(DON'T BLAME ME I VOTED FOR "PALIN"!)
To: SeekAndFind
The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++8 to 10 pts. in some polls, days prior to the election.
So rather than helping the GOP, poor loser I am Myth Romney and
TeamROMNEY decided
to attack Gov. Palin (and her defenseless children) to throw Election2008. "Frum was indeed a critic of Palin, calling her nomination a "huge mistake" during an October 13 (2008, weeks before the election) Early Show appearance."
David Frum: "Two of our most plausible candidates for president in 2012 are leading Mormons: Mitt Romney and Utah governor Jon Huntsman."
David Frum: "I have a lot of regard for Mitt Romney as a man and politician
I will support him without qualm."
Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off
.hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the Diva leak was Nicolle Wallaces husband."
Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney
"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?"

Why Huckabee? Why the appeal? I don’t get it!
To: SeekAndFind
A year before the 2008 elections the polls all showed it was Clinton vrs Guliani in a slug fest. McCain was dead last and no one even knew who Barack Hussein Obama was.
What happened in the primaries?
Polling this question 3 years in advance is pure idiotic spin.

America needs a President who is a strong Christian leader. Huckabee is the man. He can use the power of the Presidency to preserve America’s Christian values that the Founders envisioned.

Huckabee seems like a nice guy but I would not vote for him. The R’s need to come up with some new blood.
Here’s what I get from people:
They are more willing to vote democrat because of the housing and unemployment situation and more for the people.
Republicans are more pro-business.....
That is what I hear and it makes for interesting discussions with people.

Polling 3 years out is nothing but Name Recognition. Most people recognize Huck’s name because he is all over Fox news. That all it means. Name Recognition

It's called TEEVEE. Why do you think he started his own show on FOX ? He wants to come out as an "aww shucks", Jimmy Stewart sort of -- Mr. Smith Goes to Washington -- fella, and a lot of people are buying it.
Sure, he's a cultural/social conservative, he's also likable and that's why people can relate to him.
Unfortunately, other than his support for the simplification of taxes, he's not really a conservative fiscally.
To: MNJohnnie
You think Huckabee has more name recognition than Palin?

Wrong. The Founder specifically wrote into the Constitution a prohibition of a religious test for office seekers.
Please tell me where in the US Constitution you find any support for Huckabee proposed nation wide smoking ban?

Enough of the polls of adults in San Francisco...
How about something more representative of America as a whole, such as MSNBC? /sarc>
Cheers!

These articles are completely meaningless. 2012 is far away and we haven't even gotten through mid-term.....that is IF, and that is a huge if btw, we even make it to 2010. These articles are simply an effort to distract.....Hell we're only in the 2nd inning right now.

other than his support for the simplification of taxes I thought he supported the nationial sales tax boondoggle, which doesn't seem like a simplified or desirable plan at all.

I just posted this on another post:
“Is it fall 2011 already? Oh, its not? Ill wait and see what happens when it is. This old guy will support her (Palin), I see the pioneer spirit in her, she is what America was all about. She didnt quit, she is just attacking in another direction, in the words of the Marines at Chosin.
I sense this woman is studying her battle plans, getting ready for the main attack. I would expect that of her, she isnt as stupid as the MSM want you to believe.”
Huckabee, Romney, the NYT dream team!!

Yes, at this time because Palin has been pretty much off the political scene while Huck is working the political circuit, talk radio and fox news. let see how this changes after Palin’s book comes out

We’re going to lose the 2012’s due to RINOs.
