I'd never heard of this Huntsman character until recently. I've heard of Hunter.

Once again, behind every attack on Gov. Palin is Team Romney.

"Ex-McCain aide says he's still loyal
Weaver...provided the critical, on-the-record foundation for stories denigrating (Senator McCain)
After The New York Times published a story Thursday suggesting that John McCain had
an improper relationship with lobbyist Vicki Iseman, his campaign took to the airwaves to trash the story
... Weaver said that when the Times confronted him in December
with details of his meeting with Iseman, he felt compelled to corroborate the story.
Weaver vigorously maintains that he is loyal to McCain. (but note)
... the campaign brought Weaver in just last week to help broker Mitt Romney’s endorsement."


"8. The person who has the clearest chapter-and-verse hold on Mitt Romney's past statements and actions on abortion, gay rights, and other hot button issues is
a. A Boston Globe reporter.
b. John Weaver.
c. Mitt Romney.
d. A DNC oppo researcher.."


"Romney would not say whether he’d been vetted,
but did insist that the vice presidency was a subject he had never even so much discussed with McCain,
with whom he often tangled bitterly in the primary campaign.
So I tried another tack, recalling that I had been in a car with McCain and his then aide John Weaver,
reporting a piece for V.F. in the fall of 2006,
just after McCain delivered an address at Boston College’s opening convocation.
Weaver’s phone rang, and it was someone at B.C.,
informing him that Romney’s office had just called to ask when he would be invited to speak."


"Texan helped McCain secure Romney endorsement
AUSTIN – The decision by Mitt Romney to endorse John McCain didn't just happen, of course. It took a Texan who knows something about uniting fierce political rivals.
John Weaver, Mr. McCain's former political guru, was the intermediary who initiated talks between the two sides that led to Mr. Romney's announcement of support.
...Here's how the two came to make a joint appearance Thursday in Boston: Last week, Mr. Weaver got a call from McCain aides Charlie Black and Steve Schmidt, who asked if he would help broker an endorsement.
Mr. Weaver, who had left the McCain campaign in last year's shakeup, is a longtime friend of Beth Myers, Mr. Romney's campaign manager.."

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"


Poor sport spoiler Romney attacks other GOP candidatesn:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson
."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

[Romney: A Mistake for McCain, 7/23/2008, Dick Morris]

"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
 which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."

--  President Ronald Reagan


"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""

--  President Ronald Reagan

...so “doom” isn’t being out of the White House and the Congress.

“Doom” is just having conservatives run the place?

“If it’s 2012 and our party is defined by Palin and Limbaugh and Cheney, then we’re headed for a blowout,” says strategist John Weaver, who advised Huntsman and was for years a close adviser to Sen. John McCain. “That’s just the truth.”

Why should we believe Weaver?  After all, he is a loser who advised a loser like McCain. If his instincts were better, McCain would be president now, and Obama wouldn't have nominated Huntsman to be ambassador to China.

I read this as the RINO’s, who do not like or represent US, don't like Conservatives, and they are scared to death of Palin, Limbaugh, AND Cheney!! That is why they are working so hard to undermine our conservative values. That is why they are working so hard with the media, trying to convinced as many folks as possible that they should take the lead.

I don't buy it. Their fear is showing. They know the conservative message sells!

“If it’s 2012 and our party is defined by Palin and Limbaugh and Cheney, then we’re headed for a landslide,”

There fixed it for him.

Deja BS ... The GOP will be a permanent minority party if Reagan is the nominee. Reagan is another Goldwater. Reagan is an extremist who terrifies the moderates and scares old people. And so on and so on.
