Sarah Palin: Mainstream Media and Barack Obama Want Mitt Romney as Nominee
Human Events ^ | January 8, 2012 | Tony Lee

Posted on 01/08/2012 12:21:23 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said the mainstream media and President Barack Obama “want to face Mitt Romney​ in the general election.” She made those comments on “Justice With Judge Jeanine” on FOX News on Saturday during the same time the Republican presidential candidates were debating in New Hampshire on ABC.

Palin said the mainstream media would take a hands-off approach to Romney “in order to bolster Romney’s chances” to “finally face Obama.”

According to Palin, the mainstream media and Obama would then portray Romney as someone who is out of touch with regular Americans in the general election.

“They are already gearing up to portray him, accurately or inaccurately … as being out of touch with the working class,” Palin said, nothing that Romney’s wealth and perfect family may make it easy to paint him as someone “being a bit out of touch from working and middle class Americans and from the challenges we all face.”

Palin continued: “My opinion is that I can see what’s coming ... the media will try to bolster Romney so they can tear him down, and that is quite unfortunate.”

Palin then conceded that any of the candidates, though, would be better than Obama.

Yep, Sarah is right on target. We need to support Newt in South Carolina. Donate to Newt’s campaign. GO NEWT!

With all due respect to the governor, it's so easy even a 3rd grader can do it.

The tear down they are anticipating is via 0bama in the general.

Romney is 0bama's only hope, other than that, 0bama is toast IMO.

You betcha they do. Can’t you just see Romney debating Obama and trying to convince some minute fraction of the population that Romneycare is different and he’ll get in there and repeal Obamacare? I’m sure Obama’s handlers are already teaching him how to say “Now, Mitt...” in the most condescending way possible...

Maybe she's a bit slow on the up-take.

I guess that makes her persona non grata on today’s FR.

Why kick someone for saying what is right and what 90% of our commentators and officials are ignoring? Kudos to Palin for saying it.

Or maybe she’s talking to the millions of voters out there that don’t pay attention to politics 24/7/365 like we do. Ever think of that?
