“You clearly say above that if Palin doesn’t run for president then we are stuck with Romney as candidate, possibly as president.”
My opinion is that Romney is the frontrunner and will win the GOP nomination. He has the Primary set up for a RINO, he has money, organization and huge establishment support.
Nobody is going to beat him because conservatives are divided and the conservative with the most support and chance to knock of Romney is Palin.
Those who incessantly attack Palin can do what they wish...but they won’t be crying about Romney without alot of input from me to remind them that they get an assist.
Hey, maybe I’m wrong in my assessment. Nah. watch.
I cant disagree with your first argument above (the McCain selection really got me upset) and at the same time I have no crystal ball so I can not make an absolute prediction right now about 2012.
But if Romney is certain to get it anyway(like McCain in 2008) , then why the fuss about a few Palin critics. Your argument makes Palin critics completely irrelevant after November, if not before. Yet there is a huge effort being made by many to marginalize them(the poster of this thread wants them banned) . That makes them look important, you know, like threats to something.
BTW: Of those that get mad at the Palin-critics, few post that palin cant win it against Romney, in fact most post the opposite.
