If John McCain loses this election I doubt Sarah Palin will go anywhere beyond Alaska except maybe the Senate. The last failed Veep candidate to get the nomination was Bob Dole 20 years later and he had been around the political campfire awhile. Walter Mondale also got it but he was actually Veep for 4 years so his case is special. Even so both these people lost the General elections by wide margins.
Over the course of his career, Romney has shown that he will say anything, change any view, to get elected.
The only perceived flip-flops I know of is his views on abortion and embryonic stem-cell research. But he does have a somewhat compelling argument, depending on whether you buy it or not. I would like to know, I mean, I could never support a dishonest man, but these are the only inconsistencies I know of.
Those are the only ones. Liberals and misguided Repubs like to bring up others like Gay Marriage and bring up false claims about his record on Taxes. 1st Romney never supported Gay Marriage and I challenge anyone who disagrees to find eveidence to the contrary. Marriage was not an issue till 1997 and in 94 the debate was over gay rights and Mitt was definately not going to allow people to be denied the same Medical and Economic rights granted to everyone else.
At the same time Huckabee was advocating Quarrantining Gays over the HIV scare, even though it was proven in the 80's that you can't spread HIV Aids through physical contact. Could you imagine the ads that would be run against him if he got the nomination.
Its good the Mitt is ahead and I am not surprised. After all he was much more competitive then Huck and Mitt had a broader appeal. Huck was and still is an unelectable candidate. He never showed any appeal outside of Heavy concentrations of Evangelicals and definately did not show any strength among Blue collar Reagan Democrats(among whom many media pundits claimed Huck would do well).
