You should still be laughing, i'd wager that most Republicans DO NOT want Palin running the show. Romney's your guy, for better or worse.

Romney is running a smart campaign, Obama is in a panic right now, and they should be. At this stage of the campaign the incumbent should be up 5 - 8 points. Not only that but nothing they are doing is affecting the numbers at all. Romney is teflon and nothing is sticking. Romneys numbers numbers don't even matter much until around labor day, the last 8 weeks will decide the election and he will either pull ahead then or Obama will get a surge. This is all just a lot of noise right now, don't let the kiddie bloggers fool ya, they are just desperate for a story. Take the VP thing, do some research on when the last 10 or so VP's were announced formally, they sure as hell were not announced in July LOL

Romney is doing just fine. His campaign spending won't really start until he names the V.P. and then after the convention.

He is suckering Barack Obama in an epic way right now similar to what Ali did to Forman... "Rope a Dope". The only thing holding Barack Obama up above 40% favorability is his personal "likeability" and Romney is allowing Barack Obama to squander that as Barack Obama lies, takes Executive Privileges, raises taxes, and tells small business owners that they are not responsible for their businesses success.

Romney is going to absolutely destroy Barack Obama in November. Palin is doing what she does well, she is rallying the Conservative and TEA Party base and pushing true Conservative Agenda. I am 100% with her on spending, Crony Capitalism, and taking on the establishment. Sarah will 100% endorse Mitt Romney.

The reason for this is that she hasn't endorsed Romney at all. The fact is that Romney is losing his base and he can't energize it at all, especially conservatives to come out swinging for him. On the other hand, Palin can. She draws massive crowds and she invokes patriotism and enthusiasm in her speeches that stimulates the GOP, conservative base and independents. The proof is evident during the mid term elections when she endorsed conservative candidates on the campaign trail and went on the attack against Obama in a vicious fashion. She hammered him over shutting rig production down during the BP oil spill and hammered him over 'Death Panels' in his 'Affordable Care Act' law. It resonated with voters and many of her endorsements won. Now this could happen at the convention. Romney is severely wounded and conservatives and hardcore GOP voters are not impressed. Conservative talk show hosts like Mark Levin, Rush, Michael Savage and Sean Hannity are upset with Romney's refusal to go on the offensive against Obama and state he isn't even trying to fight back against Obama's attacks. Palin is fully vetted and is not afraid to attack Obama on any issue. She resonates because she attacks 'crony capitalism' and 'corruption', something she did in Alaska as governor giving her a 90% approval rating. If she does this at the convention like Eisenhower did it against wounded favorite Robert Taft at the GOP convention years ago in 1952, she has my support. She can take Romney, reenergize the party and beat Obama for the Presidency just like she did in Alaska going up agaist two powerful politicians named Governor Tony Knowles, a incumbent and Governor Frank Murkowski beating them both while being outspent.

Is there a link, not that I don't believe you, but I would like to consider the source. (so to speak)

Here is a related story just came out. Must be a librull conspiracy in the GOP.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/w...083953582.html

Mitt Romney currently has no plans to give Sarah Palin a role at the 2012 Republican National Convention. In fact, John McCain's 2008 running mate hasn't even been invited to the GOP soiree in Tampa, reports Newsweek's Peter J. Boyer.

"Palin would certainly light up the base at the convention … but a jolt of Palin at Romney's convention seems most unlikely," Boyer writes. "The Romney campaign prides itself on a slavish adherence to script, and Palin cannot be trusted to avoid the impulse to go rogue."



Palin herself seems to be taking the apparent snub in stride. "What can I say?" she told the magazine in an email from Alaska. "I'm sure I'm not the only one accepting consequences for calling out both sides of the aisle for spending too much money, putting us on the road to bankruptcy, and engaging in crony capitalism.

"In accepting those consequences" she added, "one must remember this isn't Sadie Hawkins and you don't invite yourself and a date to the Big Dance."

Politico notes that Palin wouldn't be the first former vice-presidential candidate to be shunned by her party at its next convention. The last time it happened? John Edwards in 2008.

Why should Romney attack now? Why not wait until closer to the election when it will "stick better"? Palin should never have been the VP pick for McCain, not because she isn't good, but because McCain was a bad pick and ruined her chances. people have laughed at her far too often to remove the smear. Romney has shown he can attack...remember Gingrich and santorun, they are still licking their wounds. He simply waits until the proper time and that isn't today but right after he is officially nominated.

You are such a Troll...Romney has a bigger pair than you ever had, he's simply a gentleman and we could use a gentleman in The White House. We've had far too many clowns since Reagan, our last gentleman president!

Smedley; I suspect this was an organized leak and not only will she be invited, will get a prime time speaker's slot and endorse Romney when it most counts. Romney is going to need "new faces" in the WH, if elected and she will be part of it, if she wants...

Yeah, You may be correct about this,
Would really be surprised if they did not bring her out to speak during the GOP convention.
