Let’s hope he doesn’t run. He won’t even, as far as I know, defend his church at this hour of need. Just the guy I want running the country.

[Red Badger]

What would he run on?

“Elect another rich white guy?”...................

[ConservativeMind]

He could make a good Vice President.

I’m all for Palin starting her Presidential campaign now. I’d give her $100 a month for the next four years.

[Tennessee Nana]

BTTT

[Lysandru]

How can this be? Don't we all know that Palin was a drag on the ticket?

[so_real]

Palinmania may stop Romney from running in 2012 ... certainly hope so ... we're looking for *true* conservatives next time around

[Vaquero]

he is a freakin’ RINO.

[MeanWestTexan]

Thank G-d!

There has already been one remake of “Willard” and his rat friends.

Why have a second remake of Willard?

[Mr. Mojo]

We can only hope. Obama would beat Romney as handily as Clinton beat Dole. ....or Obama beat McCain. First of all his conservative creds are suspect, at best; secondly he has ZERO charisma. Losing combo.

2012 is a long shot for us with the media in the tank for Hussein. Look for the Dems to field a new star at the 2012 convention. IMHO if they can’t come up with a star female candidate by then it’s all Sarah’s in 2016 (or ‘12). I don’t think America will put a white guy in for a couple more cycles now.

I'm starting it now, and sticking with it:

The time of mourning is over. Sanford/Palin in 2012.

[Onelifetogive]

4 days is a long time in politics, 4 years is almost forever!

They have different liabilities:

Romney’s was his relative liberalism on social issues — or, at least, his very-late-in-life (professed) change of heart about those issues.

Palin’s was her relative difficulty handling tough, sometimes frankly unfair, questions from the media. (Yes, I know she got several beanballs thrown her way, but so do all conservatives, particularly if they’re minorities or women.)

Palin’s advantage is that she can overcome HER liability, but Mitt, for all his great gifts, can never run away from his rather liberal policy stances in the 1990s. (I’d rather have Mitt as President than Obama, of course!!)

[Beagle8U]

Good! Mutt Romney can go to the ash heap of RINO losers!

[ReagansRaiders]

From the Arbinder article:

“Fine with us. Let her be the sacrificial lamb for 2012.”

That’s what they said about Bill Clinton in 1992 when Bush 41 had a 92 percent approval rating...

[Zhang Fei]

I think Romney/Palin in 2012 might work. I like Palin, but McCain has ruined her image among anyone other than hard core conservatives, due to his insistence on having her face hostile audiences, while being outspent 8 to 1. (What he never understood was that the media was wary of being too hostile to him because of his war hero and POW status. Palin was a different matter. The media really unloaded on her. With thermonuclear devices). If Romney wins and gets 2 terms, that will bring Palin into her mid-fifties by the time she gets to run again for president - still relatively young.

[orchestra]

No Romney- period!
