The best thing Governor Palin has been able to say about Romney is that he isn't Obama. But she didn't stop there. She has repeatedly said that the only way a Romney presidency is success is if there is a very conservative congress keeping him in line.

EXACTLY!

We may need to add on that extra insurance policy that he coud get Nadered from the right if he gets out of hand. And there can be no secret about it. It won't work if it's a secret. The mere threat could keep him in line.

The last thing I want to see reported is: "Sarah Palin went kicking and screaming and begging to be at the convention and finally Governor Romney decided to give her a slot".

Sorry. Sarah Palin and Conservatism is much better than that. I'm at the point already where I don't want her to speak there. She should have been the first choice. The fact that she was not is telling enough.

Palin has done much more for the Republican Party than Romney could ever think of doing. And for the Conservative movement, no comparison.

Better that Palin is not seen as part of this campaign or administration. She will be more valuable to us staying outside with the whip.

Agree for the long run, but in the meantime, Romney may need to bring a rock-ribbed conservative like Paul Ryan on the ticket to send a strong message about what kind of agenda he will have - else there may not be a Romney adminstration.
