McCains staff is not going to say McCain was responsible. Obviously, their not responsible, because they need to find a new host to latch on to. So, who's left?

the obvious answer is the DC “staffer class” are not friends to those outside of the beltway country club.
In their eys the blue zones rule, the red zones serf.
This election re-emphasised something that some (me included) forgot: IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID!!!!!!
I didn’t think Bush I would have lost to Clinton. He did. I really thought Palin/McCain were going to put it out; they didn’t. McCain would have really only managed a Jimmy Carter like 5-8 states without Gov. Palin. However, I still maintain she’s been Quayled. However, I don’t think the attacks are from the Romney camp. Until it can be proven I will not accept it is from Romney.
Which brings me back to IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID!!!!!! To defeat the Dems, we must do what must be done. If that means going with a Romney as a person with an economic background, so be it.
Neither Ronald Reagan or many of the people who voted for him are on this planet any more. It sucks to admit it, but that is the reality. The Republican Party must change if it is going to be relevant again. Otherwise, it will go the way of the Whigs and Federalists.
and I said I would never vote or volulteer for Mccain.
Of couse it was ENTIRELY the fault of Palin...

Unless the GOP becomes a party of real conservatives, I am not interested.
The old guard has to go NOW.
Just say no to Northeastern liberals for the GOP nomination.
Mitt Romney won’t even see the light of day in 2012. By that point, with all that will happen between now and then, a lightweight, ‘get-along’ soft, quasi-’conservative’ like Romney will be dismissed in a heartbeat.
“He has solid support among the conservative base, though he struggled to connect with some religious conservatives because of his Mormon faith.”
Pure Utter BS!
He is a liberal puke that only the Rocky-Feller wing can stand. The other 60% of the base hate his liberal guts.
I am not sure Governor Palin has been Quayled. She drew huge crowds to hear her speeches. She could be a great resource for the Republicans in the next few years. Watch her help with fund raising and help elect Republicans in 2010. Quayle was never able to that after the 1992 defeat.
Warren Buffet, the socialist, has shown more moral and ethical understanding and criticism of American corporate values, such as they are, then Mitt ever has.
Mitt has been an corporate/financial wimp, doormat, silent.
Now was it political philosophy ignorance? Did he see and know and not speak out?
He's toast.
No Romney, he is a divider, not a uniter for conservatives.
His support of the Socialist Bailout Bill should be the killer for all thinking conservatives.
“Romney? An other faux Republican for 2012? Now I’m REALLY depressed.”
Here we go again. This is exactly the kind of juvenile whining that guaranteed the GOP loss this year.
Go away Mitt... go away all the RINOS.... WE ARE REBUILDING FROM GROUND UP!!!!!!!!!
Puke. No more white men retreads! And I’m not so sure it should be Palin. But Romney is just a little too smooth, too coifed, and overexposed already on TV. Go somewhere else. You can find a good candidate by their current deeds and their record. Romney is over.
Great idea!!! Let’s nominate another outsourcing, open-borders, job-killing, globalist RINO, and see if we can lose with 20%, or 10%, or maybe 5%.
You said it first...and I agree.
The GOP cannot win with a Globalist liberal...havent we learned anything from McCain? Economic liberalism is a sure loser
The Obamaniacs will immediately label Romney as “Bush” and its over. The conservative base will be leery of his past liberalism
Sarah can mobilize the base...which most GOP candidates fail to do. Also, giving Sarah more than 2 months to have an impact will be a big help
I would have voted for Mitt if he’d been the nominee this time, but he seemed to be absent all during the campaign when McCain could have used his help.
I there any proof of that yet or is it just speculation?
I'm asking because I'd like to know.
