Romney is the closest thing there is in today's GOP politics to another George H.W. Bush. Like Bush, he was born into a family of status and privilege and entered politics as a moderate, establishment Republican; the Romney who ran for Senate in Massachusetts in 1994 sounded fairly similar to the the Bush who ran for president in 1980.

That pretty much sums it up better than anything I've seen written on the topic.

Much to the chagrin of one extreme that sees Mitt as the second coming of Ronald Reagan and the other extreme that sees him as the devil himself.

“I think the majority of Americans don’t want to put up with the blue bloods,”

I just love the way Sarah cuts to the chase and kneecaps little old harmless ladies like Babs Bush. I hope she runs.

You mean a little old harmless lady who had just yielded a switchblade? Babs hasn't said anything intelligent since she correctly described Hillary.

Michael Medved seemed to have kicked off his official Mitt Romney in 2012 campaign today, which naturally involved a selling of the Mormon religion at the same time, his anti-Palin campaign has been running for a long time.

Romney support will necessarily, often involve the selling of Mormonism to Christian Republicans it seems, so this primary effort by Romney will be harmful, in way that no other candidate’s campaign has ever been.

I think it’s funny that SP trashes the blue bloods considering: “Sarah Palin is upper echelon when it comes to descent from the nation’s colonial era founding families in New England.”

Myth will give you red..unless you want blue...then he’ll give you red/blue until he figures out what you really want. Purple? Can do. Orange? Comin’ right up. I love Crist. Green? Let me check...got it. Black? Sure, I love the night. White? Yeah, but don’t be too racist. Pink? Oh, yeah, baby.

That comment by Palin was a touch of genius, putting a shot over the bows of not only the Bush family but the Pubbie establishment.

They can be marginalized as the ‘blue blood’ elites against the average guy Republicans from now on. I don’t know if Palin is the ONe, but she put her finger on a political sore spot with aplomb. That shows guts and political acumen from someone.

In the past conservatives have often given “moderates” the benefit of the doubt.

Those days are done for two reasons. First, we’ve been burnt. And second, there is a lot less room for error now; we are too close to the buzz saw. Compromise got us here and we don’t have that luxury anymore.

When you compromise with someone who is going the wrong direction, you don’t wind up in “sort-of” the right place; you wind up in the wrong place at a slower pace. We are in the wrong place and our time is running out.

The Harvard/Yale boys who have been ruling America since Jan. 1989 have wrecked this country and gotten us $15 trillion in debt.

How could Palin do worse?

I’ll add a 3rd reason. We’ve shown we can WIN with real, solid conservatives. We don’t have to settle for old establishment RINOs.
