Conservative superstar Sarah Palin opened the door yesterday to joining forces with Mitt Romney for a 2012 White House run - a hot ticket that has some Republicans licking their chops at the prospect of unseating President Obama.
“Sounds pretty good,” Palin declared at yesterday’s Tea Party Express rally on the Common when asked about pairing up with the former Bay State governor - giving the idea a big thumbs-up as she left the stage after her headline speech.
Last night, as Palin stopped for cannoli at Mike’s Pastry in the North End, she said she was “serious” about the idea.
“I have a lot of respect for Mitt,” she told the Herald.
Asked who would be on top of the ticket, Palin roared, “Ha! I haven’t even thought that far ahead yet.”
Indeed, Palin said she hasn’t decided whether she’ll run in 2012 - with or without Romney.
Romney, a presumptive 2012 Republican presidential contender who recently embarked on a nationwide book tour, has not ruled out an alliance with Palin, the GOP’s 2008 vice presidential candidate.
“Mitt Romney respects Sarah Palin and he appreciates the contributions she makes to the party,” said Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom. “But his immediate focus is on helping Republicans win back the Congress in 2010.”
Some veteran political observers were intrigued by the notion of the two telegenic former GOP governors on the same ticket.
“They both have a lot they can offer a campaign,” said Douglas Lorenz, a California-based GOP consultant. “Romney has the experience as a governor and experience as a candidate for president, and when you combine that with Sarah Palin’s ability to get people motivated, that could definitely be a formidable ticket.”
Republican gubernatorial candidate Christy Mihos called the matchup “the best of both worlds.”
“They both come at it from totally different parts of the spectrum,” said Mihos, who attended yesterday’s Tea Party rally. “One deals on a gut level with people and the other is highly successful on the business end of things.”
Speaking before a rapt crowd estimated at 5,000, Palin squarely targeted Democrats, pounding away at Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package. She also lobbied for domestic oil drilling.
“I want to tell ’em, ‘Nah, we’ll keep clinging to our Constitution and our guns and religion - and you can keep the change,” Palin said, later adding, “Yeah, let’s drill, baby, drill; not stall, baby, stall - you betcha.”
Meanwhile, Palin said last night she had no hard feelings about U.S. Sen. Scott Brown’s decision to skip the rally. “He was in Washington doing his job,” she said.
Please don’t push it Resty. The Socialist Romney is not worth we Inmans losing our most valuable and effective member!
You have freepmail.
Not the Word of God? Oh, no.
Another example of the alleged superiority of lds, our bible is better
We after all have Joseph Smith's word on that
If the Bible is true then then lds/BoM is invalid
If the Bible is untrue and restoration was needed then the Bible is invalid
lds can not have it both ways
So Sybil now we know what you really think, the Christian Bible is not the lds bible.
Finally a truthism from Sybil.
Interesting hypocrisy there.
(Don't worry I know it just an act to help our side look good, keep it up)
Nope, I'm good.
Sweetb=steveb ??
The mod adds it to the title after the banning.
T? What about you? Break any covenants
Not me. I'm under the new covenant. "All" I have to do it put my complete and total faith and trust in He who died on the cross for me. God does the rest.
Now what would that do to the claims that anti-RINO Palin critics must be destroyed because they are helping Romney??? . And the claims that only Sarah can save us from Romney and that there is a big Sarah against Romney battle going on right now? Will Rabs be flooded with apology pings if Sarah joins the Dark Lord RINO Romney?
From your keyboard to our eyes.
Truthfully, I don't think Rabs is in any grave danger of being flooded with Palinista apology pings. I could be wrong, but I doubt he received few, if any, apologies from the '08 McCainiacs.
I could say that about mainstream faiths that have fooled me but contention is not of the Lord so I will a void doing so!
You want to hate my faith which is composed of a lay Church made up on believers well go ahead and tell yourself it is the Church you hate not the people.
Its like saying I hate the Jewish religion but I don’t hate the Jews!
Agreed 100%
Resty, it's YOUR bible too. It's everyone's.
"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people" Luke 2:10
All the people. Doesn't that fill you with joy?
"I bring you good news of great joy which shall be for Resty"
You can thump your Bible
______________________________________
Yes TM4 by all means thump and grab with both hands the true and only Word of God, the Bible...
Just DONT go thumping or reading that there phony book of mormon...
We have all noticed, Retsy, how you never engage in any contentious behavior, name-calling, childish taunts, or vitriol, and your LDS cohorts must admire you tremendously for your self-control, godliness and witness.
That must be why they leave you flying in the wind on these threads, even when you beg for help and support. They know you are their finest example.
Anyone who is considering voting for that baby killing liberal, RINO Romney, aught to be shot to put him or her out of their misery...
Holding on tight with both hands and all my heart :-)
Resty is just not good PR of advertising for the mormmon corporation eh ???
Wonder just how many lurkers she turns off...
We really ought to ping you-know-who to this thread. Maybe she's lurking :-)
Good for you
:)
