GOP's Palin Problem

With Sarah Palin on her whirlwind book tour, the GOP is facing a problem with their up-and-coming star. For over a year now she has been doing everything she can to stay in the spot light. With all this fame comes a fanatical GOP fanbase that should have the GOP worried for 2012.

Because of the large shift within the GOP to right wing fanaticism, the likelihood of Sara getting the repub nomination has jumped up dramatically. That poses a rather ugly problem because Sarah is 100% unelectable. She will even further alienate moderate conservatives from the GOP party.

We will see where this goes, but this power hungry star will could end up severely damaging the GOP in her quest for the holy grail.

Is Mitt Romney The New John Edwards

While the title might lead you to believe that Romney might be cheating, don't. John Edwards, after his presidential loss with John Kerry, began his 2008 campaign for president the day after the 2004 loss.

In a much similar way, Mitt Romney has been campaigning for the 2012 presidential election ever since he lost back in 2008. Mitt could have carried out his campaign until the end like Hillary or Huckabee. Instead, he saw the writing on the wall and knew he would have another chance in 2012.

From Politico:

"When dozens of former Romney aides and advisers convened on the terrace of Charlie Spies’ fashionable Penn Quarter loft earlier this year on a warm February night, the purpose was ostensibly to help raise money for the Virginia state House race of Romney strategist Barbara Comstock.

But Spies, formerly the Romney campaign’s CFO, wasn’t just hosting a $100 per-head fundraiser. He was also staging a Romney political family reunion, as advertised by his e-mail invitation subject line, “The Romney gang back together,” and the special $50 cut-rate fee for former campaign staffers meant to draw some of the junior aides."

When Romney's staffers get back together to talk shop, something has to be cooking. A bit of advice for Romney though. Don't screw one of your staffers.
