Sarah Palin’s advice to Mitt Romney: 'Go rogue' (via The Christian Science Monitor)
Mitt Romney has been getting lots of gratuitous advice from fellow Republicans and conservatives worried about what they see as a presidential campaign that’s slipping toward defeat. As usual, Sarah Palin is the most direct and colorful. In a statement to the Weekly Standard on Saturday, she put…

I never thought I’d say this but for once I absolutely with Palin. Romney should go rogue. Totally rogue. So should Ryan.
didnt work for Palin.

That was my first thought. Unleash that pit bull of plutocratic palaver, Ryan. Please!
Lol, campaign advice from Palin and Graham. He needs that like he needs another left foot in his mouth. Or something.
“this conversation about the makers versus the takers”
culture war with the middle class?? not smart.
Why does anyone care what Sara Palin thinks….about anything? But if she didn’t see the infamous video of Romney at the wealthy fundraiser, than she is more out of touch than any of us knew. I guess he didn’t go “rogue” enough in those statements. She is an idiot and he is an idiot. Period.
The quote from Palin seems to be a bit lacking in details. “Going rogue” seems to mean “be like me!” or “Stick to Tea Party values!”. Of course Palin wants Ryan used heavily — they’re like the twin tea party darlings. It’s hard to say whether or not it’s a good strategy from the standpoint of winning the election — we’re still only 2 years out from the full electional effects of the Tea Party’s rise, and we haven’t had any elections since to give a good feel for whether it is still a powerful narrative for such large swaths. It’s my impression that the Tea Party has dwindled significantly since 2010, but I also live in a liberal bubble where they were always considered silly and destructive, playing on the worst instincts and fears of our population. Gauging the national feeling toward them is difficult. I think in this case, we’ll see a lot more effects of the TP in down-ticket races. Hopefully it will not be so disasterous as it was in 2010.
