While Romney is clearly not ideal, I have argued here that we all need to get out and vote for him because the alternative is unthinkable. But if he is stupid enough to pick Condi as his running mate my resolve to go to the polls in November will be significantly diminished.
Earth to Romney: 1) She is NOT conservative and choosing her will diminish conservative turnout; 2) Irrespective of the poll on Drudge’s site, she will NOT help garner any black votes or independent votes; 3) She did a lousy job in the Bush administration and her experience in Bush’s administration will make it that much more difficult for Romney’s campaign to keep the focus on Obama’s incompetence/dishonesty/blind ideology; 4) She has demonstrated in her past NO capacity to execute the necessary passionate brand of campaigning I would like to see. 5) Most people will recognize immediately that a Condi choice is pandering at its worst.
DON’T DO IT.
Any ticket that wins is a good ticket.
Sorry Sarah...we part company on Condi. Have a nice winter up in Wasilla while the rest of the country burns to the ground.
Love ya Sarah, can’t agree with you on Condi, though.
I dunno, it would be great to watch her make Joe look foolish in the VP debate. Not that Joe needs much help...
Palin: Condi Rice “Would Be A Wonderful Vice President”
***Hopefully, this means Palin has her eye on 2016 or beyond, when she might be up against Condi Rice and knows how to beat her. But if Romney chooses a social conservative for VP choice, Palin would have trouble running against that one in the future.
Well as usual it’s been another fun thread to read . The so called conservatives who walk on water thinking the Constitution will be restored overnight VS the common sense that socialist light beats marxism anytime .
Romney .
Condi is pro-abortion and Condi shares a California condo with another middle-aged, never-married woman. She’d be a great decision for vice-president if it was on the ticket with Obama.
Her international expertise began where Madeleine’s ended which is not surprising since they both had the same teacher: Albright’s father.
Besides, it’s no good trying to ‘balance’ the ticket with another African. Believe it or not, there are a few good men that would be a perfect balance to Romney’s middle of the road politics.
And another thing, I’ve long been a fan of Palin; however, she has definitely supported the signing and implementation of the LOST UN fiasco!
It’s not Sarah’s place to attack a quasi-Republican whom she may have to stump with in coming months. To attack Condi would have been stupid on her part. HOWEVER, I can say that Condi would be an unmitigated disaster both for Romney and for America. Her foreign policy thinking is downright goofy. Her love of *democracy* is insane. Bob
Why is Palin making a complete ass of herself over this RINO loser trial balloon? Evaporating cred.
Folks here will excuse anything Sarah Palin says.
Fact is she is wrong on this period. No social conservative would call Condi Rice “wonderful” with a straight face.
Palin did not run when we hoped she would.
This is not magic....there is no cleverness here...no chess game.
She did not run and look where we are now.
Frankly I feel like Rhett to Scarlett.
I don’t give a damn what she says.
Anymore.
I will never forget how she just meekly opted out via Mark Levin...that damned book spooked her. No question to me.
If it wasn’t that then she deserves scorn for leading folks to think she would run for years.
Incredible really.
but the cult continues I’m sure
OK. The Great and Powerful Palin has spoken. If Romney doesn’t pick Rice, now, I’ll never vote for him. Because Palin is never wrong,it’s the only logical choice I have.
LOL Palin used to be pro life. I guess she has changed more then I realized.
