On Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  November 8th at 01:07 PM  | 

Allow me to put this to bed. Do I think Mitt Romney is behind the smears against Sarah Palin? Absolutely not. Do I think Eric Fehrnstrom is behind the smears against Sarah Palin? Absolutely not. I feel comfortable saying that there is no organized effort on Mitt Romney’s behalf or tacit support. I think that’s crazy talk. Here’s what I think: I think there are | Read More »

When I was in St. Paul for the Republican Convention, more than a dozen people told me acolytes of Mitt Romney were feeding all the stories to the media portraying Palin in a negative light.

I’ve said for months it was going to be Tim Pawlenty. It is the most obvious choice, though I think Eric Cantor would be the more exciting pick.

I’m told McCain very much wanted Lieberman, but the campaign has heard from enough people to know it won’t happen. Expect Lieberman to be a member of the Cabinet, letting Republican Governor Jodi Rell appoint his successor. | Read More »

The URL is now empty though, but the blurb still exists on the front page of Halperin’s site, along with a note that the New York Times reports people close to the | Read More »
