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.

"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."

Hell naw

[fwdude]

The GOP does seem to be suicidal, don’t they?

[driftdiver]

they are just trying to suppress conservative voters

[BarbM]

I think we need the following:
A MAN
a man who can speak loud and clear.

a man with steel balls.

Is there anybody out there with these credentials?

[stevem]

It would sure be nice if he campaigned as though he wants the 3,000,000 voters who stayed home last time to actually vote for him.

If he is going to keep shooting his mouth like a Democrat, he should run as a Democrat.

[Argus]

It’s like a recurring nightmare.

[Gen.Blather]

How do we stop the first two or three primary states from picking our candidates? I’m frankly tired of it.

[staytrue]

“He sure didn’t win his “home” state, did he? “

Why do you think people who read this site are stupid ?

You don’t like Romney, fair enough.

But your bashing of romney by saying he did not win his home state is stupid as all who read this and you know it too. So grow up , give the readers some credit and find another insult.

I like Romney but if I did not, I think this would work.

“So Mr. 47% might run again, NOT”

[forgotten man]

A minority of a minority in a tiny state like Romney. Maybe Jeb Bush, John McCain, and Chris Christie should jump in too.

[ansel12]

Romney’s success in creating an image of being an elder GOP party statesman out of decades of image building, yet only a single election victory and term in office (a 34% approval rating on exit, failure) is proof of the power of the media and the GOPe political machine.

The disconnect between how insignificant and victory free his political career has actually been, versus his national image as a top tier career politician, are astounding.

[bmwcyle]

He did not run last time.

[VTenigma]

No Mitt, no Jeb, no Chris, NO HILLARY

Romney: ‘It kills me’ not to be in White House

Mitt Romney says it “kills” him that he’s not president. But he doesn’t blame Superstorm Sandy, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie or anything else on his loss to President Barack Obama—except his campaign’s failure to connect with minority voters.

“I lost my election because of my campaign,” Romney said on “Fox News Sunday” in his first television interview since his November defeat. “Not because of what anyone else did.”

The former Massachusetts governor refused place blame on Christie, who some Republicans say gave Obama a last-minute lift in his embrace of the president in the wake of the storm.

Romney said his inability to win over black and Hispanic voters—and the damage done by those disastrous “47 percent” comments—ultimately derailed his White House bid.

Ann Romney, though, pointed the finger at the fourth estate. “It was not just the campaign’s fault,” Ann Romney said. “I believe it was the media’s fault as well, in that he was not being given a fair shake—that people weren’t allowed to really see him for who he was. I’m happy to blame the media.”

Her husband, she said, “has an enormous skill set in dealing with difficult issues and I totally believe at this moment, if Mitt were there in the office, that we would not be facing sequestration right now.”

Mitt Romney said President Obama has failed to lead on the sequester.

“He didn’t think the sequester would happen,” he said. “It is happening. To date, what we’ve seen is the president out campaigning to the American people, doing rallies around the country, flying around the country and berating Republicans and blaming and pointing. Now, what does that do? That causes the Republicans to retrench and to put up a wall and to fight back.

“I’ll look at what’s happening right now, I wish I were there,” he said. “It kills me not to be there, not to be in the White House doing what needs to be done.”

On election night, Romney said, he was “convinced” he’d win the election—until Ohio went in Obama’s favor.

“It was a slow recognition until ultimately when the Ohio numbers began coming in and they were disappointing,” he said. “By 8 or 9 o’clock, it was pretty clear that we were not going to win.”

Romney, who has avoided the press since his loss to Obama, likened the election and its aftermath to an amusement park ride.

“We were on a roller coaster, exciting and thrilling, ups and downs,” Romney said. “But the ride ends. And then you get off. And it’s not like, oh, can’t we be on a roller coaster the rest of our life? It’s like, no, the ride’s over.”

At this stage pretty much everybody they ask is a “low information voter” relying on names they remember from previous elections.

FR isn’t going to do Romney again, are they?
