Ben Smith at Politico quotes Mitt Romney in regards to Governor Palin's selection for Time's "100 Most Influential" list:
KING: As you launch this effort, anyone who picks up "Time" magazine this week and sees the 100 most influential people, will see two Republicans in that magazine. They'll see Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh. Is that helpful, hurtful, indifferent?[...]
ROMNEY: John, I'd like to have a lot more influential Republicans. I think there are a lot more influential Republicans than that would suggest. But was that the issue on the most beautiful people or the most influential people? I'm not sure. If it's the most beautiful, I understand. We're not real cute.

Romney is a gentleman with a lot of character and class- particularly when compared to what we're stuck with no. He said nothing offensive whatsoever, and IMO it is ridiculous to see some sort of wrong. So move-along people... there's nothing going on here, only more manipulation from the left. The current abhorrent situation in Washington calls for GOP party unity, not playing into Obama's hands by starting the battles of the Republican primary two years early.
Team Obama and the DNC have been employing despicable Alinsky-esque divide-and-conquer/character assassination techniques for months now... stoking fake "fights" like Rush vs. Steele, plus ceaseless ridicule of Jindal, Palin, even shameful distortion of the legacy of Ronald Reagan. Clearly, the strategy is to eliminate GOP rallying points and philosophical framework for 2010/12.
What's been done to Palin and her family by the MSM is beyond-the-pale. But the left is so self-righteous, ala USSR, that they feel any means justify the ends... even editing her interviews disingenuously, digging through her closet, or and attacking her children in the national media. If she's so silly and irrelevant, why the obsession?
Gov. Sarah Palin has been highly successful in life while completely ignoring the left-wing feminist model... this helps to explain the extra dose of venom in the attacks. She turns their fantasy world on it's head, and with a smile.
Dems are plenty afraid of Palin coming-back at them in 2012 with a dynamic and complementary VP like Bobby Jindal... or visa versa. And they have plenty of reason to fear her-
Palin is the most popular governor in the country; her 60+% approval rating exceeds that of the MSM-pumped Obama... are all those people up there idiots?
Alaska was a pretty corrupt system until she stepped in. Her reforms took on entrenched politicians (inc. Republicans), a mafioso-style union boss, and Big Oil.
Wouldn't it have been nice if Obama had been principled and brave enough to confront the corrupt Chicago Democratic Machine?
Shady political operators like Tony Rezko?
Racist preachers?
Instead of doing business with every last one of them?
Go get em, Sarah- and don't mind the press, nobody will be listening to them anymore after the pending Obamamania implosion.
