The GOP doesn’t have the balls to allow this conservative woman to speak.
Palin scares the livin' bat crap out of the GOP-e.
And that's a good thing.

I think it would be cool if Gov. Palin pulled a Kanye West, you know when Kanye took the award statue from Taylor Swift at the Grammy’s. When Mitt gets the nomination, just as he is about to speak, she should come up from behind, take the microphone and give the convention floor a piece of her mind.........
Let the Lady speak!
Palin to the podium!
D@mned right she should speak, but mitt will fight it tooth and nail because if Sarah takes the stage the delegates stampede to give her the nomination. Let’s pray that it happens.
What would be the point of her speaking?
Would it make Romney acceptable? Because that’s what
the speakers there do. Support the nominee. It’s a program.
Why would she wish to ally herself with the system that
gave us Romney? Because that alliance is a condition of
speaking. She hasn’t declared such alliance. No Speakee.
The convention is and will be a Romneyfest.
You can’t really expect them to book any opposition.
I would think that if Sarah Palin were to be a featured speaker she would receive a standing ovation throughout her comments. More so than Mittens.
Go Sarah Go!!!
That Ms. Palin draws and excites crowds is all well and good, but will that translate into votes for Mitt in November?
Only if she’s on the ticket. Fat chance since at this point Sarah’s not inclined to play second fiddle to anyone, much less a socialist.
Let Gov. Palin give the speech nominating Gov. Romney.
She could stress his plan for our increased domestic energy production.
She'd WOW 'em. She'd coalesce his Conservative support. She'd bring in Tea Party folks as well as Energy producers and users.
And she'd improve her credentials to become Secretary of Energy, Interior, EPA.
Her purpose were she to speak would be to enhance the chances of a Republican presidential victory. Could she do that and upstage Romney at the same time? She wouldn’t do that?

Sarah Palin will make Milt look tiny and boring, just like she did to mccain in 08..nobody cared about mcshame, the focus was on palin.. I would say Sarah’s speech at the RNC was the best EVER..
If Milt wants to win in 4 months, he’d better give her a significant role at the convention and in campaigning. ABO isn’t selling everybody like he thought it would. Guess we’ll see just how smart his people are.
Weeeell maybe not. I think Democrats just might allow Zell a position before the Republicans would allow Palin.
She absolutely deserves it and will do a terrific job ... and therein lies the problem. The others will pale in the shadow of the candidate who should have been. (Unless, of course, she is on the ticket!!!)
Romney is smart enough to recognize the advantage of letting Sarah Palin speak at the convention. It would unite the party in a way that nothing else that I can think of would accomplish.
But I don’t think he will do it. I don’t think any of us actually knows that but a Sarah Palin speech seems unlikely at this point.
And the likely Romney political calculation is quite simple:
1) The MSM attacks on Governor Palin have worked to a large extent, at least with the left leaning GOP voters and many of the Independents. Whether we like it or not, the Palin Well has been poisoned.
2) Letting the former Alaska Governor speak will add some GOP votes, cost some GOP votes, add few if any Independent votes and cost perhaps many Independent votes.
Right now Romney calculates a net loss to his campaign. I don’t think it is anymore complicated than that. We might, with the help of Jim DeMint and others change his mind. I’m not hopeful but I don’t discount the possibility. If I was Romney I would ask for polls on the issue. Perhaps he already has.
Sarah Palin is a patriot and while I doubt that she is terribly enthusiastic about Mitt Romneys' nomination, she knows as well as we do that Obama must be defeated in November and will do all she can to make certain that happens. Should Romney do the unthinkable and keep Palin from a speaking role at the convention I can envision her making a rousing speech to 'get out the vote' at a venue outside the convention hall because, as a patriot and a classy lady, Sarah Palin would rise above Romney's pettiness and do what she could, not for Romney, but for America.
