There’s never been a woman candidate like Palin before. No one even comes close. It doesn’t matter, He couldn’t even beat McCain. I believe that politically,this is going to be the year of the woman.

Myth might actually do OK in the general as he’s bland and directionless enough to appeal to the mushy middle. Problem for him is he’s too much of a squish to make it out of the primaries, especiallly after Juan in ‘08.

Romney is not qualified because of Romney's hallucinations.

"Mitt Romney Lies About Father ‘Marching With Martin Luther King, Jr.’"
"Mitt Romney has been caught in yet another lie.
Only yesterday Romney’s claim of not supporting Planned Parenthood abortion mills was abruptly smashed by a photograph surfacing of him at one of their fundraisers in 1994.
Today, it’s Romney’s claim that his father “marched with” famed civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.
During his “I’m a Mormon but it doesn’t matter” speech, Mitt Romney claimed he saw his father,
George Romney, marching with MLK during a 1968 civil rights march through Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
It was a stirring account of the efforts of his father to show that the Romney family have always reached across ecumenical lines.
Only one little problem… it never happened."



"Mitt Romney went a step further in a 1978 interview with the Boston Herald.
Talking about the Mormon Church and racial discrimination, he said:
"My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit."
"Yesterday (12//07), Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom acknowledged that was not true.
"Mitt Romney did not march with Martin Luther King,"
he said in an e-mail statement to the Globe.


Against Myth Romney is 1:

"On Sunday, June 23, 1963, 125,000 people marched down Detroit's Woodward Avenue
to the Civic Center, in what was described at the time as the largest civil-rights demonstration in the nation's history.
According to the next day's account in the Holland Evening Sentinel,
the crowd at the Center "lustily booed," when representatives of Governor George W. Romney
read a proclamation declaring "Freedom March Day in Michigan." But Martin Luther King Jr. didn't fault Romney for his absence,
which the governor ascribed to his policy against public appearances on the Sabbath.
"At a news conference following the march . .
[King] refused to criticize Romney for not attending the demonstration," the Sentinel reported."

Against Myth Romney is 2:

Susan Englander, assistant editor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Papers Project at Stanford University, who is editing the King papers from that era,
says Myth Romney was untruthful, when she told the Globe yesterday:
"I researched this question, and indeed it is untrue that George Romney marched with [Dr.] King."

Against Myth Romney is 3:

"King never marched in Grosse Pointe, according to the Grosse Pointe Historical Society,
and had not appeared in the town at all at the time the Broder book was published.
“I’m quite certain of that
,” says Suzy Berschback, curator of the Grosse Pointe Historical Society"


Once again a few good women stand in the way
of the nutcase carpetbagger.

Romney is also incredibly awkward when speaking to blacks and about race. He really would insure Obama’s re-election. Palin is the one, I think, who can stop that. But yes, she’s got to be careful not to get caught playing the gender card at the wrong time as well.

Governor Sarah Palin has energized the center-right moderate and the conservative majority that has been silent for too long. The far left liberal/progressives only represent 20 percent of the U.S. population, but they have most of the legacy media, TV stations, magazines, Hollywood and newspapers pushing their agenda. Thanks to talk radio, FOX News and the Internet, the other 80 percent has a voice, and Governor Sarah Palin has them riled up and speaking out against the liberal agenda of larger government, out-of- control spending, the deterioration of family values and our worldwide respect. The entire world is laughing at our far left, liberal, government stupidity.

As for a comparison of Sarah Palin and Obama; Palin knows the meaning of logic and commonsense, Obama hasn’t a clue.

Vote to make sure the majority center/right moderates and conservatives take back control of Congress this November, and hopefully, before the far left has destroyed the American way.

It is quite a leap from saying “Romney treats women opponents badly and wins every time” to saying “Romney cannot possibly defeat Palin,” but somehow Andrew gets there.

Romney doesn't always beat female opponents. He lost to McCain who isn't much of a man. As for Romney v. Palin, he's never faced a woman as strong and charismatic as her. Palin may have my vote (may because I would love to find someone even better). Romney will not get my vote - he's a pro-ObamaCare RINO who proved in 2008 that he's a lackluster campaigner. I'll write in Palin, or possibly even Reagan, if it's a choice between Romney and Obama (symbolic, since the socialists will carry my state, but I'll still do it because symbols matter).
