To: Josh Painter
He was still pretty quiet when Nikki Haley came under attack from the smear mongers peddling their adultery stories. It was Sarah Palin who put her credibility on the line and came out to strongly defend Nikki Haley from those smears.
Mitt Romney has been notable for his lack of courage when it actually counts.
To: SmokingJoe
Didn't Romney back Nikki Haley AFTER she'd taken the lead n the polls due to Sarah Palins endorsement and campaign appearance for her? As JP pointed out, Romney was there first, but it wasn't until Palin endorsed her that she "took off".
It's also worth noting that Haley specifically cited Palin's support after the primary.

Mitt is stuck in copy Palin mode and hope somthing happens where he gets lucky ... like if Palin does not run or a bunch of conservatives run and split the vote.
To: RED SOUTH
Mitt will not win. Why? For the simple reason that he has a stupid name. PERIOD. nothing more than that.

I see the Huckster is still lying. Speaking about his support of of Vander Plaat in Iowa....
I don’t support candidates based on how it will affect my political future, but how it will affect the future of the country, Huckabee said.
The article goes onto say that he still maintains 372 activists on the ground in Iowa...LOL.

Romney/Van der Sloot 2012
Fact: The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts. in some polls, days prior to the election.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY decided
to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.
"Frum was indeed a critic of Palin, calling her nomination a "huge mistake" during an October 13 (2008, weeks before the election) Early Show appearance."
David Frum: "Two of our most plausible candidates for president in 2012 are leading Mormons: Mitt Romney and Utah governor Jon Huntsman."
David Frum: "I have a lot of regard for Mitt Romney as a man and politician
I will support him without qualm."
Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off
.hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the Diva leak was Nicolle Wallaces husband."
Kathleen Parker: "[I]t is increasingly clear that Palin is a problem." "Parker ... says something publicly that many of us have thought privately
but lacked the courage to say out loud - Palin should step down:"
"Kathleen Parker: After Interviews, Palin Should Bow Out"
Kathleen Parker: "Romney would bring more than squeaky clean qualifications
and youthful good looks to the ticket.
Romney would seem a logical choice."
"Parker: Romney raised bar on freedoms"
Kathleen Parker: "If Kennedy's speech was an important landmark in American political history,
Romney's was surpassing. With heartfelt humility and poetic eloquence,
he tracked the nation's struggle with and for freedom."
Staggering bigotry of Kathleen Parker - UPDATED"
Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Note that Politico, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Washington comPost, is again trying to pimp Romney.
Romney is a RINO loser, totally dead as far as potential for further office (we’ve seen his messes) and the comPost can’t revive him.
The only reason they want to is because he’s such a loser.

A FACTUAL and TRURTHFUL title. Both Palin and Romney deserve recognition for their efforts. I'm glad to see this. And I will gladly recognize anyone else as well.

So, are we going to have to put up with Mittens at Veep to get Sarah as POTUS?
