“Palin, and really, only Palin has presented the issues and her platform for all to see in writing and in public address.”
C’mon, you cant be serious.
We have 2 books from Perry, maybe a dozen books from Gingrich. Ideas galore from Gingrich, Santorum, Cain and Bachmann. They’ve given more real substance and detail on their plans, and folks like Bachmann can back up their words with what they’ve been doing in Congress.
Just this week, Romney delivered a tome, a serious detailed economic plan, almost 100 pages of specific legislation and presidential actions to turn the economy around:
Here’s Romney’s summation:
Right-size government by cutting spending, repealing Obamacare, and ending wasteful programs
Make American businesses competitive in the global economy
Open markets abroad, on fair terms, for American goods and services
Ensure energy security and independence for America
Train and prepare American workers for the jobs of today and tomorrow
Sound familiar? It should sound familiar because in fact nothing Palin has been saying is drastically different from what the announced GOP candidates are saying, including Romney’s plan. It’s all about drilling for energy, reforming tax code, cutting the spending, fixing entitlements, repealing Obamacare and getting govt back under control and giving the people their freedom. The ‘plan’ in her Iowa speech is a cliff notes version of what Romney lays out in detail.
And this “No professed candidate is prepared to debate Palin” must be unintentional satire, since OF COURSE the announced candidates just DID debate tonight, and Palin is free to join the crown if/when she announces. None will fear her in the debates.
“Hitting the pretender in the offal orifice with real, well thought out commentary on his failures and devastation of the country.”
Palin has been great on this, true, but pretending she’s the only one is silly, when most of the candidates (i’d say all except Huntsman) have been going after Obama pretty well. Perry did enough right out of the gate to get Team Obama focussed on him, like Sauron’s eye after the Ring!

IOW, nothing! No bills written, nor submitted. Essentially a spectator. Unable to even hire a competent chief of staff.
.
>> “Ideas galore from Gingrich” <<
.
Really? God help us! Pelosi’s couch was newtie’s pinnacle.
And all of the copying that has recently been done of Palin’s layout from two years ago by all the “other thans” is meaningless. All of it coaxed in recent weeks.
Nothing that Romney proposes is acceptable for present conditions; if he were trying to fluff up Reagan’s last term, maybe, but we are way down the road from Romney’s wader depth now.
You’re imagining substance from the fluff the “other thans” have offered.

You obviously didn’t read past the first clause of that paragraph. Today’s controled question “debate” is designed to protect those lightweights from Palin’s hard points. Let’s talk about a real debate between the candidates with never before seen questions from people chosen out of the audience at random by the debators.
Stop protecting the chaff.
