The 2012 Primary Fight Is On: Palin Backers Shoot Back At Romney With "Bear" Web Ad

It's On: Palin Backers Shoot Back at Romney With "Bear" Web Ad Mitt Romney grabbed headlines at the inaugural town-hall event of the National Council for a New America this Saturday by taking what many perceived as a whack at Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. For what it's worth, I thought it sounded more like the slightly clumsy joke typical of Romney (humor is not his strong suit), rather than a put-down, but it can easily be seen as a swipe. You be the judge:

"I think there are a lot more influential Republicans than that [Time list] would suggest," Romney said. "But was that the issue on the most beautiful people or the most influential people? … I’m not sure. If it’s the most beautiful, I understand. We’re not real cute.”

It sounded like he was reaching for self-deprecating and came up short and implied something he didn't mean to, but perhaps I'm giving too much benefit of the doubt. Palin has since joined the National Council for a New America, along with Romney, Jeb Bush, Bobby Jindal, Eric Cantor, and former running mate John McCain, but the feud, she will not end so quietly!

Rush Limbaugh took to the mic to defend Palin against slights, claiming Bush and Romney and others "hate" and "despise" Palin. And, now Palin-backers are coming to her aid with this well-done take-off on the famous Reagan "Bear in the Woods" ad. Theirs is called "Bore in the Woods" and features Benny Hill theme music. Given that, I have no choice but to award this round to Palin.

"Rush Limbaugh took to the mic to defend Palin against slights, claiming Bush and Romney and others "hate" and "despise" Palin."

I think thats a load of bull. If Romney was taking shots at "beautiful people", he was probably talking about McCain's idiot daughter with her Paris Hilton like suggestions for the GOP.

That video is really, really bad.

Romney is never going to be the nominee... he should save his money for hair care... because this time we are going to turn his pretty hair snow white!

Pretty funny. Romney is suck a queer.

Keep Sarah away from those Washington Wannabees. She does not need them, and all they will do is drag her down to their level. Sarah stay in Alaska, and go fishing, it would be more productive/

I'm happy for the folks at C4P, apparently one of the Townhall girls will be on BOR tonight to talk about this. It's taken on a life of it's own.
