After 16 years in politics when we look at Romney we cannot see any political leadership whatsoever, anywhere, at anytime, ever.
Palin has 17 years in politics and her fame and reputation comes from leadership, she has been a maverick and a king killer from the get go, it is her leadership that makes her the number one choice of republicans and especially conservative republicans.
Mitt's entire political career has been one big game, played against the people. I am for it now I am not is the ultimate game.
As far as Palin, some folks have an agenda, we hear her speeches, and they are full of the issues that surround her and her state and when need be the nation.
