Forget the TEA party and the GOP : the single biggest winner on November 2 was Governor Sarah Palin.

Remember this ? We do. Our :conclusion is this: one would certainly not want to be caught in her cross-hairs. 20 names appear on this hit list. 18 bit the dust.

Here are the list's results:

Vic Syder lost 38 to 57 percent.
Baron Hill lost 42 to 52 percent
Ann Kirkpatrick lost 43 to 49 percent
Harry Mitchell lost 42 to 52 percent
Gifford won over Kelly 48 to 47 percent
John Salazar lost 45 to 50 percent
Betsy Markey lost 43 to 52 percent (she spent 2 mil and lost)
Allen Boyd lost 40 to 52 percent
Suzanne Kosmas lost 46 to 53 percent
Brad Ellisworth lost 40 to 55 percent
Earl Pomeroy lost (sorry , not percentages)
Charlie Wilson lost 45 to 50 percent
John Boccieri lost 42 to 51 percent
Kathy Dahikemper - lost after supporting ObamaCare
Christopher Carney lost 47 to 52 percent
John Spratt - lost
Bart Gorden decided to retire
Tom Perriello - lost
Alan Mollohan - lost
Nick Rahall - won

Add her ability to pick winners and losers to the list of political "friends" she made during the election season. Understand that her advance into prominence is something done "on purpose" and while the Leftist Losers can do nothing but make lewd jokes and filthy remarks, she continues to grow in terms of political influence does so with a degree of calculation that reveals one with a political instinct not commonly held.

Understand this: by all measurements, Sarah Palin's 15 minutes of fame should have been over 15 minutes following the announcement that Obama had won the 2008 election. Instead, she is now one of the most influential presence in American politics. She was able to bring herself out of "nowhere" against the Establishment GOP , a filthy mouthed Marxist Left and a conspiratorial media. We suggest that all this is something that no one in politics, today, has done for themselves.

You know that Palin has overcome a major barrier when folks at CBS make statements such as this:

"My observation of Sarah Palin," says CBS News political analyst Nicolle Wallace, "is that she is one of the shrewdest political figures in our country at this moment. She's also one of the most electric."
