I think/hope you’re right!

Here’s a video of Palin plugging in her early picks for the primaries two years ago:

Say.... you do realize that although Meg Whitman is currently running for gov of CA, that her actual goal is the White House, say in 2016, and earlier of course, if there's "no one else" around.

You *do* understand that SHE would be the competitor, and not her BFF Mitt Romney?

“Romney struggles to answer if Palin is qualified.”

(What was so irritating was how libs would use these clips to say “see! even conservatives don’t think she’s qualified! muahahah.”) — completely clueless by how threatened everyone is by her.

I don’t think I could ever find it in myself to vote for Romney.

I wouldn’t vote for any Goldman Sachs favored candidate for anything.

Read the book called AHEAD OF THE CURVE.

It's an expose of that vile Harvard Business School where they both received their MBAs.

Thank you! I just checked my local library’s website and it carries “Ahead of the Curve!” It’s good to get to know all the inner workings of everything...

PS: Romney will be on Hannity tonight if you want to do some analysis of his latest motives.

Thanks for the heads up, I may have to turn on the TV and tune him in, if for nothing else, then for laughs.

Can you imagine the degree of clinical pathological narcissism one must have in order to run again & again & again for an office that you never will get elected to?

And what do you seriously think of the people who ADVISE Romney to run? Surely lots of them make lots of money as his full time advisers, but WHY should he waste his millions this way?

Meg Whitman has BILLIONS of dollars, she can run for anything, all the time, everywhere, and AFFORD it.

(Romney was on just now bashing the stimulus and Obamacare...no REAL questions were asked of him though—if Hannity had guts, he would have asked Romney about Romneycare and its failures!)

I think enough voters are turned off by billionaires these days. Meg Whitman could potentially be Governor—but President(?) Hmm that’s a whole different ball game, as we all know. EVEN WITH the money.

* I suppose his advisors want prestige and power, etc...

* I wonder if there’s a Mormon conspiracy.

Apparently Meg met Mitt when she applied for a job from him; however, they are both alumni of Harvard Business School, and interestingly, I've read that somewhere on some genealogical websites or chatboards or something, there is mention of an early Mormon family who for at least a couple generations always had a daughter named Margaret Whitman - but I have no idea if she is a descendant of that family.

I don't know what religion, if any, that she and her husband are, or are not.

You should use that for your tagline
