Forget the Tea Party or even Barack Obama (the former "Yes We Can" guy)! It's Palin Power!

Dissed by Both the Tea Party and Most Far Right Conservatives (Except, of Course, SP) -- Kelly Ayotte and her #1 Endorsement, Sarah Palin

The Most "Even Beneath the BP Oil Residue in the Gulf" Underdog, Christine O'Donnell -- and dissed by (gasp!) Karl Rove -- and Her #1 Endorsement, Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin did it again! This time she shoved aside some of the unkindest cuts of all against lovely (she is cute!) Christine O'Donnell who simply cheated a little with Republican funds and suggested some years back that we not touch ourselves--the cuts inflicted by the Republican Party itself and even Karl Rove who managed to put a clown in the White House for eight years. This was a gargantuan upset and a real signal that Hillary's glass ceiling will likely be breached--maybe as soon as 2012.

Then to add insult to injury, another of her candidates toppled the Tea Party Candidate (huh?) in New Hampshire. Yup! Former New Hampshire attorney general Kelly Ayotte (Palin's pick) held a one-point lead over Ovide Lamontagne (a Tea Party favorite who cast himself as a "true" conservative) in the Granite State with 85 percent of the vote counted Wednesday morning.

Later in the day, it was obvious that Palin's pick would win and Lamontagne conceded.

According to the latest odds from Paddy Power, an online betting book based in Ireland, former Governors Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney are the favorites to win the Republican Party's 2012 presidential nomination. Palin has stayed coy so far about her own intentions in 2012, but Mitt Romney has not denied that he would run as her VP-mate.

As of late today, Paddy Power will pay a measly 5-1 to whomever bets that she will announce her presidential candidacy at the Iowa Republican Party's Ronald Reagan Dinner on Sept. 17.

That's the day after tomorrow!
