Romney won’t win any future runs for any political office, because of ALL of the past, present, and future problems with RomneyCare.

She was speaking to a Massachusetts audience, what did you expect her to say?

So basically you're okay with Palin saying whatever she thinks the audience wants to hear?

"Sarah said she would be honored to be on the ticket with Mitt.
I guess you missed that one, eh>?"

And why should anyone support Romney and his Teams' attacks
on Gov. Palin and her innocent children.

Fact: The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts. in some polls, days prior to the election.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY decided …… to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

"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."


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."


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."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s 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 Romney’s 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.


Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"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 Wallace’s husband."


Kathleen Parker: "[I]t is increasingly clear that Palin is a problem." "Parker ... says something publicly that many of us have thought privately
but lacked the courage to say out loud - Palin should step down:"


"Kathleen Parker: After Interviews, Palin Should Bow Out"


Kathleen Parker: "Romney would bring more than squeaky clean qualifications
and youthful good looks to the ticket.
Romney would seem a logical choice."


"Parker: Romney raised bar on freedoms"
Kathleen Parker: "If Kennedy's speech was an important landmark in American political history,
Romney's was surpassing. With heartfelt humility and poetic eloquence,
he tracked the nation's struggle with and for freedom."


Staggering bigotry of Kathleen Parker - UPDATED"


Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney


"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?"

Her comments were the equivalent of political satire.

Politicians make these off-the-cuff remarks all the time.

She was speaking at a rally...she wasn't giving an interview or a press release.

So it's okay for her to say one thing to the media, another to the base, like the political chameleon Romney?

You confuse courtesy with the pathologic, shapeshifting,
timevarying rants of your candidate: Romney.

“I wonder why he thinks he will be any more palatable this time around?”

He does not care about palatability. He thinks it can be bought.

There’s a Romney who’s sure all that glitters is gold and he’s buying the new Hampshire Pri’mry...

His win in New Hampshire would have as much meaning as Paul Tsongas’ win in New Hampshire and Tom Harkin’s win in Iowa.

How much meaning would it have if Sarah Palin won New Hampshire? (presuming that she becomes a candidate)

Anyone who thinks that Governor Palin is going to run with Romney, or make him the VP if she wins the nomination, is smoking crack. There is no love lost between the two.

They said the same thing about JFK and Lyndon Johnson in 1960. (minus the reference to smoking crack)

Oh, gee whiz, don't even joke about that. It's going to take her 20 years to heal from the knife wounds in her back from Slick Willard.

If Romney is the nominee, I am no longer a Republican.

In a choice between Obama and Romney, the best course for conservatives would be Obama.

I agree. By electing Romney, we effectively turn the GOP into another liberal party.

Mitt Romney-Sarah Palin in 2012? You betcha!

Conservative superstar Sarah Palin opened the door yesterday to joining forces with Mitt Romney for a 2012 White House run - a hot ticket that has some Republicans licking their chops at the prospect of unseating President Obama.

“Sounds pretty good,” Palin declared at yesterday’s Tea Party Express rally on the Common when asked about pairing up with the former Bay State governor - giving the idea a big thumbs-up as she left the stage after her headline speech.
