I know what you mean. I’ve been thinking the same thing. Well Romney already lost once—even with all that money, doesn’t mean he can’t lose again!

here are a few things for starters:

1) Palin already has the advantage of having gone through the harshest parts of the media meat grinder. So there honestly aren’t any more smears left that’ll resignate with the public—I don’t even think her resignation will matter to voters that much.

2) She understands the media better now and she’ll work all the tools at her disposal (facebook, youtube, talk radio) to her advantage. She also has a very LOYAL grassroots base, who will be willing to donate money (every cent helps) and campaign for her (with no pay.)

3) We already know Palin has the talent to do well in debates and the ability to skillfully expose her Republican opponents’ hypocrisy and flip floppy records without outright disrespecting them. Hopefully that alone will damage the credibility of other candidates.

4) THere needs to be a huge threat looming of a substantial Third Party uprising “should Palin not be the candidate” (but not before then!)—For some reason I doubt Palin herself would lead such a ticket and she’d ultimately back a mediocre Republican if the stakes are high enough (4 more years of Obama) —but the Romneys of the world need to know that the base + tea partiers will not just “settle for anyone” anymore.

(and I don’t want to think about the potential of a “Romney/Palin” ticket—oye and I would not be thrilled w/ Romney as a runningmate either.)

5) It’d be helpful for moderates in the primaries to take away Romney votes.

6) Huckabee needs to not run, so he won’t split votes that would go to Palin.

7) Conservatives in the media need to start NOW in exposing the GOP establishment for what it is.

8) We all need to pray, campaign, and vote real hard!

I cannot seriously believe that Governor Palin would run as VP, and I definitely don’t believe that she’d ever run again with a RINO.

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?
