Romney fundraiser to rich donors: You don’t want a Huckabee/Palin ticket at a brokered convention, do you?
posted at 4:35 pm on April 3, 2012 by Allahpundit
Are New York’s Republican glitterati really such panicky chumps that this longer-than-longshot scenario was enough to get them to toss bags of money at Mitt? C’mon.
[O]n March 14 and 15, Romney had raised over $3 million in New York and Connecticut. … The Romney campaign had a clever pitch for the event. Schmoozing with his money pals before the events, a Romney fund-raiser pointed out that “slightly more than half the delegates” to the GOP convention at Tampa “are evangelicals.” These true-believer conservatives are averse not only to Romney but to semi-reasonable types like Chris Christie and Mitch Daniels. As a result, said this fund-raiser, the “responsible Republican guys” are “starting to realize” that at a brokered convention “it’s not going to be Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush and Paul Ryan, a ticket they could really love. It’s probably Huckabee-Palin or Palin-Huckabee.” That was enough to scare the Wall Street crowd into getting out their checkbooks.
That’s from the new Mike Allen/Evan Thomas e-book on the campaign. Point one: Why would evangelicals demand Huckabee or Palin when they could nominate Santorum? Given the odds against him now, it’d be a genuine accomplishment if he managed to hold Romney below a clear majority of delegates before the convention. He’ll be debate-tested and trail-honed, and needless to say, he’s the gold standard on “values” for social cons. Why jettison him for Huck or Sarahcuda, each of whom is more of a media presence at this point than a political one?
Point two: Last I checked, evangelicals want to beat Obama as badly as non-evangelicals do. They’re not going to roll the dice on anyone whose electability is questionable, especially since a dark-horse nominee would have just two months to boost his/her favorables before election day. That’s a major obstacle for Palin even though she remains very popular within the party. It’s less of a problem for Huckabee, who’s also popular among Republicans and came out of the 2008 campaign with far less media damage to his image than Palin. Popular or no, though, he has no campaign operation and famously doesn’t enjoy raising money. On what planet does it make more sense for an Obama-hating Christian delegate to hand him the keys to the campaign instead of holding their nose and taking their chances with Romney? Maybe, if there was some sort of serious floor revolt in Tampa, Mitt could be pressured to put Huck on the ticket — that’d actually be a nice regional/religious/class balance — but the only reason to gamble hugely on a dark-horse nominee would be if the convention wanted to bet the election on a supremely important principle like entitlement reform and balancing the budget. That might justify nominating Christie or Ryan or Daniels. But Huck?
Never mind all that, though. The piece you need to read to polish this off is Ryan Lizza’s delegate model for the rest of the GOP primaries. According to his calculations, with Romney needing 1,144 for a clear majority, he should finish June with … 1,122. Good news for Huck? Not quite: There’ll be 598 unbound delegates in Tampa, only 22 of whom would have to break for Mitt to wrap thinks up. Exit question: Huckabee/Palin 2016?

They don’t want your vote because when he eventually loses to 0bama, they can turn around and blame you.

“Attacking” equals “martyr complex”? Weird.

This gets better and better. What we’ve been told for years now is a tiny insignificant sliver of a mouth-breathing inbred moron group of the electorate is now devilishly sabotaging poor ol’ Mitt’s candidacy! LOL

Dire Straits on April 3, 2012 at 7:25 PM
OK So let me understand this…… your going to crap all over Romney- up to 1144 ? or all the way up to the convention (and during ???) Making sure the whole world knows how disappointed you are in his unappealingness and unworthiness – enjoy the media turdfest and trashing Mittens in Tampa (making sure he has no “Palin” moment)….and then decide … well I guess I’ll just have vote for him anyways in Nov. – Even though I did the best I could to make him look as unelectable as possible for most of the year.
Is that the game plan ?
FlaMurph on April 3, 2012 at 7:27 PM
If you don’t mind my jumping in here: can you please give me a source your comments about the judicial nominating/confirmation process in Massachusetts? Isn’t it the Governor’s Council, not the Senate, that must consent to judicial appointments? AFAIK, the state legislature doesn’t play a role.
If I am mistaken, I would like to know, so a source would be helpful.
Just Sayin on April 3, 2012 at 7:27 PM

He’s the frikkin’ problem, not rumors inside the RNC by a LSM.

