Mitt still hasn’t invited Sarah to the GOP’s nomination assembly in Tampa

That's almost the dumbest thing he could do, other than pour gasoline on himself and ask for a match.

Pretty much. But if he wants to ‘send a message’ that the conservative base is meaningless to his grand design, that’s the way to do it without outright saying so.

Even if she didn’t ask for or get named to the position, Palin is still the ‘figurehead’ for many people in flyover country. No, not everyone, but a “lot” of us. And Romney knows that a slap in her face is a direct slap in ours.

I guess I learned something...

I ALMOST popped a cork on this post too.

I read...Inviting Palin,That’s almost the dumbest thing he could do, other than pour gasoline on himself and ask for a match.

Gotta slow down a bit.

Romney can't break out of the tie with Obama because conservatives don't really trust the guy. Only THEY can give him the surge he needs. But Romney is out searching for the Unicorn Moderates.

Palin has been willing to work with the guy, but she won't kiss his ass, and that's what he hates.

Palin is willing to forego the RNC to maintain her integrity, and I say "good for her".

This report, imho, was set up by Palin as a warning to the Romney people, partly to cut out the relentless dissing of her, partly to tell Romney that what he is doing is STUPID.

Watch the Bushie / Romney apparatus come out of the woodwork over the next couple of days to discount what Palin is trying to do for Romney.

Best,

Chris
