Sarah Palin’s Gold – 20 Endorsed Candidates Win!

Palin’s Magic Touch

By John Dickerson Posted Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2010, at 12:36 PM ET

This is the greatest country on Earth and her best days are yet to come! Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin has special medicine.  That’s about the only clear conclusion to be drawn from Tuesday’s primary results.  She backed five candidates in Arizona, Florida, and Alaska—and they all won.  The rest of the results from the evening defied easy matching.  The themes of anti-incumbency and voter anger are still out there, but the candidates who mastered those forces (or avoided them) did so in different ways…

…Palin now has more support for a favorite story line of hers: The pundits and so-called experts said things were going to go one way but she had faith; she knew the real deal. This is part of her larger pitch: that she understands something fundamental about conservative voters. That, in turn, is what voters believe about her, which makes them think she has a special light to guide the country out of the muck. How much real power Palin has to change minds or give candidates she endorses helpful exposure is still a big question. She may just be good at picking winners. But the Palin brand now grows ever stronger because other Republicans will want to access that magic. Even if they don’t believe it really exists, they have to pretend it does or risk winding up like Lisa Murkowski. If she ever decides to run for president, her opponents will have to treat her very gently.  Full story here.

Editors note:  Palin has endorsed 42 candidates with 20 wins and 10 loses thus far.  These wins far exceed the Presidential death-kiss Obama offers Democrats.  More Palin wins to come for sure!   See chart from The Washington Post.

Site editor Steven Joseph, with Steven Joseph Media, recently lent his promotional support to three candidates… And all three won!!  Congratulations TN Governor Candidate Bill Haslam, TN Stewart County Mayor Rick Joiner & TN Montgomery County Mayor Carolyn Bowers.

Here’s the breakdown.  Some of the text is sourced via The Leaf-Chronicle online and editorial text is added by yours truly, Steven Joseph.

Thursday, August 5, Stewart County and the State of TN picked the winner in the Republican gubernatorial race with Bill Haslam.  Haslam now moves to the November election.  Thanks Team Haslam for allowing me to serve with you as an Independent promoter.  Come on back to Cindy’s sometime between now and November.

Stewart County Mayor Rick Joiner gets to keep his job, winning the county’s top spot by more than a 2-to-1 margin.  Mayor Joiner — it is a blast to know you and to take you up on your “open door” policy.  Congratulations!

Stewart County Chief Deputy Deryk Wyatt became the new sheriff by less than 100 votes, defeating Frankie Gray 2,097 to 1,894.   Gray is deputy chief of the Clarksville Police Department.  Congratulations Deryk Wyatt… What a close call.  Every vote really does matter.

Here is a REALLY close call.  Derek Earhart beat out incumbent Ruth Mathis for Register of Deeds by a mere 35 votes. The final tally was 2,000 to 1,965.  (A mere 35 votes!!  Sorry Ruth — I enjoyed meeting you and your husband on the campaign trail.)  Congratulations Derek.  All of the best in your new role.

Jason Wallace was returned to the Stewart County Circuit Court Clerk position by better than a 3-to-1 margin.  Congratulations Jason.  It was nice to meet you at the Court House this week.

Montgomery County – Mayor Carolyn Bowers re-elected!  Congratulations Mayor Bowers!  All the best to you and yours!

Congratulations to all!  And thank you to everybody who participated in voting!!

Bill Haslam - TN's Next State Governor

August 5, all of Tennessee will have the opportunity to move Bill Haslam closer to the post that will benefit Tennessee the most:   Bill Haslam for Tennessee Governor!

The Eye-Spy Report: They say you can tell the character of a man by the company he keeps.

Friends, I have had several opportunities to observe the man Bill Haslam… and perhaps more revealing, the people surrounding Bill Haslam.

Bill Haslam for Tennessee Governor first caught my attention early 2010 at a Pro-Life rally in Nashville and has continued throughout the summer on the campaign trail.

Everyone on his team whom I’ve met, talked with or e-mailed has been of top quality caliber.  They are outstanding people with excellent character.

In Ashland City, a Haslam supporter said it best;  “There is no second-guessing with Bill Haslam.  If he says it, you can take it to the bank.  Bill Haslam walks the talk.”  I would add that his staff does as well.

Meet Bill Haslam for yourself.  A schedule is posted below.  You will be impressed with his experience, success, values and top-notch staff.

You are also invited to dig though his website posted below.  You will not find fluff… only substance and facts to support the values that YOU support.

Bill Haslam is our BEST choice for Governor of Tennessee.

Health-care lawsuit to proceed. Praise God!

