USNEWS.COM By Paul Bedard When Mississippi Gov.

Mitt Romney, you’re our only hope

Sarah Palin’s political bandwagon is wobbling under the weight of contradictions

We are seeing the first signs of wobble on the Sarah Palin bandwagon. This may seem a strange thing to say about a political superstar who has earned at least $12 million in the past 18 months from a publishing advance, personal appearance fees and a television punditry contract, not to forget a reality show [...]
