How many "Rockefeller" or "country club" Republicans are left? Didn't a lot of them go over to Obama in 2008?

[econjack]

An awful lot of baggage for both of them. I've heard a rumor that Mitch Daniels (governor of Indiana) may make a run. I sure hope so, as he has totally turned this state around. Lots of experience in the finance area...served under Reagan and guided a lot of his budget policies.

Mitt Romney is not qualified to be dog catcher,
and probably is not even eligible.

[mad puppy]

“As the current field stands, Romney remains the most viable alternative to Palin.”

First of all, that is pathetic. Where the h#ll is conservative leadership?

Second, if true, I will vote Sarah.

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

[blueplum]

comments coming from Romney camp sound mysteriously like the anonymous slurs being quoted during the campaign.

Romney is too ‘New England’

Sarah, well, she's the poet of our hearts

I don’t know, you would have to ask McCain that question. I generally ignore manufactured cat fights published by WAPO. Remember, Halprins employer is only qualified to explore the meaning of MACACA. Consider the source.

“Romney praises Obama again
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

Mitch Daniels is one of those “moderate”, Rockefeller republicans we are talking about, no thanks.

[hinckley buzzard]

His runner-up finish in 2008 has given him front-runner status for 2012

Romney was "runner up?" I thought he dropped out with like zero support after spending fifty million dollars.

[cowboyway]

Romney is just another Ivey League member of the ‘ruling class’.

Palin is my choice for real grass roots conservatism.

[Diogenesis]

Team Romney serves Obama, and served Americans RomneyCARE.

"One of the traditional methods of imposing statism
or socialism on people has been by way of medicine..."
President Ronald Reagan

Death Panels imposed by Mitt Romney (ObamaCARE=RomneyCARE).

[ansel12]

"Ideologically, Romney’s candidacy would garner the support of the prototypical northeastern, moderate Republican, a group more open to a campaign embedded in political pragmatism rather than ideological crusade.

Palin’s candidacy would attract those who favor a wholesale and voluminous rejection of the Obama agenda, decrying any hint of bipartisan squeamishness."

Mitt Romney: "I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush."

Mitt Romney: "I'm not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses."

“the divide between “wine track” and “beer track” Republicans, a comparison between Republicans who are college-educated and economically wealthy, the wine trackers, and the more blue-collar, working class, the beer trackers.”

Donkey donuts. It’s liberal vs conservative. The article indulges in a bit of class warfare hree, wonder which the author is?

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

As the political calendar inches closer towards 2012, Romney and Palin may quickly become more foes than friends.

Erm excuse me, but right from the beginning this article is suspect.

Listing Romney as a 2008 presidential candidate ... and Palin as a former Alaska governor ... IMMEDIATELY makes Palin the lesser.

Balanced journalism would be either to list them BOTH as former governors ... or to list both of their participation in the 2008 elections.

As stated, it makes it sound like Palin sat out the 2008 election.

And I don’t get how Romney is the “next in line” because of his participation in the 2008 PRIMARY.

And yet Palin is never listed as the “next in line” because of her participation in the 2008 GENERAL ELECTION.

Absolutely, DBrow.

Erm, Mr. Article Author person, Palin is college educated in case you don’t know. State universities are colleges, too.

[TexasCajun]

I hate Romney and his goons !!

MeCain/Graham-like Romney better call off his attack dogs!!

[NavyCanDo]

I tried to like Romney, I really did. But he never impressed me during the debates. Besides the youthful good looks, he had terrible answers. Case in point was at the Iowa debate, the famous - show of hands if you believe Global Climate Change is a serious threat and caused by human activity” question.

Romney was the first hand to go up, before Fred Thompson saved his but with his were not playing hands here response.

Mr. Obama or Secretary Clinton (whichever is the Dem nominee) are praying for a white male to run against.
