Romney and his people have been taking shots at Sarah since 2008, as Diogenesis pointed out. Like most liberals, he clearly does not like her. Insulting her credibility in front of the GOP-e "moderate" Republican crowds as recently as this year:

Romney Wins over Donors by Warning of Huckabee-Palin Ticket at Convention
"Mitt Romney raised millions in March by warning would-be donors a brokered convention could mean a Palin-Huckabee or Huckabee-Palin ticket". [link]

Warning? Really? Does he know he would've never had a shot in hell at getting the nomination had Sarah ran, because we actually wanted her??

Tim Pawlenty.....and the Vanilla Twins will be off and running.

God have mercy on us.

In 2004 Edwards was invited to Bildberberg and got on the ticket with the poser Kerry (also back at Bilderberg this year) Daniels was probably the choice, but this time his attendance at Bilderberg is having a very negative effect.

It will be interesting to see if his attendance costs him the V.P. nod or the Bilderbergers put him on the ticket anyway ?

[Mountain Mary]

Amen, Diogenesis.

If he picks a liberal, like himself, (moderate is the lefts term for pro-abortion, pro-gay, but sometimes votes fiscally conservative) he will be giving every social conservative the bird. AGAIN. As terrible as obama is, at least doesn't assume people will vote for him. He reaches out to them and goes to their events, unlike romney who refused to go to a single pro-life/pro-family event. He keeps saying social conservative will vote for him. Is he trying to tick us off or is he stupid enough to believe we will act like democrats and vote for someone who uses us only for our vote? He can't and won't talk about the 50 million babies who were aborted & he is keeping a promise to the log cabin republicans that it will not be a democrat who gets gay marriage legalized across the nation, but a republican.

This article is crap. He will pick Martinez of New Mexico.

Never. she recently bashed Mittens for his "self-deportation" strategy for illegal aliens.

[Mountain Mary]

I wouldn’t(accept the VP slot) if I were her. She has more clout now than she would have as Romney’s VP. and she doesn’t seem like the type who can fake it if she doesn’t like someone, namely Mittens.

"Col. Allen West "

Yeah, that dude continues to kick butt and take names.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I think the old-retiring senator from AZ would be good. He wont be around in 2016. He’s conservative and likeable.

[Lazlo in PA]

Who cares who he picks. 1.9% GDP, 10.9% real unemployment, Dow crashing. Time to move on post haste. The country is sinking like a stone AGAIN.

[SuziQ]

Is it not obvious this piece was written to sow more division among conservative voters?

That was my first thought when I read this.

Babs "Clowngirl" Kellerman: "There has really been an evolution from 2008, a gradual recognition and nationwide acknowledgement of the reckless pick by the McCain campaign. Few defend it anymore – some may have in 2008 and 2009, even 2010, but not in the last year or two."

Hey, Babs - if McCain hadn't picked Palin, I wouldn't have bothered to show up to vote.

Got it, you ignorant slut?

[Art in Idaho]

I tend to agree with you, but if called, she's a country first person - she may feel it's her best shot to create a a rational energy policy - and to help Romney steer in the right direction. .

[onyx]

You’re exactly right.

[Mike Darancette]

Bammy will pick Hillary if he wants to have any chance to win.

[kalee]

Unless Romney picks her first. She is definitely the opposite of Palin. ;)

[tommix2]

She shouldn’t have her name soiled by association with Romney. The guy is dirt.Right

[Peter ODonnell]

So David Letterman is going to be vice president?

[personalaccts]

He needs Allen West...it’ll be game over

[DemforBush]

“I think her positive is her negative – she is still going to appeal to the really committed Tea Party supporters,” she [Joanne Bamberger] said to CBSDC. “But if you’re talking about the presidential race, Senate races, local races, whatever they are, the Tea Party is an uber-conservative, small minority of people voting.”

Ah, yes. Joanne Bamberger, the HuffPo contributor who claimed a few months back that all the GOP candidates were doomed, (DOOMED, I tell you!) because of Rush Limbaugh’s comments about Sandra Fluke.

As for Romney...he’d better realize just how many conservatives planning on voting for him are doing so with nose firmly held and are supporting him with great reluctance. If Mitt picks someone who is as squishy as he is on core issues, I think he’ll lose considerably more than he gains. No conservative will vote for Obama, but more than a few might just sit this one out.
