Mitt Romney-Sarah Palin in 2012? You betcha! ZOT!!
Boston Herald ^ | Thursday, April 15, 2010 - Updated 3h ago | By Edward Mason, Hillary Chabot and Jessica Van Sack

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.

Those who also break their covenants with the Lord Jesus Christ there are consequences!

That's too bad!

I'm glad that I never made any 'convenants' with HIM; if breaking one would cause THAT much problem!

(Uh... just what ARE the 'consequences'?)

Why would I hate Jews, my Savior is a Jew.
Sybil you may spin all you wish, it matters not.
The fact remains simply this:
if the Bible is true there was no need for restoration making the BoM invalid
if the Bible is not true and there was need for restoration then the Bible is invalid
lds can not claim both ways
I don't hate anyone, the only thing I have ever hated is egg custard.
I do not care what fancy name you give it, egg custard is egg custard.

Reaganesque is a friend and he is no socialist so many have a hard time with the LDS heart.

It appears that your friend had trouble with his MOUTH (fingers?) - not his heart!

I would say it is because how many preceive his actions in his family life and how he honor and continues to grow in the office as a bishop and stake president.

Who supports CHOICE!

Are you saying that your SCRIPTURE has LIES in it?

Maybe it's just not TRASNSLATED correctly: It HAS had all those CHANGES in it since JS 'translated' it.

Maybe Plain and Precious things were ADDED to it!
