Another example of the MSM's lack of credibility: CBS' fawning story on the Palin effect last night
:puke:



(CBS) Most of the candidates Sarah Palin endorsed chalked up victories Tuesday.

And that scorecard leaves pundits wondering whether she'll now train her sights directly on the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.

As CBS News Correspondent Jeff Glor reports, .the former GOP vice presidential nominee backed 43 candidates for the House. Thirty of them won, with races involving nine others still undecided.

Her record in Senate races was closer: She endorsed 12 candidates. Seven won.

Though it's been 15 months since Palin stepped down as Alaska governor, she was very much in this election, stumping for candidates across the country, skewering President Obama at every turn.

"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." ...........(more)

2. Her main candidates failed.
She could not even get Miller elected in Alaska - her home State.

Now Miller is going for lawyers and calling for thugs (sorry out of State supporters) to come and help him with the count.

4. That's opposite of what MSNBC has been saying. They even had
a screen where they kept tabs of how many she supported, how many won/lost and those yetto be decided. Last time I saw thatscreen her candidates only won around 30%-35% of the time. I even posted on DU last night that that was probably the reason we hadn't seen her face all ight.
