Yes, I agree. Palin was the ONLY reason I voted for McCain and the only person who made the campaign interesting.
That said, if Romney gets the nomination (which is by no means a done deal), I think he’d pick somebody even duller and more out of touch than he is, because I suspect he’s a serious egomaniac and would not like a VP candidate who is more intelligent, more likeable or more anything than he is. Santorum would fill that bill perfectly...
Excerpt: "O’Donnell’s understanding was that, following the Florida primary this past Tuesday, he would be tendered a formal offer to advise Romney on debates going forward.
And several sources in and close to the Romney camp said there had been deep consternation internally over the press O’Donnell received and the pre-emptive, how-we-did-it Times story, which quoted Romney adviser Russ Schriefer among others.
The piece, said one campaign insider, made the candidate himself “seem like an afterthought in reviving his own campaign.”
The campaign held a conference call this week, multiple sources said, in which a clear message was delivered — Romney pulled himself back from the brink after South Carolina, and no one else did it for him.
Romney made his feelings jarringly clear when he was asked about the Times story in an interview Monday on the “Today” show.
“I think you can expect advisers to think that the work of advisers is very, very important, but frankly, I think if you’re to go back and look at where the sentiment changed, it was with the debates,” Romney told Matt Lauer."
WILLARD- THE MAGIC NEVER STOPS...
