"Palin is already tied with or within the Margin of Error of Mitt Romney. My guess is that she will probably even surpass him in some polls that take place after her current and well-received Road Trip. So she doesn’t have as much work to do as the other candidates. She is also the natural beneficiary of conservative voters deciding to get behind one candidate. She is easily the most popular among Very Conservative voters, who are typically the most active at this stage, and Tea Party activists. Because Palin has the largest grassroots capabilities, the best ability to raise funds, and has been the leading vocal opponent to Obama for the past 3 years, she is an easy, natural choice. It is more likely that a Cain supporter would fall towards Palin than Bachmann, and a Bachmann supporter to fall towards palin than Gingrich."

I disagree. Mitt was going to implode anyway. ALL he had going for him was name recognition - little love there whatsoever.

Now that he has opened his mouth, it’s just a matter of time before he Newts himself into oblivion.

Palin will hasten the process (and make it a lot more fun rather than merely exasperting). That said, all of this puts every candidate on notice that the old gig is up: if they want a prayer in this race, they better sign up for Tea Party principles and walk the walk.

Romney is NOT the leader.

Romney's BIG DIG coverup.
Romney's RomneyCARE imposition.
Romney's love of TARP. and Global Warming.
Romney's Orders to the Clerks against the MASS Constitution.
Romney's Advancement of DNC Judges to free murderers.
Challenge: Fill in another ten.

Alex Beam: “In truth, Ronald Reagan
and Mitt Romney have as much in common
as Cardinal O’Malley and Conan O’Brien.
Deservedly or not, Reagan earned a reputation for constancy.
Once he turned against communism, he opposed it big-time.
…. And our former governor? Inconstancy, thy name is Mitt!
A woman’s right to choose? Yes! No! Yes!
Are we in Massachusetts? Yes! Are we in Iowa? No!
Are we on TV? Whatever!”

Milt Romney Walked with SUPERMAN



"Whereas most superheroes' secret identities (Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker) are their true identities
--the people they were before their parents were murdered or they were bitten by radioactive spiders
or exposed to gamma rays or what have you--Superman was born Superman.
It's Clark Kent that is the invented alias, the pose, the "costume."
And in the way Superman plays Kent--weak, self-doubting, cowardly--
we can see what he thinks of the human race overall.
It occurred to me that the same is true of Mitt Romney's desperate,
if never terribly persuasive, impersonation of a conservative Republican."
[from "Mitt Romney as Tarantino's Superman", New Republic]

Proven-Failed Governor Mitt Romney should be NOWHERE near government in the USA.

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Don’t think of this primary as a single party race. It isn’t. It’s about which side will control the Republican Party going into the future. Mitt, Newt, are the establishment. Sarah, Herman, Michelle, Tim and others are the Tea Party. Mitt is the chosen one of the establishment. We need one strong candidate up against Mitt when the voting starts, not a divided field of players. I hope the hopefuls realize that. We don’t need another McCain type of debacle.

Not finding much useful in this article. Palin can beat Mitt but so can and will others. Mitt is old news and will not win. The guy is also misinformed when he says: “Cain is a tough one because they like what he says and his passion, but lacks the experience and where was he in 2010?”

Where was he in 2010? Speaking at tea parties all over the nation. Where were YOU Mr. Author? Sheesh: if you’re gonna put yourself out there as a pundit, at least know as much as the average political junkie.

He makes some ponderable points:

* Bachmann's resume being thinner than Obama's - is this true?
* Cain's hours of potentially problematic talk-radio tape
* only Palin can gather in all the conservative factions - this one I'm unsure about

I do believe Palin is our best hope because she frames America's exceptionalism and Obama Admin's anti-American juggernaut in the strongest, clearest light.

This ‘pollinsider’ is reliably very good.

Note also, how the usual Beltway RINOs—Will, Krauthammer, and then everyone who parroted them—got it exactly backwards.

Palin didn’t, however. And she stepped in just in the nick of time.

She can and WILL win, if she runs! Tragically, f she does not, there is no one with the popularity, money and star power to derail him. America needs a stark choice between Communism and liberty in 201. Bob

I disagree with pollinsider on a few things.

The word Only. Palin can help derail Romney by an endorsement, but that's OUR job as voters and activists. We need to be our own leaders and send him home. We don't need anybody to tell us to do it.

First, if Sarah Palin does not run, Mitt Romney will be the nominee.

Says who? Will be? Mitt Romney could not be John McCain, despite being the establishment pick in 2008. Romney was the establishment pick, not McCain. The grassroots was split. Now Romney could win from a split grassroots, but a lot of people just don't like Romney, even in his birthstate of Michigan, where he did not get 45% in a almost two-way with many protest votes primary.

Also, this is June. We have the Ames poll, Mackinac Conference, other conferences, and six months before our first primary/caucus races. Cain is not well known. Yet. Pawlenty is bland, but he may catch on when people remember Newt's scandals.

I heard that Willard (Mitt) Romney is not running in the Republican primaries he is running in the Democrat primary

As loyal conservatives we shoukd be collecting petitions urging him to do that.
