Why? Does the author want Romney to lose?

Take a brief look at where the people who won her support and endorsements are today. Are people still hanging onto this idea that Palin is some sort of political super-genius?

Wake up. You fell for a con woman.

Romney just needs to keep doing what he's been doing and waiting for the more popular candidates to flame out.

Not a genius. A gateway to the drooling masses.

Saint Sarah represents a constituency (how or why, I have no idea. But that's not important right now). If you don't think that the Gingrich and Romney campaign are making veiled overtures to her and her crowd, you're insane. They need that base to vote next November, else they'll lose everything they gained in 2010.

Is this the thread where someone will biatch that if you ignore Palin, she'll go away, forgetting that we're coming into an election where people will specifically seek her out for an endorsement?

Yep, I think it is!!!

Only morons care what Sarah Palin has to say about...well, anything.

If one has to pander to morons by kowtowing to Palin to get the GOP nod, that says a lot about the state of the GOP base these days.

They'd have gained even more without that constituency nominating crazies in several key races

"Influential to whom?", I guess, is the follow-up question.

The GOP needs the Tea Party "base" - they're the older, whiter, male-r, Christian-er, less-educated group that enables the older, whiter, richer "establishment" GOP. The 2010 gains were zombie gains, as the GOP saw large increases in turnout (relative to 2008), but of a demographic that has been shrinking as a percentage of the electorate for 30 years.

The Tea Party still likes Sarah Palin. They're still trying to get her to run in Iowa (and probably other places, too. I wonder about Alaska). If she says "Vote Romney", 80% of them will.

I guess not knowing how big the TP is in 2012 is the rub. I don't see them making any sort of gains like they did last year, and if they have to suck it up and Romney's the candidate, I see TP turnout at 30-40% of last year's.

// with Obama at the top of the ticket, I look for better Democratic turnout, too
// I hope they win back the House, but I'm not betting on it

Not in the main stream, but there is definately a lingering pool of narrow-minded, ill-informed, xenophobic "patriots" that would follow any endorsement she gave.

You also have to consider the impact of Bachmann. She's made some statements about the other GOP candidates that are strong enough that they are going to be very hard for her to walk back (frugal socialists) and support the eventual nominee.

I still think there is decent chance of some sort of Tea Party candidate in the general election taking off a few percentage points from the Republicans.

Bingo. She represents that 12-20% that is always doing crazy shiat.
Amendment to ban water? Loses 88% to 12%
Law forcing all people to be sterilizied? Loses 80% to 20%
Proclamation stating slavery was bad? Passes 84% - 16%

You know, shiat that's too crazy to pass/not pass that always seems to have those 12%-25%ers voting the opposite way.
IIRC there was a book about these people or it was on TDS

I would bet a Trump/Palin ticket would pull 10% in the general, because the american electorate is indeed that stupid.

True, however, Bachmann doesn't have Sarah's gravitas (there do not exist quotation marks powerful enough to make that word sarcastic enough to be appropriate, so I omit them entirely).

Sarah was running for VP of the nation - yes, yes - not of ~~California~~ Alaska. Bachmann represents the only state that voted for HUBERT HUMPHREY, for the gods' sakes.

Naw, but I think that she doesn't have the profile because she's just an also-ran of American Jesusfreaks, while Palin is the Patron Saint of American Jesusfreaks.

I work with a guy that thinks Sarah Palin can be a 'kingmaker'. He also believes that Perry gaffed because he just had surgery, (new Hampshire), and that he's just not a good public speaker (you don't have that luxury when you are running for president, sorry). He also says Herman Cain is totally innocent, because all the accusers have ties to David Axelrod. He had no clue about the fruitiness (percieved) of Marcus Bachmann,and sees nothing wrong with praying gay away. He thought Sarah Palin was right about Paul Revere. He can quote statistics about ice core samples he thinks can disprove global warming. serious weapons-grade derp right there.

This is one of those threads where I'm fairly confident that the headline is at least partially tongue-in-cheek, but the responses, and the counter-responses, and counter-counter-responses, leave me increasingly confused as to who is and is not speaking with a straight face.

Sometimes I worry that our politics are sliding almost entirely into even-I'm-not-sure-when-I'm-serious-any-more chuckleheadedness.

Dr Dreidel: The Tea Party still likes Sarah Palin. They're still trying to get her to run in Iowa (and probably other places, too. I wonder about Alaska). If she says "Vote Romney", 80% of them will.

I doubt it. Tea Party leaders in Iowa are stating that many of their members are taking a second look at Newt. Contrary to popular belief they aren't brainless dolts who do what ever someone in power tells them too. A Romney endorsement by Palin could break one of two ways:

1) It gives him momentum and siphons off some support from Newt
2) Palin demonstrates that she's not as ideologically pure as she has portrayed herself and is cast as now "just another Republican Establishment person pushing their favored candidate" and she then looses much of her base as they feel betrayed.

Romney is *not* the Tea Party candidate and the Tea Party isn't dumb enough to run a third party in the General knowing that it would just be handing the White House back to Obama. I think Palin is currently waiting to see which way the wind is blowing, but I don't see her endorsing Romney anytime soon. She may follow in Cains footsteps who is supposedly going to endorse Newt today - but that's pure speculation.

Guidette Frankentits

Can I just say that Palin's endorsement doesn't have any weight anymore? Since she decided not to run she lost the defacto GOP seal of approval rubberstamp.

CanisNoir: Romney is *not* the Tea Party candidate and the Tea Party isn't dumb enough to run a third party in the General knowing that it would just be handing the White House back to Obama.

I think this makes sense since whomever they could offer up would not have independent and cross party appeal.

But, with that said, they have backed candidates out of ideological purity even when it meant losing the race. Is their distaste of Obama strong enough to make them compromise on purity? I honestly don't know.

Nah. Bachmann will deny making those statements and talk about how she's disappointed she didn't win, but it's up to the Tea Party to support the Republican candidate for the good of the party and/or to stop the corruption of America.

If they're looking at Newt, it's because someone in power told them to. He was polling in single digits for months.
