The problem for CONSERVATIVE candidates
is that TEAM ROMNEY-SOROS will attempt to destroy them.

Like Sen Thompson.

Like Gov. Palin.

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

[Rational Thought]

There is a huge difference between Palin and Thompson. Thompson was a fairly easy target. I think Palin will be an elusive target.

I actually like her odds, even with a Perry candidacy.

Two questions....Why hasn't Perry announced yet? Is he waiting for something?
