If Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney decide to run for president in 2012, they'll have some powerful friends in the early states that are key to winning the GOP nomination.
Mike Huckabee? Not so much.
All of it is part of the presidential election fallout from Tuesdays primaries in Iowa and South Carolina, two states so pivotal in the GOP nomination process that even their off-year state elections are carefully examined for their relevance to the next presidential race.
Both Palin and Romney backed the first-place finishers in the high-profile governors races in the two statesformer GOP Gov. Terry Branstad in Iowa and state Rep. Nikki Haley in South Carolinaendorsements that are likely to pay dividends in the event either Republican runs for president in 2012.

Please tell me there is video of this...
I think there is some video out there. It was at the Utah nomination convention last month.
As JP pointed out, Romney was there first, but it wasn't until Palin endorsed her that she "took off".
It's also worth noting that Haley specifically cited Palin's support after the primary.
Mitt will not win. Why? For the simple reason that he has a stupid name. PERIOD. nothing more than that.
I see the Huckster is still lying. Speaking about his support of of Vander Plaat in Iowa....
I don’t support candidates based on how it will affect my political future, but how it will affect the future of the country, Huckabee said.
The article goes onto say that he still maintains 372 activists on the ground in Iowa...LOL.
Fact: The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts. in some polls, days prior to the election.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY decided
to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off
.hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
Now, if it also said, Mitt Romney? Not so much.

Romney/Van der Sloot 2012

Now that is funny ???
Didnt Romney go to law school ???
For the publicity Romney would go down to Peru and defend Van der Sloot...
Hes that desparate...
and Hey !!!
He could campaign for the minority Latino vote ...
Note that Politico, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Washington comPost, is again trying to pimp Romney.
Romney is a RINO loser, totally dead as far as potential for further office (we’ve seen his messes) and the comPost can’t revive him.
The only reason they want to is because he’s such a loser.
Not just a loser.
Where are the birth certificates of Romney’s Mexican parents?
So, are we going to have to put up with Mittens at Veep to get Sarah as POTUS?
