Sarah Barracuda is a lot like Paul the Octopus. She can really pick a winner.

Palin’s latest notch (via the New York Times):

Karen Handel, a former secretary of state who was endorsed by Sarah Palin, came in first in Georgia’s Republican gubernatorial primary Tuesday evening and will face Nathan Deal, a former Congressman, in an Aug. 10 runoff.

Add that to a months-long string of victorianous Palendorsements, and you’ve got what looks like a certified craze on your hands. Via AolNews:

Primary Winners Endorsed by Palin:

Terry Branstad (for Iowa governor)
Rand Paul (for U.S. Senate in Kentucky)
Rob Portman (for U.S. Senate in Ohio)
Rick Perry (for Texas governor)
Susana Martinez (for New Mexico governor)
Adam Kinzinger (for U.S. House of Representatives in Illinois)
Sharron Angle (for U.S. Senate in Nevada)
Carly Fiorina (for U.S. Senate in California)
Nikki Haley (for South Carolina governor)

Primary Losers Endorsed by Palin:

Angela McGlowan (for U.S. House of Representatives in Mississippi)
Tim Burns (for U.S. House of Representatives in Pennsylvania)
Vaughn Ward (for U.S. House of Representatives in Idaho)
Cecile Bledsoe (for U.S. House of Representatives in Arkansas)

Special Election Loser Endorsed by Palin:

Doug Hoffman (for U.S. House of Representatives in New York)

Pretty good record. Then again, given Palin’s own limitations as a national candidate, how strange would it be if she could get just about anybody elected but herself?
