“Hammer on “crony capitalism” - and wait for Sarah Palin to show up— which I think she will.”
I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one. I saw her on Hannity tonight. She thinks the guys using the Bain Capital attack strategy are on the wrong track.
But I liked the clip on Greta later, before she interviewed Newt, of a supporter at his town hall who told him he thought Newt should back off the current Bain attacks and get back to hammering Romney on his phony conservatism - to which Newt answered that he absolutely agreed with him.
There is just SO much to legitimately attack Romney on without going down the road or appearing to attack capitalism - so many things to go after that all conservatives can rally around. I’m glad that Newt’s now being pragmatic - too bad that Perry’s decided to double down.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed for Newt in SC.
That damned Ron Paul. (Just thought I’d throw that in for good measure :-)
llandres, I didn’t hear the interview. But, I think the correct politic reply at this point is just as she said—and Newt is kind of saying the same thing.
BUT, I think they know now that this thing will have a life of its own-—and they are going to let the media and the PACS dog Romney on the issue.
It’s out there.
I don’t know what interview you saw, but Palin jumped right on board criticizing Romney’s tenure at Bain. She is as much a populist as any Republican. After all, she went after the oil companies in Alaska for a much greater share of the oil profits. The idea that big business is “looking out for us” is ludicrous. Freedom means a lot of things, including having to watch your back in a dog-eat-dog world.
That damned Ron Paul. (Just thought I’d throw that in for good measure :-)

Tell, ya, we’d better watch Ron Paul. If he doesn’t get the nom, his punky little supporters are going to run, not walk to Obama if Paul doesn’t go third party. They could be the true spoilers in the general.
I hope whomever gets the GOP nom has a strategy for them. They are the hugest fools in this whole story.
