GOP megastar Sarah Palin’s bus tour rumbled toward the Hub last night, driving into a Republican Party furor as her headline-grabbing East Coast trip threatened to overshadow today’s presidential announcement by party front-runner Mitt Romney.
“She will certainly be in New Hampshire to rain on Mitt’s parade,” wrote Massachusetts GOP spokesman Tim Buckley in an e-mail obtained by the Herald. Bay State GOP officials confirmed yesterday that Buckley wrote the e-mail, but said it was a private exchange and not an official communication.
“I guess she blew in with the storm,” sniffed state House minority leader Bradley H. Jones (R-North Reading) yesterday, a longtime Romney supporter. “She may generate a lot of attention, but given the choice between seeing Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney, I’d much rather see Romney.”

“It is becoming more and more clear to people that this is about Sarah and her brand and not a presidential campaign,” said one Romney consultant, who added, “She’s not making any friends within the political communities. If you cared about things like delegates and primaries, I think you’d be a little more attentive.”
Still, the rogue road trip put Palin back in the national spotlight, said Steve Duprey, a national Republican committeeman in New Hampshire whose wife volunteers for Romney but who said he is neutral in the race.
“Simply by putting her family in a bus and touring around the country she’s generating more media attention than most candidates,” Duprey said. “All the discussions before were about other candidates. She’s changed the conversation just by getting on a bus.”
Meanwhile, Romney kept a relatively low profile yesterday, quietly tweeting last night: “Big day tomorrow. Join my @livestream event as I announce my candidacy for President in New Hampshire.”

Lol !
Hope yer well.....stay safe.
I smell fear.
Palin CAN take the GOP nomination.
As for the oft mentioned rap about leaving the governorship in Alaska — she wasn’t quitting, she was being a tactical commander.
Why (if only to appease those who say you’ll be labeled a “quitter”) stand your ground when you know your enemy has the advantage there, that they have no honor and that they are intent on driving you into the dirt?
You regroup and fight on the battlefield of your own choosing. As she is doing.
Romney was “da boy” for the Republicans from the start. He has been groomed for 10 years and was the next “privileged” one selected from the royal stable of anointed Republican “pre-selectees.”
Only problem is that Sarah has somehow woke up the zombie Republicans and they now see through all of the “smoke and mirrors” the RINOs and lifers in the party have thrown up to always get “da boyz” set up as their candidate.
This is it. The last chance we have to take our country and American lifestyle back...and Palin and Bachmann know it and are pulling out all stops to let the people know that too!
Think God, at least there are two people who take the last stand for American, and guess what? They are not the spineless male politicians of today’s wasted Congress...THEY ARE WOMEN!

Gee, Brad, and you wonder why the number of MA GOP legislators is smaller than Anthony Weiner's junk.
“If the GOP does not back a true conservative they will lose to the worse President this Nation has ever had. And what would that say about them?”
That it is past time for a second party.
Well, certainly a 3rd party would indeed guarantee an Obama reelection, but the upside is the spine chiller the GOP will get about paying attention to the conservative movement. We`re not dominant in numbers, but we can make a powerful electoral point.
You would be too, if you woke up one morning and suddenly realized you'd been feverishly supporting a left-leaning "moderate" whose resume, boiled down to its essence, was:
1.) Plastic game show host hair; AND --
2.) ObamaCare Lite. ;)
LOLOL.
I said she is building something I think she will start her own party. She is trying to pull the GOP in her direction, but if the GOP still wants to play these pallor games screw-um, I can see her building a team from the ground up and going Independent. Who needs a convention and delegates when your structure doesn't need one.
Don't know if you're right or not, but she's the only one out there that would have a chance of pulling it off. At the presidential level, it is likely to fall short as a new entity - the real test would be if a loss destroyed or strengthened the foundation she builds.
I hear you.
But I don’t want any “Third Party” for 2012.
No more split-vote Ross Perot wins for the Left.
If she takes that route, I’ll have to walk away.
If she wants to rebuild the GOP, I’ll march beside her.
She’s already mobilized conservatives and gotten wins for the GOP.
I will not vote for Mitt Romney.
If the RINO’s put him up the Republicans are done for.
Might as well go third party.
I cannot see how America can survive another 4 years of Obama, but if the RINO’s decide that is what they want, there isn’t much we can do about it.
Romney is Obama light.
I could accept Romney being President In New Hampshire. I would not like to have him as President in the Rest Of The Country, though.
It would be conceding the election to an effective socialist no matter which of them were to win. In fact, it might be worse to have an effective manager doing it to us.
Bachman is right about that. With Palin in it there really is no competition with Bachman.
can someone educate me how one become a delegate and why they’re important during the primary. I thought ordinary citizen pick their primary leaders
Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama isn't!

Venturer, instead of going third party, do what I and some others plan on doing . . .write-in Palin’s name.
