Politics 101....fight like hell to get what you want during the primaries....once its decided ...all schisms heal and forces join behind the winner ....I have no idea if Romney will get it and Im certainly not fighting for him ...but IF he gets it I will support him and I will not stay home
Palin will do the same whether in the race or not ....and yes Palin gets my full support now or later
I honestly don’t think that Romney will survive the primaries. I said earlier that he has gotten nothing but softballs and he has never EVER been pushed hard to account for his flips and Romneycare.
As soon as that happens, he’s done. Whether it’s the press (doubtful) or one of the Repub candidates, it’s gonna happen. Romneycare is his exposed throat and there are a couple candidates with plenty of huevos to bite it.
Whether Palin gets in or not (I think she will of course), somebody takes him out of the running and the GOP will not be able to save him. Hell McCain took him out last time and he’s done nothing of note since.
Bottom line, I really think we are FAR too worried about him. Without the media telling people how great he is, he is just as empty a suit as Obama. And the above quickly ends his only advantage IMO FWIW.
