Poor sport spoiler Romney doing what he does best:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

My opinion of why Palin was chosen as VP in 2008...

1. Juan McInsane was the chosen Establishment member to lose to Obamatollah

2. The Establishment saw Palin as THE rising Conservative star

3. By attaching Palin to a losing campaign would tarnish Palin and end any political career as well as defeat a Conservative. Again.

4. When Palin alone rocketed the campaign into the lead, the Establishment panicked.

5. To insure a GOP loss, Juan tanked the campaign every way that could be done

The rest is history...
