She jumped the shark a while ago, Standing With Rand:

All she managed to do was incite the crowd (during a dark and ponderous speech) to start screaming the name of their candidate vociferously.

She, basically, fired up the room--and I'll bet they knew just who she was when they let her in, too. They were counting on her providing a little value-added theater.
