I think they're in for a rude awakening. Check out the comments, too.

Sorry, this time we won’t be letting the Democrats and Left-Wing Press pick our candidate.
Hope that is OK with you left-tards!
To: 2ndDivisionVet
It’s a feeling, an identification, a sense that the candidate is “one of us.”
Written by a lib, no doubt about it.

The flip flopper Willard Romney would snatch defeat
out of the jaws of victory as GOP nominee!

In some states there are open primaries and you can stop it. That is how we got McCain.

This is a question a lot of progressives I know are now asking themselves with regard to Palin -- should you want her to be the GOP nominee, given the small chance that she'd win, set against the likelihood that if by some turn of events she did, within a few months America would become a post-apocalyptic hellscape where survival depends on forging an alliance with the cannibal gangs to overcome the zombie horde? What was it this guy was saying about somebody having "the crazy vote locked down"?

chances are she'll be running a Keystone Kops campaign more notable for its entertainment value than for its ability to accumulate delegates.They sure are in for a jolt. The Palin organization has been orchestrating and carrying out detailed and extended "campaigns" around her booksigning tours, her speech schedules, dealing with the media, all the crucial elements which contribute to a successful candidacy. Certainly fundraising will be the least of Palin's worries if she runs!
These people are pro's by now. It has all happened right under the enemy's nose, and in their arrogance they haven't even noticed.

If Palin gets in, she'll have the crazy vote locked down, and that will take the pressure off Romney. (twitch) being from Minnesota and knowing of Al Franken (twitch) I'm (twitch) fighting the idea that (twitch) Sarah Palin (twitch) may be the best damn thing that can happen to us (twitch) on a national (twitch) basis in 2012 (twitch).
I guess perhaps that I may just be crazy to have a wanton directive for a true conservative leader.
I'm just NUTS but with conviction!
PSSST, please don't let it out that I have voted Bachmann every time she has been elected (twitch) for they may lock me (twitch) up for good for my own good.
Am I crazy?

Forget Romney, he's dead meat. In 2008 he spent what--60 million dollars? And didn't even get a T-shirt. His sell-by date has passed.
To: jessduntno
Written by a lib, no doubt about it. I've lost track of how many pieces I've read lately written by libs containing amateurish psychological ploys to get us to like Romney.
The left really seems to like him. 'Nuff said.

No offense, but Mitt couldn’t even beat John McCain.

Whether progressives would rather have Romney be the nominee over someone else is a difficult question. ....................................... Looks like the MSM picking your candidate again. Why not Dole/McCain? LOL

That is how we got McCain. We got McCain because of Mitt Romney being in the 2008 primaries.

I actually think to some extent that Sarah Palin running in the primaries could help someone like Mitt Romney. If people really feel she can’t win the general election because she resigned from the governorship, they might be more forgiving of another candidate’s weaknesses—just to get someone, anyone else to win the nomination.
That said, I think Romney has a big hill to climb as a result of all the criticism of Romneycare being like Obamacare.
Lately I get the impression that Palin probably won’t run, but could end up being a “kingmaker” by throwing her support behind someone else. (Huckabee maybe?)

Blame Romney then, first he killed the selection by making all potentials know that he was entering the race with all of the money, and all of the organization and people, and then he was too weak to defeat even a broke, McCain or Huckabee.
Romney is still here and now wants to ruin 2012.

Hi, Newbie.
First, Gov. Palin running helps Gov. Palin.
Second, nothing could help Romney except if he apologizes
for what he has done.
Finally, RomneyCARE = ObamaCARE = FASCISM
