Maybe, but how many FReepers are like me? I think both Romney and Palin are very good.
I think there are a few but I can’t think of how the two can compare from the POV of conservatives.
I agree.
Mitt is the stronger of the two on policy wonkery, especially relating to the economy, jobs, enterprise, and taxes. The current article is a fine example. But Mitt fails to connect to the voters, and that's where Sarah shines.
Mitt comes across as wishy-washy and plastic. A little too good to be true. It's obvious he can talk a good story. But will he stick to it? Sarah, on the other hand, is obviously a woman of principle and conviction. She doesn't have the years of experience running Bain Capital, nor is she a Baker Scholar with a Havard MBA/JD. But voters sense she knows what's important and has the will to get the right things done.
After his success at fixing the Salt Lake City Olympics mess, Mitt was considered a contender for governor of either Utah or Massachusetts. He should have gone for Utah governor, assuming that was a realistic possibility. His record governing Utah would have been a lot cleaner. Instead, he took on the challenge of being a Republican governor of one of the bluest states in the union. So, now is record is full of compromise...
