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.

Interesting. Please explain how she was elected mayor and governor. Or are they inconvenient truths? Your hate for Palin far exceeds you ability to put forth cogent arguments. I wonder why that is so. Do you know her—or anyone that does know her? Oh, and please explain the conservative crowds she draws where ever she goes. Are you a Ron Paulbot by any chance? Only libertarians and Marxists think they are always the smartest people in the room.

Howzat Mitt...by pushing another RINO on us like Scott Brown?

And you would prefer the alternative?
I remember an old song" You don't always get what you want". Sometimes you have to take what you can get. Getting ANY Republican in MA is better than a dem.

I would like to see less screaming cheer leader and more mature dignity in a leader. After all, she already ran with one RINO. Who is to say she wouldn’t run with another?

I think everyone knows how FR feels about Mitt...

As for the rest that may well be.. Getting Conservatives and Romney hacks rumbling is a good thing for the dummycrats...

We don't want Romney -- Give us Sarah!

Mitt Romney is no different than Harry Reid

Mitt Romney is a flip-flopping socialist bum!

Some people just don't get the TEA Parties. RINO Romney is just more of the same. Dump him!

There’s a statement of ignorance if I ever saw one.

I think the lady is not as conservative as she professes.

I must say, the way she prefaces conservatism with "common sense" gives me pause....reminds me of compassionate label Bush used.

Conservatism needs no modifiers, adding them implies that it is somehow flawed, imho.

BTW, where are you on Romney now, I forgot. Certainly his recent “I created the original Obamacare” bit did not help.

And that would be fair I guess. But then the question is do you really want him to be the nominee?

Neither I or the country can afford to be picky.

So get off it. He's not my candidate.
