Yep. And he showed us that and even told us that.

Men don’t get as worked up over an attractive woman as women do over good-looking men. Didn’t you ever hear Rush talk about the “arousal gap”?

Here we go again. This is exactly the kind of juvenile whining that guaranteed the GOP loss this year.

Ahhh, I don't think so.

Have you seen the multitude and multitude of posts by men on Ms. Palin’s looks? I have.

Thanks. I tend to agree but didn't want to jump off of the deep end without any proof.

My hunch is that McCain has his fingers in this too as it fits his MO.

We'll see what unfolds hee soon.

Well, I just don’t think enough men would have voted for McCain because they thought Palin was pretty, but women might vote for Romney because they’re turned on by him. There are a lot of dumb Democrat women out there who don’t have too many brain cells to rub together.... it could give us an edge anyway, but no, Romney is not the best person to be representing conservative principles.

Oh, I think you know I’m not Kathleen. I’m just one of the 33% who back Mitt Romney as the GOP leader.

I agree! If Tom Coburn or Ted Poe or Jeff Sessions or Jim DeMint (for examples) would run I’d personally love it! Will they run? Can they win?

While this country is still slightly center-right, It’s further lef than it was 20 years ago, no question. Who is the best messenger? I don’t know. But, IMO, the messenger needs to be someone who can talk economics, first and foremost.

"Well, Romney is handsome, and he can appeal to the dumb women who were turned on by Bill Clinton, and I guess now Barack Obama........"

It's all about how the markets want to present you and the markets won't present you unless you graduated from Harvard or Yale. Never mind if your daddy bought the place for you or you were recommended by rich terrorist...nothing a teleprompter can't fix.

Come on people, put two and two together...Romney will be shoved down our throats for the next four years and Palin will get all the snotty elitist scorn that money can buy.

Does this mean anything to anyone here?:

That instead of roughly 5% of the GOP staying home, 67% of the GOP would stay home.

Not a chance, money or not. The current crop of phony Republicans will be tarred and feathered by the time 2012 comes around. They will have no chance. We will have a hard-edged candidate in 2012, the country will be demanding one. And ‘politicians’ like Romney, those who have sold out along the way to get along with the left will get blown away.

Of course it means something...Romney, like McCain from 2000, is the defacto candidate for 2012. Republicans are like that, with the “it’s your turn” mentality...also, because of Palin’s huge national negatives, she’s going to be lumped in with Huckleberry as the “Socon candidate” for now...she’ll have to work at expanding her base in the party to have a shot...magritte

No Romney.
People need to realize that moderate’s are our problem, not our solution.

Well, then stay home and lose. That number of 67% is not realistic at all.

And why pray tell does Palin have negatives? Why... the leftist MSM of course!.

I believe most people around here would call that a net plus for Palin.

Dear Las Vegas Ron,

A few folks in the conservative media have actually traced some of the anti-Palin smears back to senior McCain folks (I remember seeing something to this effect on the Corner), but I don't know whether these folks are just trying to deflect the blame from themselves, or whether it comes from McCain, himself.

However, the stuff from the Fraudney camp wouldn't make any sense if it didn't come from Fraudney, himself. The McCain staffers need a scapegoat to blame for their own incompetence. The Fraudney folks don't have a similar need.
