Romney/Palin 2012

It just occurred to me... By the time Romney wins this thing the far-Rush right will hate the guy. Who could possibly excite the loons behind a Romney candidacy??

As a personal comment let me add, lol.

not that they have to. Reagan and Bush were hardly friendly, but neither of them were such media whores as Palin or would be such a political loose cannon.

asking Christie or the Governor from VA to run with him . . . I can't see Sarah Palin.

Look - he may very well be the real life Thurston Howell - I don't agree with his political philosophy but . . .

* He's not dumb
* He's not ignorant
* He's well traveled
* He's articulate and polished


I think he'd anally rend and torture himself with a hot fireplace poker before he would select that silly twit from Alaskastan.

Obama & Clinton could put aside their differences in 2009. Republicans hold grudges too long to play kiss and make up at their convention.
