Frankly, everyone including Palin and Gingrich should have stayed the hell out of NY 23. It was just one congressional race best left to the locals.
I think Romney did show good judgement in staying the hell out.
Sarah Palin isn't my favorite for 2012, but at least she did her best to support the conservative candidate. She did the ethically correct thing for which she should be thanked.
Even Newt Gingrich, whose action any decent conservative is diametrically opposed to, took a chance and committed to something.
Mitt Romney committed to nothing. He risked nothing. He is a coward of the worst kind.
I think Romney did show good judgment in staying the hell out.
Romney didn't "stay the hell out". He did nothing until it was completely safe to do so. At the last minute, he sent a donation to Hoffman (^).
See the difference?
Mitt Romney's inaction reminds me a great deal of President Obama's inaction in Afghanistan. Unwilling to do anything, paralyzed with fear, unable to commit to doing anything. In Obama we can see what a Romney presidency would look like.
