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.

Palin will crush Huck as well. It just a borometer but both were on a book tour at the same time. I know did realize Huck had a book out either read it some where same going for Newt. The Passion for Sarah is real not manufatuered one bit.

IMO, they see it from the inside out. For the players it’s a game, to achieve status in the pecking order ... endorsements and money. At this point they could care less about issues or voters.

But, if the Massachusetts Senate race taught the GOP anything, it taught them that moderate and liberal independents will break for a liberal Rino.

They won't break for the Rino if one or both houses of the congress are in Pub hands. The libs will go for bambi and the independents will. Romney might be a capable mgr, but he's not a visionary.

Lets hope you're wrong. It's still early.

“I’m a personhood pro-life, peace through strength, moral conservative, constitutionalist Reaganite. What exactly about that agenda do you find objectionable?”

If you were a Reaganite you wouldn’t be mischaracterizing a conservative like Palin.

Why are you stalking me?

Three posts in six months?

Bit sensative aren't we?

You feel a need to cry to teacher when you are offended?

Weak, Clementine, very weak.

"Two of the four LDS Senators voted for the last Amnesty"

There's four Mormon Senators? I count Bennett, Hatch and Reid. Who's the fourth?

I have my doubts that Sarah would accept the position after the last V.P. go around and plus she should distance herself from Romney. Sarah owes Romney nothing so she will not get a pass if she offers him her support.

humblegunner, you ARE stalking me and that is not a good thing. You have replied to more than three of my posts just today. You have made this personal. Why?

And piss on CPAC. Nothing but a RINO fest.

The only real conservatives at CPAC are Marco Rubio and 14 year old Jonathan Krohn.

I’d like to see Palin’s VP pick in order:

Pence
McDonnel VA
DeMint

Rubio is a little young, or I’d pick him 1

How can you not know why? I mean I can understand if you disagree.

But you really don’t know why? Puleeze.

You seem to feel a need to involve Jim.
Why is this? Can you not defend your position without
invoking authority? Is your position that weak?

I object to your tone, that of a n00bie lecturing us all
on the fact that we have congressmen. Do you think us that ignorant?

Cry for help all you wish.

We are not ignorant here, we realize the existance of congress.
