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 would cheerfully vote for my neighbor's Newfoundland dog in place of BO. I know the Newfie is friendly, kind, and would do no harm to the country as he devoted his time to sleeping and playing with ‘his’ children.

(Can we keep our attacks focused on the real enemy: Obama)

This is your tagline, but you don't seem to follow your own advice. It happens also to be the sentiment expressed by Sarah Palin.

Whether you intentionally ignored her correction - that she did not endorse Romney - or were not aware of it, the fact is that she clearly stated that she does not endorse him.

Are you quite well? I made no comment on whether it was a good or bad answer. Maybe you have me mixed up with another poster:^)

If Obama gets reelected, he would put more Marxists on the SC which would 6-3 or 5-4 the country into socialist oblivion. As bad as Romney would be as prez, he would not nominate radical left-wingers to the court.

There are actually quite a few pics of Obama looking demonic all taken at different times.

I’m sorry but I see nothing offensive in what was posted. Certainly no reason to go to Jim and the Mods. Basically what Palin said is anyone but Obama in 2012. Surely Free Republic would agree with that? I certainly do not want to see Mitt Romney as the nominee but if we’re stuck with him like we were with McCain in 2008 I’ll hold my nose and vote for him. All Palin was saying is she would do the same.

Wow! How can you be a Reagan Conservative and endorse the Father of RomneyCare at the same time?

If the alternative is Barack Hussein Obama, easy!

How can she go from endorsing a conservative like Rick Perry to supporting a McCain like RINO like Romney (the father of Obamacare)???

She has been bought and paid for by the establishment?

There is no down side to cutting this phony SOB off at the knees TODAY.

Let him sell his snake oil in the private sector.

He is more dangerous than the camel jockey raghead subhumans to our Republic.

HE CAN'T BE TRUSTED AND WILL SAY OR DO ANYTHING TO GAIN ELECTIVE OFFICE.

He ought to smarten up and stick to raping small time investors before he gets hurt.

Governor Palin is more politically savy than to piss off a block of voters she may eventually need.

Regardless of whether or not she gets in, I really don't see her endorsing anyone in the primary.

With that posture (hand positions.. facial gesture), I thought he looked like an ADD kid (maybe around 12yo)... a mentally retarded kid.. or maybe a mixture of both :p
and I am not joking at all... and no offense intended for the kids either X(

Actually, I heard this on FOX news a hour or two ago. She must have said it.

I don’t like Romney, but I can see why she may have said what she did.

For President and then after getting stabbed in the back by his advisors and family, she supported him for re-election as Senator in the last election.

Good grief, where have I EVER posted on FR that Palin endorsed Romney? Or that this comment was equal to endorsing Romney? Sorry but putting words in my mouth won’t work. I agree with Palin. Anybody but Obama. And if she decides to run and gets the nomination I’ll be voting for her.

Both Romney and Perry can get stuffed as far as I’m concerned.

Imagine if Bachmann gave that answer. LOL

Look at the way her supporters pile on Perry for supporting Giuliani in 2008.

How is supporting Romney any different?
