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

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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

Palin is my choice for real grass roots conservatism.

"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?

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

We don’t need more political royalty mucking things up. Romney is just more of the same thing that got us where we are now.

Precisely the voters who like and elect Collins and Snowe.

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

Clearly.
