Don’t know enough to say otherwise to your points. It’s true a candidate is the CEO and has to be accountable for what his people do.
If his folks are disparaging Sarah that’s bad end of story.
Thank you for your input. I have no doubt Romney is hedging his bets, playing the political game, so to speak. He doesn’t want to say too much for Palin, nor too much against her. First and foremost, Romney IS a politician. One of the reasons I was very wary of him in the first place.
Yep.
why would his former aides do this? I think it’s like a cult that even Mitt can’t control.
McCain got my vote yesterday ... I'll stay home before I'll ever vote for Twitt.
I’ve seen Romney on some of the shows and had a decidely different take. Ridge, too.
I think that the left is trying to get people upset with each other. I would be very careful before starting something. Romney intimated that he would like to run with her. I think people are trying to make sure he doesn’t get a cabinet position.
Yeah, I’m just riffing a bit off of how he’s been the candidate so lauded for his CEO experience, but now his defenders are claiming that he can’t be held accountable for what his team does.
I agree about it’s being bad, as they’re clearly trying or willing to take the ticket down as well. I’m optimistic that VP Palin will only solidify her position over the next four years, however.
What politician wouldn't? Sarah Palin is doing the same thing right now (and rightfully so) yet no one here wants to condemn her for it.
The double standard is getting ridiculous.
I have worked all of my life around the Great Basin and have a keen sense of being a gentile in a foreign land....
I wasn’t aware that the Giuliani crowd had anything against Mitt, I think that they like Romney.
“What politician wouldn’t? Sarah Palin is doing the same thing right now (and rightfully so) yet no one here wants to condemn her for it.”
That is a Romney lie right there. Palin is almost single handedly trying to win this election for McCain.
PING
case in point.
“What politician wouldn’t? Sarah Palin is doing the same thing right now (and rightfully so) yet no one here wants to condemn her for it.
The double standard is getting ridiculous.”
The Palin we know is hardly cut of the same cloth as most politicians. She tends to speak her mind no matter what the cost. May I ask what it is that you think Palin has done that requires us to condemn her?
Bingo!
There’s definitely a move to create infighting.
Last night’s Lehrer Newshour spoke a lot about internal “discord”-—and NOTHING about Barry’s wealth re-distribution tape.
I never signed up at his website, but I received more emails from his supporters/campaign than any other and it all consisted of nothing but despicable attacks on the other candidates.
A deceitful skunk.
Thanks for the ping. I’m not following this closely, as I consider it to be sour grapes from Team R.
There are too many important things going on, for me to occupy my time helping to sooth a battered ego