What the f**k is a “Palin moment.”
HerneTheHunter on April 3, 2012 at 7:32 PM
Herne gets the Bushite strategy.
These people don’t want Romney elected. Then they can’t blame Conservatives when things go south in 2013. The Bushies want Jeb in 2016. Only the A$$tard Rombots actually believe that the zombies from American Crossroads are actually behind Mittens 1000%.
Mitt Romney is the world’s biggest fool. You’ll see when the Bush family starts leaking on his a$$ in the fall. His Swiss Accounts. All the hookers his underlings bought with company money. Things get ugly when the Bushies decide to take out someone who is in the way of the Family. They make the Corleones look like Franciscan Monks.
Unfortunately for the Bushies, all the leaking that could be done on Palin has already been done on Palin, so they have to come up with something else. Palin, for her part, has decided to allow the Moderates to have their Viking Funeral and commit ritual suicide at the alter of His Oneness. She doesn’t want to be blamed for the loss the way they tried to blame her for the Gabby Giffords shooting.
That doesn’t mean they won’t try, though.
But yes, Mittens is complete toast. He has the Bushes AND the Alinskyites gunning for him this time out. Hitler could beat this guy.

SauerKraut537 on April 3, 2012 at 7:43 PM
Murph,
Mittens couldn’t have a “Palin Moment” at his convention if Jesus Christ the Righteous came down and tap-danced on the dais with the June Taylor Dancers and asked Jackie Gleason his Bad Self to do the introduction for His Mittness.
Think of a piece of Wonder-Bread in a bowl of warm milk. That’s what the Tampa Convention hall will be like as Mitt gives his Acceptance Speech.

Dire Straits on April 3, 2012 at 7:44 PM

They don’t call Mitt Romney the most hated man in the GOP for nothing. He has lots of enemies that were built up over many a year.
You’ll see that come out in the Fall.

Buy Danish on April 3, 2012 at 7:48 PM
Yes, but this E Book thingy in particular, coming out with this negative campaign gossip, sure is coincidentally unhelpful at this period of the republican primary.
I don’t mind verbally slapping around candidate’s primary supporters, and being slapped around by them in turn, but I draw the line letting Obama media fluffers like “Mike Allen & Evan Thomas” join in the verbal slap fest. I may be a bitter, gun clinging, bible hugging, stranger avoider, but I have standards :)

Yep, I made the same points early in the thread. I am suspicious of anything from the “media” and even if I were to find out it was true, I’d have a problem holding Gov. Romney responsible. I have enough trouble be responsible for what I say, let alone someone else.

Cindy Munford on April 3, 2012 at 8:36 PM
Allahpundit, you came very close to answering your own question.
It is precisely because Huckabee and Palin have superior media skills that they are more desirable than Santorum.
Santorum does not know how to control the media narrative, and the media controls him. For example, Santorum NEVER advocated the banning of all birth control, but the media has been successful in convincing many people that he did.
We need a nominee who is both conservative and who can control the media, rather than vice versa.
ITguy on April 3, 2012 at 8:40 PM
The Romney campaign has alienated millions of conservative voters already. This latest pot shot at the political icons of the working class is just another reason why Mitt will lose in November.
We need a new party by 2016 because republicans are just going to keep churning out these RINO losers.

