So says Peter J. Boyer of the Daily Best.
Now, why in the world would Mitt Romney snub Sarah Palin?
Well, maybe because of stuff like this?

I mean, if I knew that some woman who ran as a GOP VP had fan sites with video implying that Sarah Palin should or wanted to shoot me; I would not invite her either! 😯 (It’s in the links on the “About Us” page on that site, if you are wondering. They have her back, and they’ll shoot anyone who tries to get near her too!)
I will admit, that during the 2008 election, I was very highly critical of Sarah Palin. Just check out the search results of my old blog. I was always fair to her, and I would defend her, when others would attack her children or anything stupid like that. However, I just did not like the idea that the Vice-Presidency or anything else for that matter; should just be handed to someone, like Palin, because she is a Woman. This is because that is called gender entitlement. Gender Entitlement is a form of identity politics and it is, like feminism, a liberal progressive idea and not even remotely a Conservative one.
Sarah Palin started out well; however, when the media, which was admittedly very liberal, vetted her, she wilted and was exposed for the shallow resume politician that she truly is. All was not lost, she ended up with a gig on Fox News. Basically, Sarah Palin’s legacy is that she was the mayor of a one-horse little town in Alaska, and went after some GOP establishment types, and then ran for Governor and won that race. Then, she proceeded to pass a bunch of idiotic legislation, which in turn was used against her by the Democrats. Finally, after tiring of these attacks, she basically “cut and run” (to steal a phrase from a well-known Neo-Con President)Â to get away from the fight.
Real Conservatives stay and fight, Real Conservatives have resumes, Real Conservatives do not expect things to be handed to them, because of color, gender or religion. Sarah Palin is no Conservative, not by my standards, at all.
