Well, no one ever said he was stupid. Wrong-headed, squishy and wishy-washy, but not dumb. He knows better than to tick off her tens-upon-tens-of-millions of supporters.

Backstabber and Team Romney attacking Gov. Palin ---- for Obama in 2008
Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
"Frum was indeed a critic of Palin, calling her nomination a "huge mistake" during an October 13 (2008, weeks before the election) Early Show appearance."
David Frum: "Two of our most plausible candidates for president in 2012 are leading Mormons: Mitt Romney and Utah governor Jon Huntsman."
David Frum: "I have a lot of regard for Mitt Romney as a man and politician
I will support him without qualm."
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off
.hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the Diva leak was Nicolle Wallaces husband."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

She’s been so great about attacking him. He can’t fight back without looking like an ass. Not that looking like an ass has ever stopped him from doing anything, but even he knows not to overtly attack her. Meanwhile, she’ll compliment him, tear up his record, then compliment him again with a nice smile.
A guy like him has no answer for that other than to send his subordinates out to smear her. But since he was already doing that, he’s got no cards left to play.

The best thing that could happen to you, Hairdo (sunkenciv told me to call him that), is to get hit by Sarah’s bus.

Romney? I thought he died some time ago. You are thinking of the anti-war Presidential candidate Romney in 1968, this is the draft evading Presidential candidate, his son Mitt.

He means that Sarah will force him to pretend he is a conservative and that will help him win the primary.

For any other candidate, raining on a presidential announcement parade would be seen as sabotage. Not former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.It is Romney who is engaging in sabotage. Statements demanding that Sarah should announce that she will not run. Painting her as an outsider. Promoting the idea that she is 'unelectable'. At least CNN loves him, right?

Santorum: Conservative
Bachmann: Conservative
Herman Cain: Conservative
Pawlenty: Semi-Conserative
Newt: Fading fast
Johnson: Not getting any traction
Ron Paul: Has his own army of fanatical Libertarians
Huckabee: Not running
Romney: Definitely a RINO
So if Palin gets in, it certainly helps Romney by dividing
the conservative vote further in primaries. No wonder he is
thinking her and encouraging her.