SauerKraut537 on April 3, 2012 at 9:01 PM
mitt lets the media narrative drive him. Sarah drives the media narrative. you may not like her, but by golly after today, all can see, she CAN handle the “media” They were snarky with her, but in end paid due deference.
We must remain silent no longer. the elites must be overthrown in order for this country to survive.
Grab your pitch forks! on to Tampa.
renalin on April 3, 2012 at 9:03 PM
You only wish. Romney can only win states the Obama will destroy him in. You people wanted that piece of flip flopping scum and because of it we will have 4 more years of Obama.
oldyeller on April 3, 2012 at 9:10 PM
LOL…classic. If she doesn’t appear on an MSM outlet, she’s a coward. If she does, she’s a cow who’s only in it for the money. And this no doubt from someone who’s a follower of a guy who’s worth 9 figures?
ddrintn on April 3, 2012 at 9:11 PM
Looking at Romney’s favorability numbers, I’d say the Romney naysayers here are a bit more representative than the Mitt True Buh-LEEEEVAHS.
ddrintn on April 3, 2012 at 9:14 PM
Wrong, if we have 4 more years of Obama, it will be because of you and people like you who feel you’re gonna teach us a lesson as you cut off your nose to spite your face, and end up getting us Obama by default because of your asinine, childish behavior.
Quit being a baby will ya?
SauerKraut537 on April 3, 2012 at 9:17 PM
Let’s see: if Romney wins, it will be because he won indies and moderates and disaffected Dems. If he loses, it will be because the TrueCons didn’t vote for him. Huh? Seems to me that if he loses it will be because he didn’t get those precious indies etc that he was supposed to get. At least, that’s been the propaganda b.s. for the past 3 years.
ddrintn on April 3, 2012 at 9:20 PM
It’s a snapshot in time ddrintn… Candidates go up and candidates go down, what’s important is at the time of the finish.
SauerKraut537 on April 3, 2012 at 9:22 PM
Romney’s trajectory has been pretty steadily downward. I don’t see any big uptivck anytime soon.
And you and the other Romney pushers really aren’t going to be able to blame a Romney loss on anyone but your own unsellable, amorphous, just-win-baby poll-humping ideology. Romney and his campaign are going to be YOUR baby, not ours.
ddrintn on April 3, 2012 at 9:25 PM
.
Why do I get the feeling you probably felt that same way about McCain 4 yrs ago when his choice of Palin rocked history ?
The more interesting question is- Why don’t you want him to have that opportunity to make some splash ( and yes there is only 1 Sarah) at the RNC ? instead of the turd fight having to listen to loser EgoNewt tell us how conservative he is ?
Obama couldn’t have created a better scenario. Way better than even condomgate that SoCons choked on.
FlaMurph on April 3, 2012 at 9:27 PM
In other words, all the negative’s that have been said by his opponents, and people like yourself, DOES take its toll.
So the poll you’re reading from is one that reflects all the negativity that the far right has been flinging at him. That is all it is and all it proves.
SauerKraut537 on April 3, 2012 at 9:27 PM
Let him try to “make some splash” if he can. As you say, there’s only one Palin and Romney isn’t going to catch that lightning in a bottle this time around, regardless if it’s Rubio or Ryan or anyone else on the horizon.
ddrintn on April 3, 2012 at 9:30 PM
Lookie here, the ‘bot is on the edge of an epiphany! But not all the way there yet. You see, Palin was always responsible for her own negatives. Always her own doing. But the “far right” (whatever THAT is — I can never get a definition) is responsible for Romney’s negatives. Think about that for a little while and get that whole epiphanic gooey caramel goodness.
ddrintn on April 3, 2012 at 9:33 PM
You’re hopeless… and underwhelming.
SauerKraut537 on April 3, 2012 at 9:44 PM
I will reiterate – new political party – NOW. The republican establishment are now officially Whigs. To hell with them all. Party like it’s 1852.
SilverDeth on April 3, 2012 at 9:48 PM
Based on his demeanor and his record of judicial appointments, I believe Kagen retreads are exactly what he will give us. Nothing on this earth will make me show up and vote for Willard Fillmore Romneycare.
SilverDeth on April 3, 2012 at 10:01 PM
Perot redux, and the worst of all possible choices. But knock yourself out wasting your and everybody else’s votes against Obama.
SauerKraut537 on April 3, 2012 at 10:04 PM
I will do everything in my power – and that is considerable given my position in my church and community to see to it that the Democrat Willard Fillmore Romneycare NEVER sees the oval office.
I will not behave, I will not help, and if the republicans insist on shoving a statist up our @sses than by God I will work to see him defeated.
Then I will work hard to form a new conservative political party, BECAUSE THIS ONE IS IRREVOCABLY BROKEN!
SilverDeth on April 3, 2012 at 10:21 PM
Some may. I will die before I will give up mine.
SilverDeth on April 3, 2012 at 10:25 PM
And you broke it by becoming too rigid.
SauerKraut537 on April 3, 2012 at 10:26 PM
Ditto sir.
The Republicans don’t want me, my money, my support, and the support of my family/congregation/workers. That’s what I am taking away from this giant stream of hatred from the Romney camp towards conservatives.
They kicked US out.
Now they can deal with us as enemies.
Let’s get this primary over, loose in November, and then focus on starting a conservative political party folks. This one has become a putrid cesspool for big-city RINOS who sneer at us country bumpkins and our outdated beliefs at every branch.
SilverDeth on April 3, 2012 at 10:36 PM
Bullsh*^. Romney? We’d be LUCKY to get a Kennedy out of that man. Dingy Reid will play Willard like a fiddle.

1: We stare them down – the RINOS are using Obama to play chicken with the conservatives in the party – bow down and obey they snarl. This will involve pain, and possible bloodshed. I blame the Republican establishment for anything that comes out of Obama’s second term – the stains are on their fingers for playing their sick little games in such a dire time.
2: We work to establish a new political party for conservatives.
3: We fight, hopefully only metaphorically, to throw back the horrible result of idiot RINOS and Marxists Democrats running America for so long.

ddrintn on April 3, 2012 at 9:33 PM
Deflection. ddrintn made an excellent point, and you can’t answer it.
ddrintn, the reason the Mittbots hate Palin is because she is a conservative, and they are RINO squishes like their candidate. I sure hope this RINO squish works out better than the last one. His supporters sure aren’t helping to get a positive message out about him.
I take my hat off to the few remaining SANE Romney supporters here. Your numbers are dwindling by the day.
Flame away at me, Mittbots. I won’t be here, but I know it will make you feel so superior to us nose-holding Romney voters. Must suck to be you.
JannyMae on April 3, 2012 at 10:46 PM
If that line of bullsh*t was true you’d not see the conservative uprising you are now.
But instead of “nothing” we got GM bailouts, TARP I, Medicare Part D, Congress caving to King Barry’s Budgets… do I need to continue to list all the money these idiot blue-blood RINOS signed off on as we merrily plod on our way to financial catastrophe?
The republican establishment has turned itself into “the-free-sh*t-army+Jesus.”
Oh goodie. Democrats to the left of me, democrats to the right of me.
Damn right I will take my ball and go home come Nov. I don’t sully myself by supporting monsters. But you damn well better believe I will raise all manner of hell in the interim.

