Rumor Patrol: Romney Camp Spreading Palin Stories?

Rumor: Aides and advisers to Mitt Romney are responsible for spreading most of the anti-Palin stories that have been going around; during the campaign, they pressured reporters to look into reports of tension between McCain and Palin factions.

Its not going to work, Mitt.
Rumor Patrol, Ping.
Save us from charging RINO’s...
Agreed! The McCain faction of the party has failed to win! Time for the party elites to take a back seat. Palin or someone with her conservative creds will be running in 2012. We must make sure that is the case!!
What about the McCain aide?
One must wonder why the Romney supporters are keeping this issue so high profile.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Rumor Patrol, ping.
What a devout Mormon, all that gossip and all. putz
Revealed as a hoax.
Did you even read this? Ambinder (three days ago) is debunking the Romney-did-it rumors.
Analysis: As one of the first reporters to sense these ill-winds, I don't see an organized conspiracy. The first people with whom I spoke had no connection to Romney's campaign whatsoever -- they were longtime McCain advisers and aides... so...they didn't much like Mitt Romney. When Palin was first selected, of the five Romney aides/advisers I remember contacting, three had positive impressions and two had mixed impressions.
Now, as the campaign progressed, there were people who can be fairly described as being Romney advisers who began to criticize Palin and pass along what their Republican friends were telling them. But so did consultants, strategists and activists representing every potential 2012 candidate. And other Romney advisers continued to praise her.

Rumor Patrol Spreading Rumors??????
I like both Romney and Palin. They are both conservatives, unlike McCain.

No, that’s just coming from someone who doesn’t like Romney...that’s just not his style!!
Romney is a liberal pro-abortion big government healthcare flip-flopper. Look at the Romneycare crap he on Massachussetts.
Willard will tell anyone anything to get elected.
He’s a liar.
Beat me again. You win! Brilliant minds and all.... :-)
Relax, people. This is “The Atlantic.” This is not a conservative-friendly publication. The people who publish and write for this rag love nothing more than a cat fight on our side, and they are willing to do or say anything they can to foment just that. Don’t be duped.
