RUSH: Now, folks, I want to tell you something here. I saw that... Where did I see this? Oh! Oh! I didn't have a chance to reply to it. I got an e-mail from Mike Allen of The Politico last night. They're working on a story; they may have already run it.
Some Republican leader has told them that the Republican leadership is right now as we speak coalescing to find somebody to oppose Sarah Palin. They didn't identify whoever this "Republican leader is," so I can't tell you who it is, but they say that there's a Republican talking to them at Politico that they are trying to find somebody to beat back Palin, from the Republican establishment, because they are convinced that if Palin is the nominee, the party loses. That's, at least, what they say. It could also be they're scared to death that Palin wins it's the end of them: The Republican establishment.
Mike Allen wanted to take my reply, and I got his e-mail in the midst of a whole bunch other stuff. I just now remembered it so I haven't had a chance to reply. But let's see. This kind of thing, I think the reason I didn't drop everything and reply is 'cause the little antenna go up. It could be a disinformation campaign before the election. Why write a story right now about Palin in 2012? What's the point of running a story like that right now if not then to sow dissention in the ranks? But regardless of that, I don't want to go third party. You don't want to do it. It's gonna be tempting. Third party, you had it right the first time: Guaranteed lose.
Yes, he voted “present” to his own campaign. Too bad we couldn’t dump him in the primary. JD just didn’t have the goods.
Both Rove and Mitt would be my guess. We don’t need a former Gov of Mass. It puts him over more to the Bawney Fwank side than the Sarah side.
JD did have the goods but didn’t have the money.
McCain didn’t have the goods but had the money.
He used what he had - money. He didn’t have truth or his word to stand on.
I still hope AZ votes him out. Give it to the ‘rat like he gave us the ‘rat barry.
Does the Romney smell remind you of this?
“Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family’s hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon’s roof rack. He’d built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog.
“Then Romney put his boys on notice: He would be making predetermined stops for gas, and that was it.
“The ride was largely what you’d expect with five brothers, ages 13 and under, packed into a wagon they called the ‘’white whale.’’
“As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ‘’Dad!’’ he yelled. ‘’Gross!’’ A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who’d been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.
“As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management.”
Wish I had a list of the GOP elites that would supposedly roll over Sarah. Just wish I had names.

The story is believable, in spite of Politico’s leftist tilt to stir the pot. Rest assured though that no current or potential GOP officeholder wants any attribution to this plotting, else the grim reaper would be at their door. Boehner, McConnell, Romney, Gingrich are currently “persons of interest” using today’s vernacular. The price of highballs is going up at the country club
I admit I couldn’t follow JD’s campaign that closely, so I take your word for it that he was an effective campaigner and that the main problem was lack of dough. To think we have McCain and Graham back riding sidesaddle makes me sick.
Post 15 is an utter embarrassment to this site. It should be deleted.
they’ll fight conservatives harder that they’ll fight liberals.
Upsetting the Party’s recent nominee for President was a tall order though. And McLame ran to the right, aided and abetted by the MSM. In the debate, JD did okay, but not as well as I would expect from a guy who gets paid to talk for hours a day. Seems to me, an incisive intellect could have shredded McCain, money or no.
Translation:
Some RINO leader has told them that the RINO leadership is right now as we speak coalescing to find somebody to oppose the will of the republican base.
