Didn't Romney back Nikki Haley AFTER she'd taken the lead n the polls due to Sarah Palin’s endorsement and campaign appearance for her?

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 is stuck in copy Palin mode and hope somthing happens where he gets lucky ... like if Palin does not run or a bunch of conservatives run and split the vote.
