LOL!--that statement is going to go over well in Iowa!
Who wrote this drivel? I mean, honestly.
Talk about damning with faint praise...
The author just couldn’t objectively describe what Mrs. Palin is doing. She HAD to sprinkle all these insipid little comments “upstaged by the antics of the former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin,” “when she released a self-pitying video” “That did not, however, soften her heart towards present-day immigrants.”
Everyone here by knows my opinion of a Palin run — but I have great respect for Mrs. Palin and this kind of yellow journalism, although par for the course, should never be allowed to stand unchallenged.
In the past, hasn’t the previous VP candidate been considered the ‘front runner’ when subsequently running for Prez?
This puzzles me.
Haven’t researched it, just going on memory.
PUKE!!! Romney will not get a vote from me, Primary or General election. He is not a Conservative by any measure of his actions...
>>In the past, hasnt the previous VP candidate been considered the front runner when subsequently running for Prez?<<
Not really as a rule. The current VP is usually considered to have the inside track for the nomination when the sitting president runs 8 years.
he has concentrated on the more sophisticated state of New Hampshire.”
Gag!
"Sarah Palin, who launched a One Nation roadshow wearing a black leather jacket and storming into Washington on the back of a Harley Davidson motorcycle"
I want to know what romney wore and what he drove when he made his obligatory pilgrimage to Bible Belt Iowa. Did he storm in, sail in, breeze into Iowa? Did he pray? bring his Bible? open it? Who was with him? who did he see? what did he eat? did he burp?
Why do we only get such details about Gov Sarah?
Looks like Palin’s getting ready for a clambake:

Oh, c’mon. Slick Willard and Emperor Zero are like identical twins. Both are confirmed Socialists, disastrous leaders and pathological liars. They also have the most deranged whackjob supporters, too, who think they’re both the Messiah.
Do YOU think Obama is "non-ideological and pragmatic"??
As Trump said. Romney is a “Stiff”.
Often “considered” times, yes, especially since 1960. Although sometimes they run and fizzle out in the primary and on a few occasions, they decline to run...
1960:
JFK (D)-had been considered almost a “de facto” VP candidate in ‘56
Nixon (R)-Sitting VP
1964:
LBJ (D) former VP, then President
Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. (R), lost in the primary to Goldwater
1968:
Humphrey (D)-Sitting VP
Bill Miller (R), Goldwater’s running mate in ‘64, didn’t run
1972:
Ed Muskie (D), Humphrey’s ‘68 running mate, lost in primary
1976:
Sargent Shriver (D), McGovern’s running mate, lost in primary
1980:
Bob Dole (R), Opted to run for reelection to Senate after failing to register in early primary
1984:
Mondale (D), Carter’s VP
1988:
Geraldine Ferraro (D), Mondale’s running mate, didn’t run
GHW Bush (R), Reagan’s VP
1992:
Lloyd Bentsen (D), Dukakis’s running mate, didn’t run (but got Cabinet app’t)
1996:
Dan Quayle (R), candidacy fizzled out early
2000:
Al Gore (D), Clinton’s VP
Jack Kemp (R), Dole’s ‘96 running mate, opted not to run
2004:
Joe Lieberman (D), Gore’s running mate, candidacy floated but opted out
2008:
John Edwards (D), Kerry’s running mate, lost primary
Dick Cheney (R), opted not to run
Here’s hoping he’s the front runner in the “Race to the Bottom” marathon!
Hell, no. He’s about the most ideological and NON-pragmatic President in history. If a Republican acted the way he did (albeit in opposition to his stances), the media would destroy him as a “dictator.” Pretty much what was done to the moderate, pragmatic Dubya. Contrasted with Clinton, Dubya resembles Bubba (post-1995) more than Zero (in fact, Zero’s refusal to follow the Bubba template is what will likely cost him a second term). Although Zero is like the 1993-95 Bubba, but infinitely worse.
My point exactly. :-)
he worked with the late senator Ted Kennedy
..........................................................
That should be the kiss of death for his campaign.
Any Republican who would work with Ted Kennedy isn’t fit to be called a Republican. Yes Senator Hatch, This means you.
"As governor of Massachusetts, he worked with the late senator Ted Kennedy to enact health-care reform,
signing a law in April 2006 that established near universal coverage in that state.
The Massachusetts law was long celebrated as an achievement."
What a lie and inaccurate reporting.
Massachusetts health care, previously the best in the USA,
is FINISHED in that THE PEOPLE cannot get access.
.... and Pharoah Romney fled Massachusetts.
Someone who thinks like the speechwriter who wrote Romney’s announcement drivel:
“We didnt know what sort of a president he would make. It was a moment of crisis for our economy, and when Barack Obama came to office, we wished him well and hoped for the best.”
