Wrong. Palin has a HUGE FR bubble that refuses to hear anything bad about her, even if accurate (and, to repeat, 99% is not accurate). But this is a gigantic weakness---the same exact weakness that surrounds Obama, namely an inability to take criticism of any sort. This is not PALIN who can't do this, but her supporters, and even when the criticism is helpful and warranted.

Now, back to Mitt. You can say what you want about his showing in 2008---when, shall we recall---both Huck and McCain tag-teamed him. But ordinary, average people who are not ideologues like the guy, and his name is ALWAYS among the first to come up with people who don't follow politics on a daily basis---and NEVER Palin's name.

There is a blinder on for Mitt here at FR. It's one thing not to like him or his policies. It's quite another to fail to understand his appeal to a lot (perhaps not a majority, but a lot) of ordinary folks.

LOL, Palin’s conservative support here at freerepublic is reflective of her current 82% Republican approval, and her 93% approval as a Governor.

FR’s disdain for Mitt Romney is reflective of his dismal showing in the 2008 campaign, and his slinking out of office as a failure with 34% approval as a Governor.

You can push Romney all you want, but conservatives don’t buy the product, and when push comes to shove, voters don’t either.

When Palin runs her 150 million dollar advertising campaign
in the primary, it will be to show the truth about herself, Romney’s 150 million dollar promotional campaign in 2008, was to conceal the truth about himself.

By the way, you really show your hand when you see the more qualified, and stronger candidate, 3 term Governor Huckabee’s candidacy only through Romney’s self absorbed eyes, as merely an affront to Mitt Romney, rather than as Huckabee’s own campaign for the presidency, or vice-Presidency.
