Romney/McCain adviser Castellanos, blaming Palin and her bad interviews for losing the election:

CASTELLANOS: But remember, guys, for a few brief minutes when Sarah Palin was actually the message of the campaign, when she represented the maverick part of the campaign, that’s when we were getting independents, we were getting women. Now, when she lost a lot of credibility with a couple of bad interviews...

BROWN: Right. Right.

CASTELLANOS: ... then, then she only became a base pick. But up for a little while, Republicans actually were tied and winning this election.

Palin has more political experience than Romney.

She did not abandon her state and waste taxpayer dollars pursuing other interests.

I will not vote for Romney no matter what.

And gee, here’s more Castellanos on Palin:

“Palin needs to demonstrate growth above all else, if she is capable. She needs to retire from the field, endure a period of introspection, and renew herself before she can attempt to return,” said Alex Castellanos, a GOP media consultant who most recently advised Mitt Romney during his 2008 presidential campaign. “Unless she retires from the field soon, the cement will set on the Sarah Palin we know now.”

Like it or not, Palin has chosen to quit politics.

Depending on her motives, I can respect her decision. But quitting half way through her first term as governor pretty much ends much chance of a National office.

And no, I don't like that. I would have voted for her.
