I just had something of an epiphany:
Rather than continue to simply try to bash Romney on this site, a completely understandable and valid tactic I’ll enthusiastically admit.
How about at some point, all the anti-Romney sentiment is harnessed into what could conceivably be a powerful, persuasive “draft Palin VP” movement as a way of rapprochement with the RINOS in the GOP-e.
They seem to have outmaneuvered us once again, but we’re still influential.
I say, we start actively promoting Palin as a compromise. It would be the best of what worlds are left.
The Tea Party would advance. Palin would advance. And Obama would be CLOBBERED in November.
:D
Because Palin would never take the job in the first place. She is not going to ever take a #2 spot again. And if there was even the slightest chance she'd consider a VP nod again, I think it is fair to say it would never be on the ticket with another RINO.
No Republican Presidential candidate would ever nominate her again anyway. She'd simply overshadow them too much because she is now a celebrity.
If Palin goes back into politics, she will run for the top spot and nothing else. It's certainly possible she will run in 2016 or 2020, but I rather suspect she likes her job as opinion shaper and political analyst/commentator far better than being an actual politician.
I too don’t think Palin would sign on to be Romney’s VP, especially not after everything Romney’s people did during the last election and after to discredit and take down Palin (for which McCain was wrongly blamed, in my opinion). However, even if Palin signed on, I still could not bring myself to support Romney.
I could probably support a repeat of McCain/Palin, as well as Huntsman/Palin, but in my opinion Romney has proven himself to be a much more dangerous breed of RINO/GOPe. His record as governor of Massachusetts which has proven to be the inspiration for Obama’s presidency, his behind-the-scenes takedown of Palin and other Christian conservatives, his scorched earth campaign during the primaries, the Utah GOP’s shielding of Warren Jeffs, and his Mormon surrogates narrowcasting “White Horse Prophecy” language to Mormon voters - I find unsettling.
