Romney Blasts Liberal Washington

Posted Sep 3, 08 8:23 PM CDT in Politics 

(Newser) – Mitt Romney, once a top contender for each of the top spots on the Republican ticket, took to the stage tonight to shore up John McCain's conservative credentials and hammer home the point that "liberals don't have a clue," CNN reports. "We need change all right, change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington," he said. The McCain-Palin ticket, he added, "will never allow America to retreat in the face of religious extremism."

Romney also took a veiled shot at Michelle Obama and her remark during the primaries that her husband's campaign made her proud of America for the first time. "Just like you, there has never been a day when I was not proud to be an American. We inherited the greatest nation in the history of the Earth. It is our burden and privilege to preserve it, to renew its spirit so that its noble past is prologue to its glorious future."

Alaska's governor ranks near the top of virtually every major search tool, including Yahoo, AOL, and Lycos, where she dominated the incoming president until just last week. “People are still searching for her in record numbers,” said a Lycos spokeswoman. “How bizarre is that?"

    No More Mr. Nice Huck The post-election, book-peddling Mike Huckabee is folksy and affable as ever, but he's no longer pulling his punches when it comes to his party's run at the presidency: If he’d been the nominee, the election “would’ve been very different,” Huckabee tells Lauren Collins in the New Yorker. “I would’ve campaigned that the economy was headed toward meltdown. I was saying this back when I was getting laughed at by the Wall Street Journal.” More »

    Palin: 'It Would Be My Honor' to Help Obama Sarah Palin said it would be her "honor" to help the Obama administration, though she's “still concerned” about his ties to “an unrepentant domestic terrorist,” CNN reports. Palin said that while it was fair to continue discussing William Ayers, it's “time to move on.” The Alaska governor—who hasn't ruled out either a run for the Senate or the White House—has been on a TV blitz to shore up her sinking popularity in polls.

    Palin Refuses to Give Up Post-Election Spotlight Sarah Palin is upending protocol with a barrage of post-election interviews, Alessandra Stanley writes in the New York Times. The Alaska governor may be seeking to repair her image after a brutal campaign, and to get the ball rolling now for a White House run, Stanley speculates. She's continuing to display the same candor and presumption that ticked off John McCain's aides.
