P. S. I'm glad to hear that Sarah didn't say it. Phew!

Conservative superstar Sarah Palin opened the door yesterday to joining forces with Mitt Romney for a 2012 White House run - a hot ticket that has some Republicans licking their chops at the prospect of unseating President Obama.
“Sounds pretty good,” Palin declared at yesterday’s Tea Party Express rally on the Common when asked about pairing up with the former Bay State governor - giving the idea a big thumbs-up as she left the stage after her headline speech.
Last night, as Palin stopped for cannoli at Mike’s Pastry in the North End, she said she was “serious” about the idea.
“I have a lot of respect for Mitt,” she told the Herald.
Asked who would be on top of the ticket, Palin roared, “Ha! I haven’t even thought that far ahead yet.”
Indeed, Palin said she hasn’t decided whether she’ll run in 2012 - with or without Romney.
Romney, a presumptive 2012 Republican presidential contender who recently embarked on a nationwide book tour, has not ruled out an alliance with Palin, the GOP’s 2008 vice presidential candidate.
“Mitt Romney respects Sarah Palin and he appreciates the contributions she makes to the party,” said Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom. “But his immediate focus is on helping Republicans win back the Congress in 2010.”
Some veteran political observers were intrigued by the notion of the two telegenic former GOP governors on the same ticket.
“They both have a lot they can offer a campaign,” said Douglas Lorenz, a California-based GOP consultant. “Romney has the experience as a governor and experience as a candidate for president, and when you combine that with Sarah Palin’s ability to get people motivated, that could definitely be a formidable ticket.”
Republican gubernatorial candidate Christy Mihos called the matchup “the best of both worlds.”
“They both come at it from totally different parts of the spectrum,” said Mihos, who attended yesterday’s Tea Party rally. “One deals on a gut level with people and the other is highly successful on the business end of things.”
Speaking before a rapt crowd estimated at 5,000, Palin squarely targeted Democrats, pounding away at Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package. She also lobbied for domestic oil drilling.
“I want to tell ’em, ‘Nah, we’ll keep clinging to our Constitution and our guns and religion - and you can keep the change,” Palin said, later adding, “Yeah, let’s drill, baby, drill; not stall, baby, stall - you betcha.”
Meanwhile, Palin said last night she had no hard feelings about U.S. Sen. Scott Brown’s decision to skip the rally. “He was in Washington doing his job,” she said.
I can't argue with pragmatism, just for trying to do better so I don't have to resort to it.
Let me answer for him/her/it: yes! But remember, it is hard for an insane person to recognize their insanity.

On another note, how long until we see her on dancing with the stars?
LOL...me too except I forgo the distilled spirits for dark beer and red wine...much better for the heart and anti-carcinogen.
“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”

PS: you are now free to waste your time correcting my "its". I never punctuate it. Its annoying.
Mitt “Romneycare” Romeny whose plan is bloating outward and upward in cost while DROPPING in quality.
Just like Obamacare will.
My friends and I have been expecting this since about November 2008.
“She is a mindless bimbo that couldn’t get elected to a two bit school board. “
So you’re saying that being Governor of Alaska is less than a school board?
No way Jose. Hasta la vista, Sister Sarah.
Next time, simply type: "I cannot read for comprehension." It'll be just as accurate, and -- bonus points! -- it's shorter.
Baby steps this time, as you plainly need 'em: you made a patently silly statement (#87). I, politely, corrected it for you (#94). You, then, in turn, had a silly li'l hissy in public (#96, #109). There really doesn't seem to be any way to simplify further for you, at this point, sans either flash cards or finger puppets.
I never punctuate it. Its annoying.
"If you say so," he said, masterfully straightfaced.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
Senators make lousy presidents. Governors make the best presidents.
We all have choices to make and if sarah goes down this path I will not follow her.
We need leaders and true conservatives who push for limited govt, not dem lite rinoism.
Sarah needs some some soul searching imho if she thinks going rino is going to get her anywhere.
Double ZOT! Rare, but fun when it does happen.
Ah, how I love to watch 'em burn. ;)