They can try to blame those of us they drove out. They will be met with all the derision that they justly deserve for such a notion.
The conservatives didn’t abandon the RINOS – the RINOS threw us all out.
They wanted it, they got it.

The country will be destroyed, so yeah, you better believe I will be here putting out my cigar on the rombot’s open wounds. After their sneering condensnetion? their months of cut-downs – after their dirty campaign? Hell yes… after Willard Fillmoure Romneycare gets his ass kicked by King Barry Hussein and permanently destroyes the Republican party, I will enjoy whiping my muddy boots on the Rombot’s carpet… for a few weeks anyways… then it will be wartime – hopefully only in a political sense – as we try to save the tattered shreds of our dying nation.
SilverDeth on April 3, 2012 at 11:15 PM
Voting one’s convictions is never wasting a vote. The only way I could waist a vote would be to vote for, and give my approval, of someone I don’t believe in. Like Willard Fillmoure Romnyecare.
That would be wasting a vote – and worse – that could be compromising my principles.
SilverDeth on April 3, 2012 at 11:17 PM
The RINOS broke it by forgetting that becoming the enemy to win is still LOOSING.

RJL on April 4, 2012 at 1:58 AM
Now I know that I’m living in a parallel universe where when I listen to CNN I agree with democrats about Romney. That makes my skin crawl and goes against everything I believe in. I became a republican to vote against democrats – not work with them but defeat them, as one commentator says. And I got involved in politics to get rid of sleazy politicians like Romney. Yet we’re now in this bizarro position of having to pick the lesser of 2 evils – not much difference there (or the better of the 2 democrats in my opinion). I am so ashamed of the republican party and the sordid tactics they’re using against fellow republicans and this horrible position they’re putting a majority of us voters in.
mozalf on April 4, 2012 at 8:27 AM
This is the second major occasion in which the Romney compaign has spat in the faces of evangelicals.
The first occured a few months ago when 150 evangelical leaders met in Texas to vote on endorsing one of the GOP candidates. When the Romney people got up and made their pitch, they blatantly accused these 150 leaders of being anti-Mormon bigots. They ended up endorsing Santorum.
Not even Sarah Palin will get me to vote for Romney if he’s the nominee.
Cheetah1956 on April 4, 2012 at 8:47 AM
What Mitt is really afraid of is a Palin/West challenge at the convention.

Emperor Norton on April 4, 2012 at 10:18 AM
Angryed is no Obama supporter, and you, all by your little lonesome, continue to chase anyone who might be convinced as far away as possible. With no knowledge whatsoever of the person you’re denigrating and with absolutely no evidence, you call people vile names and accuse them of everything from lying to bigotry.
Mormon outreach is a thing to behold, indeed.
Portia46 on April 4, 2012 at 11:04 AM
Two words for this canard: Iowa and Florida.
Romney brought the matches and the tinder and wonders how come his tent is going up in flames. We won’t even mention his Mormon mafia who is doing such a stellar job here at conservative web sites.
Portia46 on April 4, 2012 at 11:09 AM
The “Rominator”? Seriously? You’re resurrecting Arnold? The man who tells us that Obama is a nice guy who is just incompetent? THAT Mitt Romney? They guy who can’t even defend building a house (How about, “Well, at least I’m paying for it, unlike the President, who had a notorious pay for play felon, Tony Rezko, finance his mansion”)
How about Romney explaining that the economy is NOT recovering and the growth has to do with the devalued dollar and that the unemployment figures are bogus and ask one of his audiences to raise their hands if they know ANYONE who has gotten a decent job in the last four years who didn’t bundle money for Obama; and emphasize that it costs a family $15 to feed their kids a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of milk–that’s without the jelly? How about pointing out that Obama telling us it’s world demand for oil that’s affecting prices and in the same speech telling us that not drilling in the US hasn’t a thing to do with the price of gas? How about Romney pointing out that Oil’s profit margin is a whole lot lower than Apple’s? How about Romney pointing out that deductions for buying equipment is not a “subsidy” but the same thing every other industry gets? How come the “brilliant” Romney can’t deliver simple counter-punches to a guy who just makes stuff up? And now this! “Perfect strategery—make sure we destroy Palin and Huckaby along with Gingrich and Santorum…make it as personal and ugly as we can.”
What a perfect putz.
Portia46 on April 4, 2012 at 11:32 AM
