Hey, it's primary day again! Let's take a look at the losers Sarah Palin is backing this time.

Friends, there are important primaries across the country tomorrow (Okay obviously this was posted late yesterday.) with many good grassroots conservatives running against Washington insiders, and they need our help! In two states in particular, please help us send conservative fighters Chris McDaniel from Mississippi and T.W. Shannon from Oklahoma to the U.S. Senate. America's future depends on good leaders like Chris and T.W. who will fight for what is best about America! - Sarah Palin

Now there are a number of interesting primaries taking place today, but let's focus on these two since Palin has put her cottage cheese ass on the line again.

As of now it appears that T.W. Shannon is not exactly setting Oklahoma on fire with his campaign, and is currently trailing James Lankford by several points.

However Oklahoma is another state that mandates a runoff if no candidate can reach 50% so it is somewhat likely that this will not be over until later in the summer.

Speaking of runoff elections, currently the race in Mississippi is a toss up between Palin favorite Chris McDaniel and Thad Cochran.

Thad Cochran has even appealed to support from the African American demographic in Mississippi to help him against the more radical Tea Party favorite.

In response, conservative organizations are organizing groups of poll watchers to intimidate the black voters in a state where Jim Crow laws and lynchings are still burned into the memories of the African American community.

So the question is will these tactics intimidate black voters into staying home? Or will they anger them into turning out in droves?

To sum up, it looks like Palin may, or may not, get at least one victory in Mississippi, and the race in Oklahoma will likely go into extra innings.

It is hard to put either of these into the winners column for Palin, so her endorsement scoreboard still records far more misses than it does hits.

But hey, who needs to be good at political prognostication when you have that amazing Rainbow Bay Lodge money to fall back on.
