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.

Unfortunately, as we are seeing quite clearly, he is the odds-on guy

If he's the GOP's odds-on guy, Obamanation will get a second term. Is there any wonder they're called The Stupid Party?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Is the GOP going to give it to the Socialist again?

If it is RINO Romney then yes.

Romney as the nominee will lose to Obama worse than McCain did. I guess the RINOs would rather that than have a Conservative at the top of the ticket again.

Mitt Romney WILL BE the next Republican candidate.

It is His Turn.

He will lose and it will be the last actual presidential contest for Republicans. A Third Party cannot win. The Democrats can be beaten in the Presidential election only if the Republican Party is totally replaced by another party this year or the next in the way that the Republicans replaced the Whigs.

By 2016 Amnesty will be a fact and the numbers will no longer be there for any other party than the Democrats until the "Hispanics" ultimately break away and form a Mexican National Party. By 2016 ACORN and SIEUS in some other guise will control election "security."

To all of the broken-glass "conservatives" that will berate us night and day for going against conventional wisdom and not supporting whatever RINO gets shoved down our throat:

If we control the House and Senate we can make TOTUS a lame-duck his entire 2nd term.

And why are they increasing the attacks as of right now? because of her speech at the Tea Party Convention and her interview with Chris Wallace, no one disagreed or disputed the speech and even MSNBC right after it only said that “she was a merchant of hate with a smile”

LOLOLOL @ Jim Robinso

That's the spirt!

It would really be interesting to learn the identities of Republican conservatives whom Governor Palin would be genuinely interested in running with.

"Unfortunately, as we are seeing quite clearly, he is the odds-on guy."

Meaningless. If it wasn't, we'd have President Hilary Clinton, President Dean, President Paul Tsongas, President Gary Heart and probably dozens more. Being the front-runner this far out is virtually the kiss of death in politics.

What a load of horsesh**. Even if there were a "new" Romney, I sure as hell wouldn't trust him, or waste my vote on him.

You read my mind.

The American public isn’t interested in Romney, and the press has been so incidious for so long, that they’ll go FOR the victim of their nasty attacks; while Governor Palin is soaring in popularity, the MSM is not.

If it’s Romney in 2012, then the only handle I’ll be pulling on Nov 7 will the one on my Hornady reloader.
