Exactly. And I, myself, don’t believe that he would want to run again, but we shall see.

Then prepare for a permanent minority status. The so-called conservatives are doing the work of the opposition by cutting the legs out from under our candidates. That’s how we got McCain.

I voted for Romney in the primaries because I was trying to head off a McCain nomination. But when push comes to shove Romney and McCain are Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. We don't need Romney.

Romney is a chameleon and can't be trusted. We need someone who doesn't govern like a liberal and then pretends to be a conservative to get nominated to higher office. We need someone who has conservative blood running through their veins.

It seems to me you are doing to Romney just what you accuse him of doing to Sarah.

Damn straight! We don't need another liberal in conservative cothing as the Republican nominee in 2012!

It means nothing. There’s no names, no details, no nothing.

Former Romney Spokesman Kevin Madden was particularly harsh on Palin in an interview on CNN.

Do you deny that Kevin Madden worked for Romeny?

Go away, Mitt.

We need to get back to basics before picking our candidates.

Anyhow, this article typifies everything that is wrong with RINO-ism.

It focuses on candidates and personalities instead of principles.

That approach has failed, and will now be rejected.

Yes, I know about Kevin Madden, but he is not with the Romney campaign any more since there is no Romney campaign. Maybe someone should ask Kevin Madden why he said what he said and why he agreed to do it. How about us starting there before ranting?

Romney not; however. . .and in truth; we do not who is actually, trashing Sarah. And am still waiting for McCain to step up and put a lid on it. . .he is MIA here. But then. . .and ‘all’ the media; including ‘Fox’ putting way too much a point on it. . .sad.

Now that McCain is a mere Senator, Slick Willard makes his move to control the GOP. In 2007, Romney portrayed himself as the conservative alternative McCain and Giuliani. Slick Willard’s plan for 2012 is to get “neo-cons” and “moderates” to back him. He is hoping to get the support of GOP moderates uneasy with Palin’s socon values. Slick Willard figures that the general public will forget about his flip-flops in 4 years.

Vile, evil little man. Just ready, willing, and able to deliver the final death blow to the party at our most critical juncture since Watergate.

If the Communist Organizer’s approval ratings are sky high in 2012, then I might vote for Slick Willard in the primary so he can be the sacrifical lamb and drain his personal fortunate for nothing.

Quite the optimist that you believe there will be elections in 2012. ;-)

Like I told someone else, Mitt would make a great Democrat.

As far as I care, he can take a very long walk off a very short political pier.

In my opinion, restructuring our primaries should be the first thing we go after if we want to rebuild the right way. I’m not an expert. Maybe I’m way off base. But ... how do we get this done? Where do we start?

Good question. Please ping me on any answer. I'd love to put money toward a coordinated effort to make this happen. Until we restructure the primaries, we're screwed, even when/if the majority of Republicans reject Romney as passionately as we rejected McCain in the primaries. The majority of Republican votes LITERALLY don't matter or count in our own primaries, and that's a sure path to failure -- as we just witnessed on Nov. 4.

On my end, I'll start with conservative talk show hosts. I wouldn't know how else to begin but to get the word out. Is there some sort of an annual meeting of the GOP or conservative PAC or something? Maybe it can be FReeped. I wonder if Mr. Gingrich would be willing to give an opinion. I'll send him an email without much expectation and see if he responds.

I can probably design a website or online petition or something if it is called for. I'm hoping some of the smarter people around here would know whether this is even feasible.

She retains a large and fanatical fan base among cultural conservatives – one that would make her a factor in any G.O.P. primary campaign, and a contender in some states, like Iowa.

Yes. I just hope Huckabee does't diminish in stature before 2012. Palin and the Huckster, I hope, will split the redneck vote, allowing a Romney or some other electable candidate to get the nomination.

Mitt and Huck are done. Toast. Turkey meets fork.
