Palin: “Could I Support Somebody Like Mitt Romney? Yeah”…

DES MOINES, Iowa — 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said Friday that she still hasn’t decided if she’s going to run for president. Palin is also undecided about whom she would endorse if she ultimately decided against entering the race.

Swarmed by media and supporters at the Iowa State Fair, the former governor of Alaska told The Daily Caller that she’s not concerned that Mitt Romney is considered the frontrunner at this time.

“No, nothing worries me at this point,” Palin told TheDC. “Could I support somebody like Mitt Romney? Yeah.”

When TheDC pointed out that some tea partiers have pledged to make sure Romney doesn’t get the nomination, Palin said, “I’m of the mind of ABO — Anybody But Obama, at this time.”

‘I posted what was on Weasel Zipper’s site. It was a link on a twitter post. That’s where I first saw it. How does the update dispute what I posted?”
___________________________________________________

Here’s my take: you saw this article (at least the headline); saw that it would sour conservatives to Palin and went for it.

The title of your thread (which is the title of the article) is: “Could I Support Somebody Like Mitt Romney? Yeah”…

You knew damn well this was provocative, and you were just praying that people would get pi$$ed at Palin. If your motives would’ve have been pure, you would’ve posted the update at the end of this story where Palin and her PAC rep clarified her remarks.

You posted this for one reason...PDS!

I don’t expect you to be smart enough to know the difference between a primary endorsement and post primary support.

This is a seminar question that that fat pile of excrement Michael Moore pioneered. When is some one in politico land have the guts to answer “the US armed forces is an all volunteer force. What part of the word volunteer do you not understand. Individuals determine whether they wish to embrace the very unique sacrifices and rewards of the armed forces. They are not dragooned into uniform. Would you prefer the latter?”

How many people here held their nose and voted for McCain. I’m sure they’d do it again if we got stuck with Romney. We can’t afford 4 more years of Obama.

My guess is that she isn't allowing the media (or anyone else) to pick her fights for her, or even the time and location.

She's playing the media yet again - and it looks like some Freepers are along for the ride.

If and when the time comes, she will separate herself from Romney, and any other RINO who is running.

She certainly has shown a lot more patience than a lot of posters around here. I'm laughing, I enjoy it so much! With or without popcorn!

That was the only point I was making. If Bachmann would have said this she would be accused of being a Romney stalking horse and a RINO.

I actually understand Palin saying it and I will give her a break here. The media just trying to cause trouble by asking that question.

Yep

Perry is suffering from megalomania.

It's a mental condition.

Oh snap.

But it helps make it more understandable that she continued to support another RINO (McCain) in his race against a real conservative in 2010.

Palin drones loathe this type of news because it clearly shows them in a true and honest light as the abject hypocrites and addlebrained fanatics they truly are.

I certainly agree. We haven’t taken the party back at all yet. Disappointing.
