I remember posting on FR about this time in 2008 that a McCain yard sign would never cast its shadow on my front lawn. I wasnt going to sit out in November, but I certainly wasnt going to lift a finger for him or show my support in any way. That changed with one helluva fantastic VP pick. Being a big fan of Palin long before he chose her, I was doing cartwheels when he picked her. I was immediately trying to find where I could get McCain/Palin signs, buttons and bumper stickers. And I was donating that very night.
Who I wonder could be Romneys Palin? He better start giving that some deep thought.
Romney’s only way to heal this party, is to in fact nominate: Sarah Palin.
Nothing less will absolve him, and the party establishment, of their slime. Karl Rove’s slime. All of it.
Nothing less.
If Governor Romney is as smart as many claim he is, his “Palin” this year would be the same as Senator McCain’s in 2008!!
Vote Newt then. The only thing we can hope for is a GOP-e vs Conservative blood bath in Tampa. They have to learn they cannot take our votes for granted.
Marco Rubio seems to be the odds on choice...but he has Mormon ties, amazingly enough. But maybe that gives Mitt more reason to pick him. I certainly hope that Palin and Newt have prominent roles in the campaign and that Mitt does not shun them like Gore did Bill Clinton (ultimately to Gore’s disadvantage but our win)
