“Contested convention, anyone? “
I sure hope and pray that will be the case.
I will never again vote for,or in any way support, another RINO such as Romney..... or big government nitwit such as Saintorum.
If a contested convention doesn’t stop this train wreck, as far as I am concerned... it’s over.
Nope. If there was, what makes anyone think the delegates would go for Palin?
No, actually it’s Governor Palin. You keep the highest title you’ve earned.
The nomination would essentially be over if Sarah would have run.

When people stop the goofy stuff, we might get somewhere.
When we have Romney’s Communication adviser talking about “ecto sketches”, his flip flops, Romneycare, LOW turnouts, and a pis-posh-pashaw attitude, then it’s THEY who sound pretty goofy.
You won’t get anywhere as long as we have RINOs at the helm.
Tnere are multiple layers of vetting in some states. I know in the caucus states, the precincts send a bunch of delegates to the state convention, but they get whittled down to a smaller group to go to the national convention. In Pennsylvania, they’re directly elected, and it sounds like from one article that the state party plays a huge role in whose names get on the ballot. Ron Paul’s people are of course trying to pretend to support other candidates to get selected as delegates, and who knows if people who might prefer Rick or Newt are doing the same thing.
Found one! Looks presidential to me.
The Gelding Old Party is headed for the glue factory. It’s all smoke and mirrors. The collective GOP are feckless losers. Palin is an ember that needs a new home to start the fire that kills the deadwood called the GOP.
People have to run for office to win. Just the way it is.
at least for the moment
they are afraid to give her either title....Mrs. and Governor
(That's so y'all can say “in your dreams!” and I can say “yup, that's what I said...”
The first ballot is held. No one gains the requisite votes for nomination.
Our Lady of Wasilla gives a speech that wows the crowd. About half-way through, chants of “run, sarah, run” are heard under the applause.
About three-quarters of the way through, no applause is heard, because every pause is filled with “RUN, SARAH, RUN!”
She doesn't get to finish the speech— the text is later published in her Presidential Memoirs— because she can't get a word in with all the “RUN, SARAH, RUN!”
She steps away from the podium, and the MC gavels the place into some sort of order— at least to the point when the PA can be heard over the crowd. This takes 38 minutes. Two major networks cut away...
..and miss the part where the MC places the name of Sarah Heath Palin into nomination; the chairman of the Alaska delegation seconds, and the nomination is made “by acclamation.”
In my dreams... but I'll be waiting.
Remember last year around the time of the Iowa straw poll, all these polls were saying people did not want Palin to run or enter the race? It’s amazing how much Republican rank-and-file are swayed by the MSM. Even if they hate the MSM, they seem to believe that there are certain candidates the MSM can destroy and certain ones they can’t. But the only ones they can’t destroy in reality are ones where they haven’t tried yet. We wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in now if the average Republican voter wasn’t so ignorant of what we’re fighting and who the enemy is. We have to pick the best candidate and defend them, not constantly make sacrificial lambs out of every candidate the media tries to take the scalp of.
In all honesty, this poll didnt say that people wanted her to run now. They just view her in a good light. Romney got over 50 in the favorability, but that doesnt mean all those people are voting for him in the nomination or want him to run.
Count me in..
I have no idea where you are in MI, but if this comes close to reality, we need to find a bar with wings and beer and watch it on the big screen together and invite all our right wing lunatic friends...
Even after he praised TARP today?

Even if he gets the nomination, Romney is toast.
