Why should she? Her strategy may be to get Romney supporters to switch to her by using a positive strategy and not use a “your guy is a liberal Democrat” strategy that would never work. That’s like Palin supporters calling Bachmann a Romney stalking horse then expecting them to get on the SarahExpress if she happens to decide to run. Bachmann supporters most likely will tell them to piss off.
If your theory is correct, why did Rollins go after Palin personally and Bachmann never apologize? If she goes after Palin on something personal and then declines to go after Romney, her supposed #1 competitor for the nomination on a clear negative that's true about him, perhaps you're reading it all wrong.
You might want to think about it, if she's not just running for VP, or just trying to up her profile in the GOP for later I see no other explanation for what she did if she wants to actually win. She didn't have to go personal, it would have been easy to hit him over Romney care without offending his supporters.
Please try again, that's a pretty thin explanation considering what she already did.
So mitt supporters do not expect honesty but a strategy because saying the truth will offend them?
Do mitt supporters live in Massachusetts?
