If Palin's the future — Mitt's history
The Boston Globe offers a compelling analysis of Mitt Romney's future in the light of Sarah Palin's ascendancy as the GOP's standard bearer at the side of that war hero dude.The Globe's Joan Vennochi argues the religious right killed Mitt's presidential and vice presidential hopes. Palin's positive impact in November could mark the resurgence of the fundamentalist Christians in the GOP. It's a must read for Utah Mitt supporters:
If Palin truly represents the GOP’s future, as some political analysts predict, Romney is history.But what are Mitt supporters to do? Hope and pray that Palin is catastrophic for the beloved GOP — delivering the White House to the Dems — so that the party finally casts out the Mormon-hating evangelicals?If McCain wins in November, and Palin grows in the job of vice president, Romney’s presidential campaign is stalled.
If McCain-Palin loses, and there is no Palin implosion to blame for a Republican defeat, McCain’s running mate will get credit for breathing some life into his uninspiring White House run. That would enhance her political prospects and put Romney’s on hold . . .
It's enough to make a Utah County Republican's head hurt.

Tribune's Bob Barr Blackout Watch: The Libertarian Party nominated Bob Barr as its presidential candidate 108 days ago, but the Salt Lake Tribune has yet to inform its print edition readers of his candidacy.
The Tribune's administrators are disabling the accounts of individuals who note this fact in the TribTalk forums or comments sections of SLTRIB.COM.
Barr is now on 43 state ballots across the United States, and is on track to be on 48 ballots.
Nationwide polls show Barr receiving support from between 5 to 6 percent of voters (or about 1 in 20 American voters), and between 8 to 11 percent support in some battleground states.
Only a handful of other presidential candidates can claim the same thing.
The CEO of MediaNews (which owns the Tribune), William Dean Singleton, was a significant financial supporter of Republican U.S. President George W. Bush.
Mitt being aced by a woman, again. Too cool to see women worthy to lead the most powerful country in the world, but too unworthy to do much more than can pickles in the Relief Society in some churches.
Progress is slow in the church, look how long it took African American males to become worthy.
