Please read the latest Sarah Palin hit piece over at the sausagefest that is RedState — a place we like for most things, but have to call out on a regular basis for being such myopic Eeyores.

Now, when reading anything at sites like RedState, you need to realize how many “Romney guys” are entrenched practically everywhere in the Republican junior ranks.  They are a very subversive lot, with a loyalty to Mitt as deep and strong as our own loyalty to Hillary.  Here in Chicago, most of the young Republican guys we worked with during the McCain campaign were Romney guys who wanted to beat Dr. Utopia, for sure, but who weren’t all that terribly upset on election night because they planned to start Romney 2012 efforts the next day.

We comiserated that night in the hotel suite with them after McCain’s concession, brokenhearted we wouldn’t be starting Hillary 2012 that morning instead.  So, we understand these guys.  We know the love of a candidate and the lengths loyalists will go to for that person.

It is our firm belief Romney guys are working to stop a Sarah Palin 2012 campaign even harder than the MSM is working on Dr. Utopia’s behalf to stop Palin.

It is a similar situation to what we Hillary Dems faced in 2008, where the DNC elite and MSM worked together to stop a woman from being the Democrats’ nominee.  We believe, to this day, it wasn’t so much about stopping a Clinton third term as it was stopping a WOMAN from being president.

The same thing is at work now, with the MSM and these Romney guys doing everything they can to halt Palin.

We implore Palin supporters to read the book “Game Change”, looking at the Clinton 2004 and 2008 anecdotes in particular.

Read the story of how the Kennedy Family talked Hillary Clinton out of running for president in 2004…using THE EXACT SAME THINGS the Romney guys are saying to Palin today.  “We have a chance to beat this guy, and you’re divisive and not ready, so you should wait.  If Kerry loses, then you can have it in 2008.  We promise.  Wink wink wink.”

Then read the story of how Chuck Schumer stabbed Hillary in the back and encouraged Dr. Utopia to run against her, joining the other men in the DNC to shunt her to the side.

This is EXACTLY what the Romney guys are trying to do to Palin.

We truly hope the Gov does to the RNC what she did to the Republican party in Alaska:  she needs to stop listening to these idiots, do her own thing, root out the biggest fools and dispose of them, and run her own show for 2012.

We believe the TV show she’s producing with Mark Burnett on the wonders of Alaska will be Reaganesque in its reach of regular people. Conservatives will love it, but so will independents. Far leftists won’t watch it, the same way they don’t watch FOX, but claim they hate FOX anyway.  So, without even seeing the series, leftists will hate it.  But, there is no getting those people to do anything but hate every Republican blindly, no matter who it is.

Moderate and conservative Democrats, however, will watch the show too, to see what the fuss is about.  If it’s informative, well-produced, and showcases Palin’s Alaska, we believe it will become a cultural phenomenon.  We foresee Alaskan imagery everywhere in 2011.  Which is a wonderful setup for the Palin brand in 2012.

Late 2010-early 2011 is also when Palin’s next book is due:  a policy book on American Virtues.  That will be coupled with a book tour that should end round about February 6th, 2011, the day we believe Palin will announce her presidential run.

Essentially, the tour bus she uses for the book will just be slightly rebranding as PALIN 2012, instead of AMERICAN VIRTUES.

Chances are, American Virtues will actually be her campaign motto.

We can see the branding and marketing already at work.

Palin’s playing 11th dimensional chess that RedState’s not seeing, because it’s so focused on Romney, or dazzled by his Mattel-produced hair.

She’s operating a fully-formed multimedia strategy designed to counter Dr. Utopia’s razzle dazzle and media darling status.  She knows in her heart Americans will want a true conservative in office in 2012, one who is smart enough to focus on jobs, the economy, energy independence, and limited government instead of allowing the media to degenerate the debate into social issues. The media is going to do everything it can to control the debate in 2012, doing its level best to hand Dr. Utopia a second term on a silver platter.

The ONLY Republican we see on the field who can take charge of the debate is Palin.

She merely mentions something on Facebook and it derails the White House for three days.

She writes something she wants to talk about on her hand, and it drives the Left so nuts that’s all they talk about for weeks…tricking them into getting her message out there when they think they are making fun of her.

Mitt Romney could hold a dozen nuns hostage at knife point in the middle of a crowded shopping mall and hardly anyone would notice.  MAYBE the media would report on it, if a semi-famous rapper happened to be nearby, like with Romney’s recent altercation on an airplane.

Romney could set himself on fire and perform nude Cirque du Soleit acrobatics on live television and most of the country would still not pay any attention to him.

In 2012, Palin would control what she wanted to talk about and would be a proactive campaigner dictating what the media was forced to cover.

Mitt Romney, or the rest of the stale, tired, losers RedState and other “Romney guy” sites keep pushing would just follow the standard GOP model of reacting to whatever the MSM is pushing…and since the MSM would be pushing whatever made Dr. Utopia look best, the campaign dynamic would be completely different.

Palin would be in charge by the very nature of who she is, and the massive response she gets to every little thing she does.  Romney and the others would be at the mercy of fate and media whims, forever tilting the way the wind blew against them, never gaining traction, losing to Dr. Utopia’s re-election machine…of which the media is not just a part, but the core and engine.

We will endeavor for the next two years to make sure we do everything we can to help Sarah Palin.  For those of you reading this in Alaska, you tell the Governor she’s got a bunch of Palinites here in Boystown who are on the ground for her already.  We’re going to see her on April 17th, so we’re going to tell her all this ourselves…and most importantly we’re going to warn her not to listen to the things said to Hillary Clinton in 2004.

If Clinton had run back then, we think she would have beaten Bush and would be president today, at the close of her second term.  But, she listened to people who were dead wrong, and who largely just didn’t want to see a female president.

We do not want Palin to make that same mistake.

Not if we can stop history from repeating itself.
