Sarah Palin has spent much of this primary season supporting her "Mama Grizzlies," touring the country to stump for female conservatives like Nikki Haley in South Carolina and Karen Handel in Georgia -- as she did yesterday.But an analysis of her primary endorsements reveals that, so far this cycle, the former Alaska governor has actually lent her support to more men than women.
Among the 28 candidates she's endorsed, according to her Facebook page, 10 have been women and 18 have been men. And of the 12 Palin-endorsed candidates who already have faced voters, four men and four women ended up winning the GOP nomination, while two men and two women have failed to win their party's nod -- so a 67% success rate for Palin's endorsements.
(Thirteen Palin-backed candidates haven't yet had their primaries. And another three others -- Handel, Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer, and Colorado congressional candidate Bob McConnell -- have their primaries today.)
