And Palin who, boosted candidates and then cut them off at the knees by her favorite du jour actions is the only conservative to have a chance. She punked out. After her Madison speech in 2011 she would have had only Romney to contend with. She’d have sucked the oxygen from any other conservative challengers. Yet she stayed home. As for candidates who could have challenged, your governor who by beliefs, performance, and personally challenging Obama face to face should have run, but he received little support from the Right who held his TV performance in 2009 against him. In the end Romney is all there was and is, and blaming it on some dark cabal whatever the name, is meaningless.
It isn't punking out if some ***hole drained the swimming pool.
And who did she "cut off at the knees"?
Something tells me, you would dislike her anyway whether she ran or didn't run -- I'm smelling urban liberal prejudice here. What's the matter -- did she forget to pick up her MA degree from Colby College? Radcliffe? Smith? Would she be more pleasing if she vogued like a Vassar girl or moued like a Cliffie? Or maybe drove a Bimmer with a discreet little Georgetown Law parking sticker in the quarter-light?
In the end Romney is all there was and is, ....
Oh, so now he's your Alpha and your Omega! Sorry, didn't realize you had been communing with godhead!
...and blaming it on some dark cabal whatever the name, is meaningless.
No, it's very meaningful if there is a dark cabal. And there is a dark cabal. Thanks for playing.
