding in agreement. She understands the issues and knows how to use the media to her advantage.

Understand that Sarah's appeal is found in the fact that she represents the successful pursuit of the American dream. Standing in the kitchen, with children at her feet and Mr Macho out somewhere killing moose, she decides to do something about the corruption in her state and the rest is history. She is Miss Middle America on steroids.

Her quitting political office? Well, that is easy to defend. Look, state law prohibited the state from helping Palin defend herself against many of the ethic charges filed against her. She had to go it alone. This fact provided her opponents, fiends of the darkness, a strategy: bury the woman under hundred of thousands of dollars of legal debt, force her to sell her home, take everything from her in a destructive and malicious effort to rid the planet of her influence. At the time of her resignation, she owed 1/2 a million dollars in legal fees, on her way to $3 million or more in the coming 18 months.

I coach wrestling. I always tell my students to never carry the fight into the "opponent's backyard." You fight on your terms or not at all. Palin knew this as a matter of instinct. Rather than play the game "their" way and die a slow death, she put herself in a position to fight back AND WIN. She was right, you know. If she had remained in office, what would the past months be about with regard to Palin? "Palin did this" and "Palin did that." But she quit that game.

What is the worst thing that can happen to evil? Give the object of its scorn money and fame and sympathy. That is what happened. Anyone notice that the frivolous lawsuits stopped ? If we had been her advisors, a job we would love by the way, a job we would be good at, we would have told her to do exactly what she did.

Now, to this list. Understand that is contains endorsements we would not have made. But if Palin is going to be presidential in her efforts, she needs to be inclusive to a degree. On a few seriously important votes, including the filibuster vote of yesterday, Brown, Collins and Snowe helped save the day --- maybe the nation. We trust in Palin's instincts. Her endorsements are not nearly as important as her personal beliefs.

She speaks for this editor more so than anyone out there.

25 endorsements - maybe more.

Lindsey Graham - OK, say what you will. Midknight Review has not made up its mind on this Senator. When we actually listen to Graham defend his point of view, it usually makes sense.

Carly Fiorina - comes from 3^rd to win GOP primary after Palin’s endorsement

Meg Whitman – wins GOP primary

Terry Branstad - wins Iowa gubernatorial race GOP primary. His opponent was Bob Vander Plaats, a favorite of the Tea Parties, Focus on the Family and Mike Huckabee -- a very important endorsement victory for the Governor.

Arkansas state Sen. Cecile Bledsoe - he narrowly loses

South Carolina state Rep. Nikki Haley - gubernatorial race (Haley was firmly in 4^th place in the GOP primary before Palin’s endorsement.)

Rand Paul - a GOP primary winner in Kentucky

Vaughn Ward, an Idaho House hopeful -- loses in his primary bid because of campaign problems.

Scott Brown - a disappointment to some. We think the jury is still out on this Senator.

Bob McDonnell in his successful bid for Virginia State Governor

Doug Hoffman (NY ‘s 23^rd) - Hoffman loses a very close race.

Rick Perry -- winner in his re-election bid as Texas governor.

Jan Brewer – current governor of Arizona. She is up for election this fall, as well.

Susana Martinez for Governor in New Mexico

Marsha Blackburn for Congress (Blackburn seems to be surprisingly liberal in her views. Just sayin')

Oklahoma, Mary Fallin for governor (she wins the GOP primary).

John McCain -- we understand her support here, although it sickens us to no end.

Michele Bachmann -- Minnesota US Congressional Representative. Pelosi and Comrades have decided to invest heavily in Bachmann’s defeat.

Richard Burr -- US Senator from North Carolina

John Thun - running for Senator in South Dakota

Chuck Grassley - Senator out of Iowa - a great conservative.

Gomez - for NY Congressional seat.

Jim DeMint -- Senator out of South Carolina - another great conservative influence.

Rob Portman -- for US Senate seat out of Ohio.

Sharron Angle -- US Senate seat out of Nevada against Harry Reid. Correction: apparently Palin did not endorse Angle during the primary. We received a note from one of our readers to this effect. Thanks for the correction. In fact, as late as June 18, there was no Palin endorsement. Perhaps we missed it.

Editor's note: Palin did not attend CPAC, sending a message that she intended to be her own person with the help of the “good old boys” of the GOP. Good for her.-- research and text by jds.
