A movement is bubbling in DC among conservative operatives and talking heads who don’t think Mitt Romney has what it takes to beat President Obama.

i THINK THEY ARE ON TO SOMETHING. He just doesn’t have what it takes.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR MITT - PERIOD. I’ll write in Palin if push comes to shove.

Interesting. I’ve posted here before my rationale for voting for Obama over Romney, assuming we get a solidly Republican Congress. (In short, they would likely defund Obamacare if Obama is President, but Romney would probably encourage them to “tweak” it, rather than defund it or repeal it.)

And, instead of writing in Palin’s name, I probably would still vote for Obama, because a write-in would cost him a vote.

However, given what’s happening in the primaries, it would make some sense to start a primary write-in movement for Palin just to see how strong she really is. I would only advocate this, however, if Cain flounders soon and Perry stays weak. Gingrich, I fear, while knowledgeable, would not right the ship. He might even lose to Obama, for that matter. In other words, a Palin write-in campaign in one of the early states, IA or SC, might make sense in the absence of a strong candidate for the anyone-but-Romney position.

For now, though, I hope Cain continues to gain strength...
