Who is really doing all this anti-Sarah leaking. Today’s Herald speculates that Mitt Romney’s camp may be responsible for some of the late hits on Governor Palin. The Mittster sent out old friend Eric Fehrnstrom to deny these outrageous reports. From the Herald:
“It’s a completely absurd allegation that is totally divorced from the truth,” Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said.
Is Mitt looking to move Governor Palin out of the way as he salivates after the 2012 Republican nomination? Who knows, but Governor Palin hit back at her tormentors, calling them “jerks”. Good for her!

Here’s an interview on CNN Headline News with the Newsweek reporter who wrote the anti-Palin stories who says Romney aides WERE NOT the source.

Your Honor,
She was treated indignantly during the campaign by the liberal press and Democratic women.
Now the idiots in the McCain campaign are doing some clean up work in an attempt to keep her from coming back.
I hope she returns in 2012. Hopefully as a senator followed by a presidential run. Running with Governor Jingle would put a lot of charisma on the conservative side.
Meanwhile the Republican idiots who manufactured this disaster should be expunged from the congress and replaced by effective candidates.
A conservative cannot pander in competition with his/her liberal competitor. They do it badly. Just stick to conservative principles.
We will see.

The Palin candidacy was a train wreck, they had to literally hunt for someone without beltway baggage, but unfortunately she came with baggage of her own and bought some more for good measure. I think she was treated with kid gloves for such a radiantly stupid and arrogant “politician”. As much as I hate to admit it, there are perfectly acceptable smart republican women out there and Palin’s consideration for 2012 insults everyone of them. I will be very happy when Palin drops off the media radar.

Romney is an extremely shrewd politician. He knows what he’s doing, and I also believe that he is the one behind these attacks. All of the criticisms are coming from suspiciously “anonymous” sources – they have also been referred to as “low-level staffers.” I highly doubt that McCain’s own people would be leaking this information simply because of the fact that it makes McCain look bad as well since he was the one who picked her. If they continue doing this, I think Palin will begin to receive some sympathy support from alot of people. That’s how this would probably end up backfiring.
Here’s my early prediction for the 2012 GOP field:
– Mitt Romney (Romney will be the early frontrunner and the favorite to win the nomination, since the person who was the runner-up in the previous GOP primary campaign tends to pick up the banner the next time around.)
– Sarah Palin (She clearly loved and savored her time on the 2008 campaign trail, and will probably enjoy alot of support from blue collar conservatives – she may make a Romney/Palin contest into a Clinton/Obama kind of race where the primary season goes on far longer than expected, but I highly expect Romney to win in the end.)
– Mike Huckabee (Huckabee will split the South with Jindal, just as Jackson and Gore did in 1988 – I think he’s past his prime as a presidential contender and will probably be defeated in early states like SC by Jindal.)
– Bobby Jindal (Jindal is the main rising GOP star in the party – he’ll only be 40 in 2012, and will be the first Indian-American candidate for president in American history – he’ll be very popular among social conservatives and will probably beat Huckabee in the South. Personally, I predict a Romney-Jindal GOP ticket in 2012.)
– Tim Pawlenty (Pawlenty is a conservative who has been able to win in a very blue state – Minnesota. However, he didn’t flip flop to get there like Romney. He’ll be popular with social conservatives, and may just end up being the dark horse candidate that emerges as the most credible challenger to Romney’s nomination.)
– Rudy Giuliani (He was the 2008 GOP convention keynote speaker, and is on every talk show / news program imaginable – he will probably try to redeem himself after ’08 and throw everything he has into Iowa and New Hampshire in ’12.)
– Ron Paul (He’ll probably be drafted into the race by his crazy cult of supporters, even though he’ll be 77 in 2012.)

who ever runs, I hope the hell it doesn’t before 6 months before the election. I couldn’t stand another two year marathon like we just ran through.
Now let me tell you why your premature in your predictive analysis. The Republican party is in shambles. The idiots who undermined the Grand Old party are still in power. The leadership must be dumped and new people installed.
Sarah palin is bright but needs some experience to deal with the effete snobs occupying the east coast. Her and Gov Jindal are the the future among others.
The GOP needs reassembling.
I judge Romney to be damaged goods at this time.

I think Sarah Palin reached her peak during the RNC Convention. After that, everything went downhill. Palin’s rhetoric about Joe Six-Pack, Miss Congeniality, Joe the Plumber, “palling around with terrorists”, radical socialists, blah, blah, blah, all were below the values of the Republican Party. Her negativites far surpassed and were lost in her stump speeches. Palin was really a pitbull with lipstick, makeup, Saks Fifth Avenue clothing, 5 inch heels and Louis Vittan handbags. I personally hope she stays in Alaska and has fun killing and eating mooseburgers!!!!! How Gross.

There’s a difference between an occasional gaffe (Biden), and an even rarer moment of coherence (Palin). Have you not been attuned to what’s now coming out in the news about how simply, er, ‘uninformed’ the woman is?
The best thing that happened is that McCain was an idiot for selecting her, and she lost the election for them (now perhaps she can fade once again into the Alaskan bedrock from whence she came). However, that ‘could’ have been the second best thing that happened had they instead allowed her to have more than a single prepped debate from which she could stand out to the world (or the small remaining fraction of unaware people) as the idiot she is…

Every time I turn on Cable, there’s Palin. She has not left. She will never leave. She is like a growing and never ending cancer. God has told her to go through an open door even though the American people have slammed it tightly shut. Now she wants to help Barack Obama’s campaign committee. She has told Wolf Blitzer that the President-Elect is responsible for her son’s life. If this wasn’t so tragic, it would be funny. President Bush/V.P. Cheney are still in charge. Jules, please inform Governor Palin to go home and never show her face in the lower 48 again and bring Joe, the unlicensed Plumber with her. Thank you, Jules. Amen

From MSNBC (in the tank for OBAMA) had this report, “David Shuster, an anchor for the cable news network, said on air Monday that Martin Eisenstadt, a McCain policy adviser, had come forth and identified himself as the source of a Fox News Channel story saying Palin had mistakenly believed Africa was a country instead of a continent.”
Turns out this person who claims to be a senior fellow at the Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy does not exist nor does the institution itself.
So much for the Methuen Moonbats who chose to repeat the rumors as fact to satisfy their hate of everythin Republican.

Um Jules, You should go back and research a little bit more. The fictitious Eisenstadt was not the ‘actual’ source of the story that she didn’t know that Africa was a continent.
In fact, your flaky dream date has even verified that there was some discussion about Africa, as well as about NAFTA, but claims as always, that what she said was taken out of context.
I concur with L. Done. Now that the election is over,every time I see or hear her continue to attempt to satiate her insatiable ego, I struggle to hold back my vomit. On the plus side, she continues to provide fodder for Tina Fey.

I really do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings concerning the self-proclaimed Republican candidate for 2012. But Sarah Palin is a global disaster. She really is an empty-suited, empty-headed, poor example for a candidate for public office. If this is the best the Republican party can do, well, you know the rest; the death of the Republican party!
As far as her volunteering to help the President-Elect, “no way, no chance, no Palin” and no two-faced hypocrites or governors suffering from ‘delusions of grandeur’ need apply.
