GOP Begins "Romney 2012" Campaign (with a little help from glad-to-help Liberals; take a read)
Vanity, et al | 2-19-10 | TitansAFC

Posted on 02/19/2010 2:40:09 PM PST by TitansAFC

And so it begins:

CPAC embraces the new Mitt Romney

South Carolina mulls 2012: Romney? Palin? Huck?
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/South-Carolina-mulls-2012_-Romney_-Palin_-Huck_-84732787.html

Romney now biggest threat to Obama head to head
http://hotair.com/archives/2010/02/18/ppp-poll-romney-now-biggest-threat-to-obama-head-to-head/

These are just a few examples from the last two days.

You'll also notice the (once again) packed straw poll at CPAC, and a sudden surge in Freepers attacking Sarah Palin at every turn.

It seems the push is already at full force. Mitt Romney is the guy to beat, like it or not (remember that McCain enjoyed -5% support at FR during the campaign), and the GOP is circling the wagons early this time.

Add to that several weekend columns out-of-nowhere attacking Sarah Palin again (George Will, Dorothy Rabinowitz, Kathleen Parker, et al).

let there be no doubt, the organized effort is afoot.

Newsflash - it's going to be an uphill grind for any Republican candidate in the media. The media “picked” McCain in ‘08 and then proceeded to trash him afer he had outlived his usefulness. They wanted a weak candidate to run against Obama.

Just look at how the media has concentrated on Sarah Palin versus John Edwards. Edwards is a lunatic and the media ignored and continues to virtually ignore Edwards’ massive character flaws - he is a complete mess. That being said, the media destroyed Romney too - I remember the bias, the articles, the way the commentators “decided” who won debates, etc. The entire dog and pony show of politics in this country is disgusting.

Obama and his administration have been sooo bad and have governed from so far left a position that it has frightened the American people - that is the only reason conservatives stand a chance in 2010 and 2012. I read several papers every day and the liberal press continues the lie.

I’ll vote for real conservatives up and down the ticket and write in Palin if Romney wins.

“That doesn’t make sense”

To a conservative it does.

You forgot Giuliani, who was supposed to be a shoe in. I agree, Romney will not be the nominee, he is done he just hasn’t admitted it yet.

Is that where they sell the magic underpants?

I hear that's where Romney gets his.

And then of course, there's always Romney #1!

“But weak-minded conservatives bought the relentless BS attacks on her in the media.”

I like Sarah Palin a lot. If she continues to endorse absolute trainwrecks for office (McCain, Rand Paul) I will have no choice but to decide that she does not have the judgement to be POTUS and look elsewhere.

The OP(formerly the GOP) keeps insisting on shooting itself in the foot by continually moving towards the left.

We will live or die with Palin in the GOP primaries. Other than Reagan no other conservative but Palin brings that type of zeal and commitment out of her supporters.

As I said earlier, conservatives felt that way about Reagan in 1980 and his campaign was almost toast going into NH. Don't underestimate the task ahead. There isn't near the unanimity among conservatives now as there was then.

Read Craig Shirley's book on Reagan's wilderness years and the 1980 campaign. The dejavu factor is eerie. :)

Ironic post, considering the fact that you were on another thread earlier helping to defend a pro-abortion socialist politician.

That’s when they invited all to come out for free pizza in VA to listen to the compelling ideas of Mitt Romney and a whopping 50 people showed up.

What if there isn’t a 2016 election???

I’m preparing my life and future for there not to be.

You know, that’s really distasteful. The Mormons I have known have been some of the kindest people I have ever run across. They really are true Americans and love this country dearly.

Also, from a social standpoint, they are probably the most socially conservative religious group in the country besides the Amish.

Change your tagline to

“I’m for Romney”

Because Palin is the only one who can defeat Romney.

Isn't it? A good friend of mine made that. I love irreverent senses of humor.

I won’t even honor that with a defense.

You on the other hand are a fringer wack job.
