Romney’s not very smart if he doesn’t invite Palin to speak. Regardless his opinion of her, a sizeable, passionate portion of the base thinks very highly of her (and not much of him). Just good politics to have her there speaking and supporting him.
Absolutely correct. He better be in this to win as the future of real American Citizens are dependent on that outcome.
The last of the article indicates the same thing as you.
Palin’s admirers—and they are many, judging by Facebook and Twitter metrics, where her numbers are far greater than Romney’s—still hope for a rapprochement. “Palin is the female Ronald Reagan of our time,” says Kremer of the Tea Party Express. “There’s no one that excites the base, and energizes the base, the way that Sarah Palin does. There’s just not.”
Despite the risks, Team Romney may be well advised to consider bringing Palin inside the tent. Whether she’s in Tampa for the convention or not, she will be out there somewhere, and talking.
Damn right she will be.
Willard better get over himself and start making some smart moves.
