* Romney supporter grasping at straws *

I think sooner or later, people are going to be fatigued with seeing Palin and Huckabee on television all the time.

Its entirely possible that by 2012, people will be tired of seeing Huckabee and Palin on television all the freakin time.

What I have said about too much coverage of Palin will result in people getting tired of her being on television all the time has come true:

Nearly one-in-five Republicans (18%) say they paid very close attention to news about Palin and her new book, “Going Rogue,” compared with 11% of independents and just 3% of Democrats. Yet small percentages in all three groups say this was the story they followed most closely (5% among Republicans, 1% among Democrats, 2% among independents).

Overall, the proportion saying they are hearing too much about Palin has risen from 38% in July to 52% currently. Virtually all of the increase has come among Democrats and independents. Fully 72% of Democrats say they are hearing too much about Palin, up from 45% in July. Half of independents express this view, up more modestly from 38% four months ago.

Republicans’ views about the amount of coverage of Palin have changed very little from July. As was the case at that time, nearly half of Republicans (48%) say they are hearing the right amount about Palin; 29% say they are hearing too much about the former Alaska governor while 15% say they are hearing too little.

Source.

Palin “fevah” is now Palin fatigue.

The GOP nominee will have the silver wind of the liberty movement at his back.

He’ll be a Palin or Jim DeMint type. Someone who connects with the WalMart folks. The david frums and peggy noonans can stick it – they are irrelevant.

no. I like Rudy, but much better to have two strong conservatives. Reagan gave us Bush…ick.

They’re pals. Both tough on foreign policy, and while she would get the heartland and the south, he could garner the east and west coast votes.

While Rudy is a social liberal, he’s not so stupid as to alienate the people by jamming that kind of agenda down their throats – he said he would leave it up to the states to decide on abortion, marriage, etc… and that’s fine with me, a social conservative.

Rudy said he’s not running for governor of NY, I believe, so his running card is open. I think it’s a winning ticket and a possibility.

People forget that Mitt Romney has a book coming out in March of 2010.

My, how could we have forgotten…

Nice try, but no sale. You can troll with someone else because I think you and I have passed the threshold for productive conversation.

mistythestripper on November 23, 2009 at 11:26 PM

Maybe you should learn the definition of “troll”.

I seriously looked at Huck, and gave him a fair shake…and found him to be just as liberal as Romney, only I found him to be completely unworthy of my vote as I don’t vote for those who are petty and use religion and class envy as weapons.

Conservative Voice on November 24, 2009 at 1:16 AM

I wasn’t crazy about the huck running traffic for Mccain like he was his butt buddy. Wasn’t crazy about the anti-mormon stuff coming from his supporters.
I’m not all that crazy about him being silent on the NY23 election. I am not that crazy about him not challenging Blanch Lincoln and putting pressure on her.
He has this weakness about him that we just don’t need. Like his stupid answer for amnesty (we are better than that blah blah)

I can live without Romney and I can live without Pawlenty.
I want Ann Coulter to run really, someone who will just attack. Liberalism has to be defeated not reasoned with

/sarcasm

If she were to run and win. And if he would accept the position if offered.

If the politician is truly repentant and works double hard to fix it. Saul who turned to Paul comes to mind.

Conservative Samizdat on November 24, 2009 at 1:38 PM
While I agree that timing is important, so is consistency, esp. with regards to Romney as he has an uphill battle to prove he doesn’t just say things to get elected. He needs to say the hard things when they are hard to be taken seriously.

All I know is this, as I finish up Sarah Palin’s incredible book, one thing is quite clear, the more people read her book, the less anyone else will matter.
gary4205 on November 23, 2009 at 7:35 PM

I’m halfway through Sarah’s book and I am impressed with her political savvy.

People forget that Mitt Romney has a book coming out in March of 2010.

And while the release of that book is far away, I think people ought to wait and see what Mitt says in his book.

I am 100% confident that he will address the issue of healthcare in his book. It will remain to be see what he says? Will he admit it was a mistake or will he continue to support it? Maybe he will give us additional information about what happened with his plan. Who knows!?

But I think people ought to with hold judgment about Romney until 2012. If you can’t wait until then, just wait and see what he says in his book.

Mitt’s too classy to mix it up with or try to compete with Palin. Timing is important and he’s saving his face time.

PaCadle on November 23, 2009 at 8:12 PM

Mitt Romney will be out in the public eye when that book comes out and you will be seeing him all over the news promoting his book.

But don’t count Mitt Romney out simply because he’s not in the public eye like Palin or Huckster.

Its like Obama with his press conferences. Pretty soon, people are just tired of seeing him on televison all the time. I think sooner or later, people are going to be fatigued with seeing Palin and Huckabee on television all the time.

Its entirely possible that by 2012, people will be tired of seeing Huckabee and Palin on television all the freakin time.

Right now, he’s laying low. Timing is important and he’s saving his face time. He’s not going to blow his face time all at once. Instead, he spending his face time wisely and making his television appearances count.

Mitt Romney/Michelle Bachman ‘12

Snicker_Snort on November 24, 2009 at 2:26 AM

Personally, I like Bachman more than I like Palin.

A Romney/Bachman ticket would be AWESOME!

scotash on November 24, 2009 at 2:24 AM

Your argument seems to be, Reagan made some mistakes and he did great. Mitt has made some whoppers, therefore he should be terrific, too. Really, is that the best you can say for Romney?

Look, if Mittens was President right now, national Romneycare would be a done deal and many of us would be looking for a free society to emigrate to. Why on Earth should a conservative support an early proponent of socialized medicine?

Comparing Sarah Palin to Ronald Reagan is beyond absurd. There is no comparison.

themisnamedrightwinger on November 23, 2009 at 10:38 PM

Yeah, I am sure you were a big RR fan/

Exactly…you have to make waves and swing hard and mean it.

Wealth does not equal elite. You were right in your assessment that Romney is not coming out strong to support conservatives…but is playing it safe. He’s become chewed gum that has been in the mouth too long.

He needs to come out strong against Obamacare…that is what is killing him more than anything.

America will be a third world country starting 2015.

…

Then an All-American woman named Sarah Palin will save the day by 2016.

By 2023, America will return again to greatness.

>>>>>

2009-2016 will be called the Age of Tribulation.

That’s my worst but hopeful scenario. Knowing how incompetent the dufus in the WH is, we do not have enough means to last until 2016.

If people want to end their tribulation … THEY BETTER OPEN UP THEIR EYES “NOW” AND …. THINK …. AND ACT QUICKLY.

Also, I find it ridiculous that so many view Romney as part of the elite. Romney has held 1 elected office in his ENTIRE LIFE. Romney may be doing a lot of fundraisers for other republicans now, and a lot of republicans in Congress may value Mitt’s opinion, but that isn’t a bad thing. Mitt is just doing what he thinks is best for the country and the republican party. It’s fine if you disagree with him, but he is definitely not some republican elite RINO that some of you paint him out to be. He is Mitt Romney…nothing more…nothing less.
