(CNN) – Sarah Palin’s endorsement slump has come to a screeching halt, with all three of the statewide candidates she backed either leading or having won their primary bids Tuesday night.
Palin’s most high-profile, and perhaps influential, endorsement came in Alaska earlier this summer – where the former Republican vice presidential nominee backed little-known attorney Joe Miller over Lisa Murkowski, the state’s incumbent Republican senator.
The endorsement immediately rocketed Miller’s profile throughout the state, as did an endorsement from the Tea Party Express which poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into the race. Palin’s husband Todd also penned a fundraising letter and the former Alaska governor herself recorded a robo-call on Miller’s behalf.
As of Wednesday morning, Miller holds a slim 1,960 vote lead of Murkowski, according to an unofficial vote tally by the Associated Press with 98 percent of precincts reporting, with thousands of absentee ballots yet to be counted.
