As part of the The Daily Show's "Indecision 2010" election coverage, host Jon Stewart noted after a clip about Christine O'Donnell's primary win in Delaware last week: "The Palin is strong in this one."

Right, are you, Yoda Jon.

Both Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell have strong ties to the Tea Party, or as Stephen Colbert called them after their recent victories in primaries last week, the "happiest angry they've ever been."

O'Donnell's success in the Delaware Senate primaries comes on the heels of a Palin endorsement and Tea Party backing.

Of course, O'Donnell won't be considered truly Palinesque in political stature until her endorsement bolsters another candidate.
