Romney — once a weasel, always a weasel.

And even if he wasn’t, his advocacy of the disaster of health insurance “reform” in Massachusetts is a permanant disqualification.

Well, Morgan, she’s not going to be a real good choice as a candidate if she doesn’t learn how to not sound like an idiot when she’s talking.
Saying that it’s the interviewer’s fault is too weaselly for words.
Palin has to learn to articulate her beliefs on a big stage with bright lights before ANY political party can have her head a national ticket.

With Romney… remember RomneyCare and governed like a liberal.

No thank you.

He’s got nice hair though.

I’ll say “ditto” on what Morgan said.

While the verdict is still out on Sarah Palin, she could be a very good or a very bad choice. How can anyone know that yet?

There are people who watch what policies are implemented and monitor the results, intent on figuring out what’s wise and unwise; and there are other people who analyze the emotional reactions to things, mostly from those they consider to be peers, to see what generates the most positive excitement. Palin is among the rare candidates who manage to bridge that gap, and hold some appeal for both. That’s what Reagan’s real accomplishment was.

Romney? He just has a talent for not messing up too badly. He’s six feet tall, has most of his hair, and can wave. It translates into an ability to morph on the issues without being punished too badly…Palin, on the other hand, has a much stronger ideological identity. Name an issue, and it’s pretty easy to state where she’s going to be on it in eight years.

It’s supposed to be devastating that Katie Couric engineered the talking point that Palin’s a moron — that this managed to take hold. What’s seldom inspected is: Why did the left have to resort to that? They’d much rather have orchestrated something that says Palin’s a warmonger, a homophobe, a typical conservative who wants to banish to an island anyone who isn’t exactly like her. But they had to go the “stupid” route instead. There is much evidence that the left is afraid of her; there is no evidence that they have anything to fear from Romney.

So I know she is a very good choice the way I know it was wise to put Gen. Grant up against the Confederacy, and Gen. Patton up against the Nazis. Choose the champion your enemy honestly fears the most, and don’t look back.

That means that Romney enjoys the aura of knowing what to do in a sick economy. I disagree with that notion, by the way. I’m just saying.

Melissa,

I agree with everything you said except “he’s got the economic turnaround thing going.” Really? What’s that mean?

Romney was for the Wall Street bailouts before he was against them, he called for DC to help the Big 3 automakers when campaigning in Michigan, he supported ethanol subsidies in Iowa, and let’s not forget RomneyCare, which is basically ObamaCare without the public option.

Yet for some reason, Romney is considered an economics whiz.