Article re-posted from The Washington Post online, Monday August 2, 2010

A federal judge Monday refused to dismiss a Virginia lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the federal health-care law, handing the law’s foes their first victory in a courtroom battle likely to last years.

(…Likely to last years.   Fantastic!  Tie the whole process up and vote out the ones who pushed this agenda AGAINST the will of the American people! politicsforlife.com editors note)

U.S. District Court Judge Henry E. Hudson rejected arguments from Obama administration lawyers that Virginia has no standing to sue over the law and no chance of ultimately prevailing in its constitutional claim.

The lawsuit, lodged by Virginia Republican Attorney Gen. Ken Cuccinelli II, argues that Congress overstepped its constitutional authority when it included a provision in the law mandating that citizens purchase health insurance by 2014 or pay a fine. (or go to JAIL if you don’t pay the fine.  This is not Cuba! Vote out the ones who pushed this AGAINST the will of the American people!  politicsforlife.com editors note)

Cuccinelli filed the suit moments after President Obama signed the sweeping health-care bill into law, citing the federal law’s conflict with a new Virginia statute that made it illegal to require state residents to purchase health insurance.

The ruling is only a procedural step, paving the way for a full hearing on the legal arguments of the issue in the same Richmond courtroom in October.

politicsforlife.com editors note.  Many States have filed lawsuits against the Federal Government for violating the Constitution.  Virginia is the first to reach a courtroom.  Our President has taken an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies outside and within.  Long live liberty and the pursuit of FREEDOM!  We are Americans!

Sarah Palin Surpasses Two Million Friends on Facebook!

Go Sarah!  There is nothing I like more than a conservative woman who does not abuse the political power she has been given from above.   Sarah, you are a true role model, one that I hope many women will emulate.

Congratulations on exceeding 2 million Facebook friends!  We are proud of you.  Thanks for taking a stand for traditional Christian values in all that you do.

Todd and Sarah,  I was glad to see that Eli Johnston, your future son-in-law, came clean about the lies he told about the family.

Quote from CNN, “On July 7, Johnston publicly apologized to the Palin family in a statement to People Magazine, saying some of his comments about the family were not totally true.“  Who didn’t know that?

All the best to you all.  One of your biggest fans,

Steven Joseph

Quote from CNN website by the CNN Wire Staff titled: Magazine – Bristol Palin & Levi Johnston are engaged again. July 16, 2010 10:42 a.m. EDT.  Quote is not linked due to racy Levi Johnston video content and subtle mockery from CNN newscaster.

And so the story goes…  Long live traditional Christian values.

Rahm Emanuel expected to quit White House

Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, is expected to leave his job later this year after growing tired of the “idealism” of Barack Obama’s inner circle.

Rahm Emanuel

Washington insiders say he will quit within six to eight months in frustration at their unwillingness to “bang heads together” to get policy pushed through.

Mr Emanuel, 50, enjoys a good working relationship with Mr Obama but they are understood to have reached an understanding that differences over style mean he will serve only half the full four-year term.

Friends say he is also worried about burnout and losing touch with his young family due to the pressure of one of most high profile jobs in US politics.

“I would bet he will go after the midterms,” said a leading Democratic consultant in Washington. “Nobody thinks it’s working but they can’t get rid of him – that would look awful. He needs the right sort of job to go to but the consensus is he’ll go.”

An official from the Bill Clinton era said that “no one will be surprised” if Mr Emanuel left after the midterm elections in November, when the Democratic party will battle to save its majorities in the house of representatives and the senate.

It is well known in Washington that arguments have developed between pragmatic Mr Emanuel, a veteran in Congress where he was known for driving through compromises, and the idealistic inner circle who followed Mr Obama to the White House.

His abrasive style has rubbed some people the wrong way, while there has been frustration among Mr Obama’s closest advisers that he failed to deliver a smooth ride for the president’s legislative programme that his background promised.

“It might not be his fault, but the perception is there,” said the consultant, who asked not to be named. “Every vote has been tough, from health care to energy to financial reform.

“Democrats have not stood behind the president in the way Republicans did for George W Bush, and that was meant to be Rahm’s job.”

There were sharp differences over health care reform, with Mr Emanuel arguing that public hostility about cost should have forced them into producing a scaled down package. Mr Obama and advisers including David Axelrod, the chief strategist, and Valerie Jarrett, a businesswoman and mentor from Chicago, decided to push through with grander legislation anyway.

Mr Emanuel has reportedly told friends that his role as White House chief of staff was “only an eighteen month job” because of its intensity.

Regarded as the most demanding after president, it involves controlling the president’s agenda, enforcing White House message discipline as well as liaising with Congress.

His departure would regarded as another sign of how Mr Obama’s presidency has been far more troubled than expected.
