Palin Calls On Romney To Work Harder For The Conservative Vote Peter Hamby

Washington (CNN) - Sarah Palin issued a warning to Mitt Romney Saturday, calling on the former Massachusetts governor to do a better job explaining his record to conservatives or risk dampening voter turnout in November if he wins the Republican presidential nomination.

In an interview with CNN and The New York Times before her speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, Palin said she was confused by Romney’s declaration here on Friday that he was a “severely conservative Republican.”

“I wasn’t quite sure what the word 'severely' meant,” Palin said.

She said Romney and his two main rivals - Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich - should be given time to explain the flaws in their record until the Republican National Convention in August, when she said the nomination fight could ultimately be decided.

But Romney may have the hardest sale to make, she said, asking him to explain his “shifts in ideology” since he left the Massachusetts governorship.

Interesting note here.......

I don't think Mitt is going to like her very much for this.

I could not believe he used the word “severely” either. Ridiculous. It made him sound like all the untruthful characteristics the libs try to hang on conservatives as humorless, angry, bitter, puritanical, prudes and legalists. As usual, Mitt speaks off the cuff and winds up cuffing himself.

He does not like anybody, and the feeling is mutual.

Mitt has NEVER liked Sarah and the feeling is mutual. She can’t stand him either, or his hired goons who have been trashing her since 2008

Heh....he's probably sitting somewhere snarling about her as we speak. He'll never get someone like Palin, and he'll never get the American people.

My understanding also. Sarah speech at CPAC was fantastic.

As usual, she hit it out of the park today. I still wish she would take some voice lessons, but I don't know anyone that can motivate people so well, or crystallize concepts down to fun sound bites like she can. She had a message that brought everyone to their feet over and over again, encouraging us all to get up off our butts once again and try to save this beautiful country the Obamacrats are destroying.

What a gift she has.

I’m sure Mittens Oromney will be pleased to become as conservative as expediency dictates, and then explain it with his plastic smile. After all, it’s only for as long as it takes to get elected.

Sarah probably knows this already, but dampening conservative voter turnout into assured defeat levels is precisely what Mittens was hired by the Democrats to do.

When you look at his car salesman smile, remember that he knows he's running in order to throw the election to the Rats.

With every wave, with every word, with every smile - he knows it.

And he's laughing at the Republicans who don't.

Guaran-damn-tee you the Bishop was watching Sarah's speech, and it was just killing him knowing that he will never command the adoration of the people the same way Sarah does.

KMA, Bishop...

During her speech his handlers were probably pointing out to him

“see how she says that”

“see how effortly she expounds”

“See how they hang on every word”

“if you can do that..”

“Oh make her stop” says Willie Mitty “Ive got a tummy ache”

LOL
