Have been thinking about the topic of victory...
Romney.
Yes. That's not entirely random thoughts, joined together.
Already months ahead of even winning the GOP nomination, Mitt Romney has continued to WIN, each contest he has faced.
That long ago made this long-time Palin supporter, somewhat hostile.
Let's remember the year 2008. The Democrat nominee was Obama. The Democrat nominee was McCain.
(sorry, not a typo)
McCain in a single moment of having one brain cell, decided on the astoundingly successful governor of Alaska as his running mate.
That moment, was electrifying.
Palin fascinated the GOP, and inspired us all. We fell in ... SUPPORT.
We had been waiting since Ronald Reagan himself, to hear such simple truth.
We immediately recognized good.
Great even.
Wait, did this start as a Romney thread?...
Remember what happened, when Palin was introduced by John McCain to America?
Actually, two things:
1) Liberals IMMEDIATELY recognized her as an existential threat to everything they say.
Unfortunately also,
2) Mitt Romney even quicker, recognized she would prevent him from becoming president.
Yes. I believe Mitt Romney sabotaged Palin, and cost the GOP the election in 2008.
There, I said it.
My anti-Romney cred established, he seems about to win the nomination.
By being: ruthless.
It's time to admit Romney is a formidable competitor. But it's also still time to stand and fight.
I'm standing to say, Romney, having accomplished what he set out to do, having infuriated so many of us in the process.
Should now do the right thing, and bring Palin on board as his Vice President.
No.
Yes.
Maybe
How ‘bout “Sheriff Joe” for VEEP?
That would be a Head Turner!

Sealed or scrubbed...with the rest of his records.
“Maybe” works. I second.
So far recently we’ve heard Marco Rubio (who I like) mentioned, but then in seeming flashback to Bush administration stupidity, continuing to hammer amnesty under another name.
Then (unbelievably) Huckabee. UGH NO.
Today Jindal. At least we’re making progress.
Romney needs to understand a lot of us out here in America understand competition. We recognize that winning, means making someone else lose.
No problem.
But it’s important to shake the hand of the ONE who actually was your competition.
Mr. Romney do the right thing.
Palin would energize even those, who loathe you right now.
Yes. Loathe.
Consider Palin.
There’s a reason, you went after her first.
She’s formidable.
And a whole lot of us out here, support her.
Don’t want to see Sarah Palin associated with an A-Hole like Romney. It was bad enough with McPain.
It will never happen.
Palin made it clear numerous times that she’ll never be a running mate again. Frankly, being McCain’s running mate is shameful enough. Do you want to saddle her with Romney’s coat tails too? Sarah is smarter than that even if you’re not.
I have never claimed to be smart.
Just riled up. :D
no way. Mitt Romney supporters would be undermining Palin from within like with Mccain camp. Mitt Romney have surrounded himself with too many leftists/establishment types who like the status quo and they all hate Palin more than they hate Obama
I was being a smart ass, but I agree with your analysis.
I don’t think she would accept, nor would it be offered, but the potential impact would be similar to 2008, and being “older and wiser” she would only accept if she had a completely free hand to do it her way (which is why I says Mitt would never make the offer). But if he were in deep trouble and losing the conservative base, what better VP candidate to secure it?
Palin might accept if she’d got her aim set on 2016 or 2020, as she’d still be young (mid 50s) enough and having served as VP would be a means to prove herself (although there aren’t many examples of VP stepping into the big chair). So “maybe” isn’t such a bad answer I guess.
You summed it up.
Good grief.
Why on earth would anybody think Palin would agree to take a second shot at second fiddle?
It's embarrassing.
LOL that guy rocks! :D
He exemplifies everything funny about FR.
For Palin threads, someone should photoshop him into a Nanook of the North fur-lined hoodie.
I suggest you stand well out of Sarah’s reach when you propose this to her, I don’t want her bruising her knuckles.
Utter horsesh1t.
Gawd, I get so sick and tired of people flogging this dead argument.
Sarah Palin’s done. That was 4 years ago.
Get over it.
