Why claim it was somehow secret Romneyites in the campaign who were close enough both to Palin and to reporters to pass on details and rumors, when McCain's own people were doing it?
Occam's razor (also written as Ockham's razor and in Latin lex parsimoniae) is a problem-solving principle devised by William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347). It states that among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. Other, more complicated solutions may ultimately prove correct, but—in the absence of certainty—the fewer assumptions that are made, the better. -- Wikipedia
A story gets started and then it gets taken for fact. There may be a little truth in it -- once Romney's next campaign got started, his people talked down potential rivals as any campaign does, and who knows what some random anonymous source might have said at one point or another -- but not enough truth to sustain the megamyth that keeps growing.
Schmitt and Wallace WERE Romneybots. It’s WHY they sabbed Palin. They had Romney connections prior to McCain.

Our problem here is Rick Perry has hired Steve Schmidt 6 weeks ago to ostensibly help with the Lehmberg problem but in reality as a political operative and all of a sudden Cruz-bashing threads start showing up on FR.
You can be sure Schmidt is behind this. While not being a rabid Perry fan, I could have dealt with him being POTUS until he hired this Sarah-assassin to take out Cruz.
We have, Houston... a new problem.
