How do you solve a problem like Sarah? Romney misses out in stand-off with loose cannon diva
The London Daily Mail ^ | July 16, 2012 | Daniel Bates

She is the Tea Party diva who lit up the 2008 Presidential campaign.

But four years later Mitt Romney is facing one of the most vexing questions of his campaign: what to do with Sarah Palin?

In an increasingly uncomfortable stand-off, he has not invited her to next month’s Republican national convention whilst she has failed to give him her full backing.

Palin has also not appeared with the Romney on the campaign trail and prefers to use her Facebook page to bash Barack Obama.

The result is that the Republican presidential candidate is left without the endorsement of a woman who can energise his base in a way he can only dream of.

The former Massachusetts governor - who is so emotionally cold friends reportedly call him ‘Tin Man’ - is facing nagging questions about how he can appeal to the Tea Party which still feels he is a left wing flip flopper.

Palin would fill that role but would constantly be in danger of going rogue - and not sticking to the carefully crafted scripts....

Right.

I'll give you points for continuing to scream and
claw at the walls while falling into the FAIL pit.

How in the H did these CINO (McCain) and CINO du jour (Mittens) get nominated? It's unexplainable.

Somehow, for whatever reason, God seems to have ordained that Barak Obama, the Socialist lover of government tyranny and hater of our free Constitutional Republic would be elected TWICE.

Jesus is coming soon.

Not if enough people vote for the moderate, old-school Ripon Republican versus the National Socialist anti-AmeriKKKan destroyer. There’s no Reagan or Palin to vote for. That’s the way things turned out. I’m not going to waste my vote on a third party candidate who has about as much chance as I have of being president!

In Case you missed it.....Sarah still has a huge following of political voters that take her endorsements (see how she turns congressional candidates into winners overnight) thats feel like she represents them when she is attacked by the RINOs and Left and that also come out actually to hear her......... Scarbrough doesn’t have nor had that ability nationwide but sits there on MSNBC

All that's great except for one thing. Somehow this moderate, old-school Ripon Republican had enough wits to win the Republican nomination but is so far witless and being outwitted by a sitting-duck Obama who's probably the easiest target in the history of Presidential races. Apparently there are enough people out there who don't realize how bad Obama is and so far Romney's not doing a lot to change their minds because unbelievably he's letting sitting-duck Obama set the tone and agenda of the debate. I know the MSM is Obama’s reelection committee, but Romney has been and will be on the air and so far, he’s busy defending himself when the ONLY thing he should be doing is relentlessly attacking Obama like Patton's third army blitzing through Gemany.

This election should be NOTHING except OBAMA constantly defending himself and his miserable record.

Good choice of words.

Sadly, I expect her to cave and still not get the invite.

Sadly, I agree with you. And as she continues to give ground, her value to conservatives, if she is not careful, will decrease.

WHAT? Don't blame God for what those drawn to evil have done. People makes their own choice by what is in them - God doesn't control them.

Is JESUS coming soon - could be as evil is now on both sides of the aisle, we always had a group who did the right thing. Now they have dropped like flies bowing to evil. Voters dropped their values they claimed they had - faithless! Without faith, no one can please God. They are more concerned w/pleasing the GOP and godless Romney!

If Obama wins it is the GOPs fault, not ours. This was the GOPs election to lose and they vomit up the one guy who will not win. Mitt is counting on people tossing out their values and voting for him anyway - just like you are doing.

People like you are why we got Mittens rather than a conservative in the first place.

Why looking for a snake sandwich?

Go to the polls in November and the snake will be waiting for you so he can inject his more of his poison into America.

If you do politics and you consider an attractive, intelligent, compelling political figure and his or her motivated supporters a “problem”, you deserve failure.

Are you always this clueless?

Obama does not I exist and his smile started 4 years ago when mitt started his dirty work against SARAH and lying about Newt this campaign . So obama smile is from his blood brother's doing! Obama wouldn't have a chance with either Sarah or Newt as his opponent and AMERICA would! All of obama's junk would be out!

Now YOU keep that smile on obama's face, he's ready for a one punch knockout! You should be ashamed of yourself, but too clueless to know it

Divide what? TWO LIBERALS on the ticket! You need the well wishes when you wake up from your self inducing coma and face reality!

That’s it! The GOP won’t listen to them and romney could give a flip, they already embraced him through fear - so he own’s them now. So they attack or mock those who won’t bow to evil like they have. Wusses!
