She’s right, you hvae to earn it, although the Republicans do tend to nominate the next person in line. That’s how McCain got it.
She’s being prudent by not attackign Romney. Assuming that they both run in 2012, I’m sure that she’ll have plenty to say about him. But she’s not going to go after him. If he’s nominated, Republicans will have to unify aroud him.
Republicans may, conservatives won’t.
