Former Republican Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney thinks Sarah Palin would be "great" as a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012.
"I believe she is an extraordinarily powerful and effective voice in our party, that she has generated a great deal of support and attention, that she'd be great in a primary process," Romney said Tuesday on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight." "She'd bring attention to the process, and frankly, the more people we have on the stage in those debates talking about different ideas and different approaches, the better."
Although he wouldn't speculate on whether he could beat her in a potential matchup, he was quick to volunteer the opinion of his wife, on his run.
"My wife thinks I should run, she's absolutely committed," Romney said. "I'm not sure she knows whether I can win or lose, but I know she feels that somebody of my experience is needed in the country at a time like this."
Even though the former 2008 presidential candidate said he too would have lost to Barack Obama in the last election, if he were president now he would "reverse all of the policies that have made America one of the least friendly places to start new businesses."(continued)

Choosing a RINO for the GOP.
One of the things that I really like about Sarah Palin is how she makes the commie lib girlymen wet their pants at the sound of her name.
That's a pretty limp-wristed way of saying, "I should be President." The man is using his wife like he is some kind of ventriloquist and she is his dummy.
Disgraceful!
Willard, the suck-up
Not after going on cnn and letterpuke.
My goodness how ‘civil’. Oh, Mitt.
..how long before Overbite lands a job at CNN and he smoooozes up to Rodney, er Robbie, what’s his name?
Sarah Palin is gonna make mincemeat of Mitt.
Notice he didn’t say she would make a good President, just that she would add to dialogue on the ‘stage’.
BLAH! Just say NO to Romney!!!!
God help us if we get a reconstructed 2012 edition of the RudyMcRomney bloc in the primaries. Folks need to get through to the powers that be - RIGHT NOW to make sure those primaries are CLOSED! 0bama will surely have the nomination in the bag before it even starts, which will leave the dems with lots of opportunity to deploy their own version of ‘Operation Chaos’.
The guy is so way outta touch with flyover country people.He has no idea how bad he will get his ass handed to him in the primary.... again.
Good catch.
Romeny just needs to go away.
This is a man who at one time or another has been on every side of every important issue. I can't believe that he seriously thinks he should be president. In fact, only when he publicly renounces his religion will I be convinced that he's really running again.
Ooops!
Should have said, “She would bring attention to the stage”.
Yep. The guy comes off wrong even in a friendly late-night appearance. He’s not what our country needs.
And just during the ‘primary process’.
Absolutely!
You are right.
I'm sure he respects and admires Sarah Palin. Even more important; he fears her. If Sarah runs, she will win. If she decides not to run, she will be the king maker.
