First off, you have never heard me knock Romney (or Mormons, for that matter - someone seemed to lump with me the Anti-Mormon bigots earlier...).

I said “Team Romney,” and I meant it. That means all of the pro-Romney media saboteurs (Parker, among others), the campaign team who we now know have been leaking smears for a long time in a series of disgruntled acts for not picking their guy (Mitt), and those folks - members of Team Romney - who have been quick to spread ridiculous smears and attacks ONE day after the election in the hopes of destroying Palin so that Mitt somehow becomes the new front-runner.

My only repudiation of Mitt Romney himself right now is that he ought to be calling these folks out by name and repudiating them harshly. He could shut them up NOW - and nobody can convince me otherwise.

But we need to know their rnames, print their names, and remember their names. These folks are going to be looking for jobs in the next campaign season, and we need to make them radioactive for what they are doing, and have done, to Sarah Palin and this campaign.

I will never forget these folks - NEVER.

We agree and strongly, about those who turned against Sarah.
Kathleen Parker, a snob who I have never liked, is a regular on Chris Matthews and she did it to impress her liberal frineds. It’s the same for David Brooks who in addition, sounds like he has converted to the left. This had nothing to do with Romney and I’m tired of people saying so.

This is really a bit much. Romney has no say over which pundits support him or hate him or any control over what they say or don't say. He is not the thought police or the speech dictator.

To lump everyone together in a "Team Romney" when most Romney team members supported Gov. Palin wholeheartedly is unfair and painting with far too broad a brush.

Additionally, there is no evidence linking Romney or his people to this campaign infighting which, instead, points to former Bush WH people, Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt. Should we blame Bush for this too then? Team Bush is to blame? That's silly. These people are respsonsible for their own actions regardless of who they worked for in the past.

Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt, the McCain campaign handlers involved in the infighting and leaking, did not work for Romney.

Instead of misdirecting all of this anger towards an innocent person (or his team), we should be trying to find out if Nicolle Wallace's actions were mere negligence or sabotage.
