Sarah Palin On Mitt Romney's Conservatism: 'I'm Not Convinced'

 

For me at least its a positive for Romney. I wouldn't want to see him too conservative and I like the fact that Obama isn't popular with the fringe left as well. Despite what HH would have us believe, Obama is not even close to being the red, pinko, socialist commie he's painted as.

 

The amount of Bush holdovers in his cabinet as well as appointees that are mainstream (Fed Chief, etc.) suggests otherwise. One of the Republican candidates was his Ambassador to China!

An Obama/Hillary Clinton ticket would win hands down. The Dem base would come out. The downside is that it would also get the Republican base out but the centrists would stick with that ticket I think. Biden won't step down though, he's enjoying being one breath away from the Presidency too much.

New Pew survey: Among Republicans, Santorum in statistical dead heat with Romney

 

The Republican base knows Romney will get the nomination but they don't like it. This nomination process is making Romney look weak and vulnerable. Doesn't bode well for a national challenge.

If Santorum gets nominated it's secure win for Obama. Santorum is just too far right for the independent voters - and most women won't vote for him anyway (he wrote that women should stay at home, no abortion even the women got raped, e.g.)

I was talking about this with some friends over the weekend. The Republicans are destroying each other, as Obama sits on the sidelines and watches. Helluva way to run a campaign.

Pretty much SOP for the incumbent when the opposition candidates can't get their ducks in a row.

I believe the US right is too deeply divided to agree on a viable candidate for many years to come. The McCain/Palin ticket was probably better than anything they will come up with this election.

 

The bottom line, of course, is that Obama isn't as bad as the corporate media try make him out.

Even the worse thing I've heard some of our Republicans say about him is that he uses a Teleprompter. B)

Even if Romney had smooth sailing, I don't think he could match Obama. Obama has what is reported to be the biggest war chest in history. Not surprising since he was married to Wall Street money since '08 and then other industries joined in.

 

Also, the tired old mantra of Republicans calling ANY Democrat in the white house a socialist just doesn't resonate with the average American since they don't see it. I've yet to meet any independent or moderate Republican who thinks Obama is a socialist. Incompetent is the word most often used but not ideologically far left.

 

Romney isn't liked by many in his own party. That's a huge problem. I have a feeling a lot of Republicans will stay home. Romney's only hope is to get a VP who will ignite things and Santorum may do it for him as he brings two huge plusses. 1. His conservatism which may bring out the base and 2. Pennsylvania. Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are HUGE. A Santorum ticket would give him Michigan and Pennsylvania. Romney has a great chance of getting Florida.
