GOP Begins "Romney 2012" Campaign (with a little help from glad-to-help Liberals; take a read)
Vanity, et al | 2-19-10 | TitansAFC

Posted on 02/19/2010 2:40:09 PM PST by TitansAFC

And so it begins:

CPAC embraces the new Mitt Romney

South Carolina mulls 2012: Romney? Palin? Huck?
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/South-Carolina-mulls-2012_-Romney_-Palin_-Huck_-84732787.html

Romney now biggest threat to Obama head to head
http://hotair.com/archives/2010/02/18/ppp-poll-romney-now-biggest-threat-to-obama-head-to-head/

These are just a few examples from the last two days.

You'll also notice the (once again) packed straw poll at CPAC, and a sudden surge in Freepers attacking Sarah Palin at every turn.

It seems the push is already at full force. Mitt Romney is the guy to beat, like it or not (remember that McCain enjoyed -5% support at FR during the campaign), and the GOP is circling the wagons early this time.

Add to that several weekend columns out-of-nowhere attacking Sarah Palin again (George Will, Dorothy Rabinowitz, Kathleen Parker, et al).

let there be no doubt, the organized effort is afoot.

Huckaboob hates Romney and I think Huckleberry can’t wait to run.

“CPAC embraces the new Mitt Romney

And THAT is the problem with Mitt.
Every new election there is a new Mitt.

This year...

Mitt is running as a Hispanic Woman with
business experience.

If gayness were in its ascendancy, Mitt would
be running as a transgendered, gay, hispanic
woman with business experience.

and so it goes...

I give you my word here and now...

If Mitt is the nominee, I will go fishing that day.
I am not voting for another RINO. McCain ended that.

Mitt Romney WILL BE the next Republican candidate. It is His Turn.” I believe this is true.

Says who?

It seems that the Gutless Old Party thinks that governing our country is just a game. In that respect they’re not much different from the RATs.

Everyone in the country knows as much about Sarah now as they ever will. Most primary voters will know that she can’t win so will vote for who they think can win - Romney. That’s how McCain got the nomination. Voters weren’t crazy about him but they thought he had the best chance to win. I don’t think it’s a good idea to vote that way because it means voters aren’t really that crazy about the nominee so won’t work hard for him. I think Dems voted for Kerry for the same reason - they thought he would be able to beat Bush. but they weren’t really that crazy about him so he didn’t win. They really did seem to like Obama so he won. There’s a lesson in there somewhere.

I’ve been screamin to high heaven that this race would come down to Palin or Romney.

Conservatives have been fighting a civil war within their own ranis as usual, allowing Romney to build support and momentum.

Conservtives will once again be looking inside, standing outside...

He will be hard to stop.

-—”Romney will never choose Sarah to be his Vice President. If he does I’ll eat my shoe. It’s never gonna happen”-—

Exactly. He will foolishly pick Santorum, Thune, or DeMint - nice Conservatives, all - hoping it will have a nullifying effect on the betrayal Palinistas will feel. It will instead make many of us more irate that not only did the establishment shun her, but then their nominee passed her over for someone else. It will be a second knife in the heart to Palinistas, and he won't be wise enough to realize that, or the fact that the substitute Conservative - however genuine - will not heal enough wounds.

His team of vitriolic anti-Palinites would NEVER let him pick her, not even if she won 49% to his 50%. Deputy Chief of Staff Steve Schmidt would go ballistic at the mention of her name.

The only way both are on the ticket is if Palin wins the nod and Mitt has a good showing. Like Reagan, she may choose to marry the campaign machinery and existing ground troops in such a manner. He could help in CO, NM, NV, and MI, among others. I would support her over Obama, no matter who she picks as Veep.

But there is no way in hell Mitt Romney would pick Palin for Veep - not given a million chances to do so. His team sees her as radioactive.

Is there a telephone number where millions of us can call Mitt and remind him that he’s a RINO and we’re not campaigning for or supporting RINO’s?

That would be Sarahs PAC, but I don't have the number.

It was Juan’s turn in 2008 and Mitt’s show in 2012.

Check the list in post #30 to see who his supporters are.
