Mitt Romney & Sarah Palin Must Work Together

At this time the two leading contenders for the Republican nomination in 2012 are Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin. Both possess virtues head and shoulders above all other Republican candidates, and both can easily restore the respectability of the Republican Party. So why not run both on the same ticket?

So why not run both on the same ticket?

Isn't it a bit early to be proposing a grand compromise or unity ticket?

My appraisal is that by 2012 Mitt Romney will not be a factor at all, and will NOT be offered the second spot on the ticket by whoever is the nominee.

This must be Romney's new tack for the week....he's apparently realized that Sarah Palin is not going to fade away, and based on the polling that came out yesterday, has decided that maybe he can co-opt her and us into his own campaign, with him at the head, of course.

Phooey!

But don't Republicans want a candidate who the media is not going to attempt to cut to pieces?" No! "Safe with the media" equals "worthless," and Republicans, of all people, should know that by now. Now those are good lines ... one I wouldn't have been surprised Rush saying.

I couldn’t agree more. What’s better is that I don’t even care who is President or who is Vice President. Either candidate would do a good job in either position. I’m am so sick of the Mitt and Sarah bashing on this site I could scream. Look all of you “Goldilocks” wannabees....there is no candidate that is “just right”. All will have some shortcoming that the press will exploit. Rush has said before that we will never find the media liking our candidate, so quit trying to find one that’s so perfect!

The only drawback to a Mitt/Sarah ticket?.....The press would have a glorious time with the Barbie and Ken jokes....no thanks.

Apparently this guy doesn't realize that a lot of the attacks on Palin originate with Romney supporters within the media, GOP/RNC.

That, and the fact that Sarah Palin has spoken out about outsouring American energy, production, and jobs, while Mitt made his millions by destroying American jobs.

Willard Brutus Romney cowardly attacked Gov. Palin and her children.
Mitt should be ostracized.

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin's bid for the White House,
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin.
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
He's in charge on November 5th.'"
The Prowler added: "Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Romney supporters in the McCain campaign had access to internal polling which indicated well in advance of the November 4 election that McCain had no chance to win.
So they began working to position their man Mitt for a run in 2012. Just two days after the election,The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
These aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"Here’s what I think: I think there are some staffers on the McCain campaign who seriously screwed up the roll out of Sarah Palin, to which Governor Palin herself objected.
These staffers are now out trying to finish her off thinking, as typical D.C. types do, that if they don’t do it to her, she’ll do it to them. They just never understood who Palin is or what she is about."
"Likewise, I do think there are some staffers and others who expect Mitt Romney to run again in 2012,
they decided McCain could not win, and decided to undermine Sarah Palin and her chances hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign? (Mark Wallace, Romney pimp)
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

"the one thing above all else that the political left cannot allow to survive, and must attack to destroy ... is true heroism."

I totally disagree.

"the one thing above all else that the political left cannot allow to survive, and must attack to destroy ... is" TRUTH.

And from the defense of TRUTH comes "true heroism."

There are piles of Blue Dog Democrats with way less lefty/socialist/big government voting records than Mitt.

His dad was a lib. His mom a lib. He said he was more lib than Fat Boy Kennedy.

He was for taxpayer bailout of his Utah hack friends and supporter. He was the first for 20 billion dollar Detroit bailout. He did Hillary/Obama/Romney ‘Care’ in Massachusetts.

Yeah. He’s a conservative.

Not.
