Palin's and Romney's roles in 2012?

Mitt Romney is the right choice. Man, just listen to what he is saying when he says it. He's right on almost everytime.

Vote Mitt.

too bad ALL Americans have to suffer through the next few years with a Prez that is completely out of his league. Running the largest economy in the world with absolutely no experience and surrounded by people who pretty much have never had real jobs. Yes, most liberals are wards of the welfare mentality or spend their lives criticizing people who work and run businesses.

Mitt would have made a huge difference. There would not have been one cent spent on bankrupt automakers or financial institutions that were corrupted by federal regulators.

Too BAD...next time

Mitt Romney is the wrong choice. Man, just listen to what he is saying when he says it. He's wrong on almost everything.

Mitt Romney raised the capital gains tax. Mitt Romney signed a ban on assualt weapons. Mitt Romney funded the govenor's coalition on gay youth. Mitt Romney endorsed the Paul Tsongas Presidential Campaign. Ann Romney donated $500 to the Massachusetts Planned Parenthood. George Romney walked out on Barry Goldwater's convention speech.

Mitt Romney is the wrong man and has no place amoung conservatives. Sarah Palin is head and shoulders above this liberal.

Romney is the most articulate, well spoken and most experienced candidate of either party. He has excellent business/economic recovery experience (something that we could really use in the White house right now!) and is one of the only Republicans that could rip Obama apart in a debate without appearing mean. I hope Americans get it right next time and can ignore the anti-Christian/Morman Liberal Media hate machine!

Talk to me about this in two or three years. Thanks.

RE: Wrong Choice. Many conservatives in Alaska familiar with how she actually governs, do not consider Sarah a conservative. It is probably good that she quit, there is less record to recreate, distort or make up.

Americans would do no wrong backing Mitt Romney, but sadly, due to the immense and unfair left-wing media groups in America, e.g. ABC network and Salt Lake Tribune to name just two, a Mormon stands little chance of being voted into power. What a positive contribution Romney could make if only Americans could see through the Anti-Mormon slime oozing from much of their media.

Romney is much more intelligent than Palin. No contest if these are the two front-runners for 2012. Romney justs needs to keep his name out there, and this sort of article does the trick. Thanks, Sarah Palin, even if you were a bad VP choice.

Romney would have been the best choice to fix this economy hands down.

Does she talk the talk or walk the walk?

I read about a week ago that Alaska accepted about twenty four million dollars from the
federal government for an airport for a village of 46 people about 300 miles west of Faitbanks.

In my opinion this sounds like another "Bridge to no where"

In one breath she talks against actions like this and it the next breath she accepts pork barrel projects with out a peep.

Does this seem a little inconsistent? Or am I suppose to not mention it because she is an evangelic conservative? By the way did we ever hear her thoughts about Mormonism and Romney?

Sure, I am a conservative and REALLY like Palin, but I also am a pragmatist and realize that she has no chance in a general presidential election. Although I REALLY like her and how she defends herself, she really did not handle some of her interviews well and showed her inexperience on the national stage.

Despite the assertions of Mr. Wrong Choice's previous posting, Romney is more palatable across the political spectrum and that is what it will take to win the election. Some Republicans crossed the aisle to vote for Obama since they did not like McCain so we deserve what we are now getting.

The country and its economy would have been in much better shape having Romney as president in order to provide the checks and balances on a runaway democratic congress.

Please don't blame it all on Bush. Yes, he did things that didn't make me happy, but he also had to deal with a Democrat-controlled Congress for the last two years of his presidency. Democrats do share in this mess and now own it by their scandalous spending of the past 6 months.

Go Mitt!

The end result is Romney is mormon. People don't trust mormons and that will be his downfall.

People will not elect a Mormon. They will also not elect Sarah Palin. The Republican party is full of non-conservatives and a lot of conservatives will not donate to the party because of it. There is precious little time to save the day, but until we begin to live the principles we tout, we are toast.

about Palin. The absolute hatred the media and the left have for her must mean they see something that scares them. I will probably take a closer look.

Palin is a political gimmick that is now taking herself way too seriously.

There is precedent for American voters to elect men to presidency after a single term as a governor

Tildennominated for presidency1876after one term as New York governor

Clevelandwon presidency1884after one term as New York governor

McKinleywon presidency 1896 after one term as Ohio governor

T Rooseveltwon vice presidency1900after one term as New York governor Then assumed presidency

Wilsonwon presidency1912after part term as New Jersey governor

Coolidgewon vice presidency1920after one term as MA governor Then assumed presidency

F Rooseveltwon presidency1932after two terms as New York governor

Deweynominated for presidency1944after one term as New York governor

Rockefellerran for presidency1960after part term as New York governor

Reaganran for presidency1968after part term as California governor

Carterwon presidency1976after one term as Georgia governor

None of them resigned governorship whining about the unblinking glare of negative publicity and the tedium of office.

Most Alaskans are conservative to the point that they are "Ron Paul leaning" Liberterians. They don't want the governement in their lives. They resent the fed. This is why Sarah Palin IS popular amoung conservatives in Alaska.

Mitt Romney is just too liberal.

The way the dems are abusing power and Obama continues to break all his campaign promises weekly, even Elmer Fud could win the election in '12. Thanks dems for showing in just a few short months how utterly shallow and greedy your leadership is. Tax evasionist anyone for a cabinet seat?

If Romney's smart, he'll lay low for another year at least, jumping in to help conservatives get elected in 2010. If Sarah Palin's smart, she'll have a rational explanation for what she just did -- so far, it hasn't been all that great, even though I really, really like her. For anyone who thinks Romney's a liberal, turn to your left and shake hands with Atilla the Hun.

I am watching the Republican Party, the party of the rich and privileged, implode--and I am thoroughly enjoying it. You've got Mitt "I have no core values" Romeny and Sarah "the good Lord never blessed me with a brain" Palin both running for president. Both have very unfavorable ratings with the general public. Pres. Obama is guareenteed a second term! Thanks goodness!
