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.”
No, that was the right answer.
Ooops.
I'm with you - ABO - Anybody But Obama. Heck, I'd even vote for Hillary! over Obama at this stage - she couldn't do any worse...
I'd much rather see a dozen other people get the nomination over Romney, but if it is Romney, then I'll enthusiastically cast my vote for him over our current President.
Oh shaddup! LOL
What are you going to do if she says she's running? Will you apologize for being stupid and wrong?
I doubt it, but some of us will remind you.
I am scared of lightning. Do you mind if I put a few hundred yards distance between us?
Why would I do that? I never said that she wasn't running.
Weak.
She said anyone but Obama... Nuff said. Just because a dishonest "reporter" ran with it... What do you expect? Ever say anything wherein you could not have extrapolated? Made yourself more clear?
Must be nice to be you eh?... Primadonna.
Wild eyed Bachmann doesn`t even know where the famous battles took place. She believed a report that the US military killed thousands of civilians in Libya.
Imagine if Gov Palin had said those things?
I wonder if the question had been asked of Wild Eyes last night?....Nov 2012 you are in the voting booth, you only have 2 choices Mittens or Barry, who would you vote for?
Gov Sarah Palin or bust, is my answer, but I wonder what MB would have said?
I am definitely a ABO voter. I had Mitt just above the guy from Utah and Ron Paul (at the bottom). His response to the hecklers moved him up in my book. Just below Palin, Christy, Santorum and Ryan.
So....I answered your question, so answer mine, what are you going to do if she runs?
A corollary; what are you going to do if she runs and wins the nomination?
I responded to a comment made by Ingtar to tsowellfan in post #131. As a courtesy, I included tsowellfan in the response to Ingtar's post. You are certainly aware that this is a common practice on Free Republic. If you follow the comments from that point, you can see that tsowellfan is a very poor practitioner of Alinsky's Marxist tactics. First he claimed I attributed the quote to Sarah Palin. Next, he accused me of attributing the quote to him, even though I explained it was text excerpted from Ingtar's post.
Clearly, either tsowellfan is executing a feeble attempt to stir up trouble or he is suffering from the late stages of syphilis induced dementia. The juries still out concerning which explanation is more plausible.
Thank you for your time. I appreciate all you continue to do for the Conservative cause.
Sincerely,

Ron Paul is last on my list, but that’s because Romney isn’t on my list. Actually, Ron Paul isn’t really on my list either, and if that’s all that’s left when Virginia comes up for our primary, I’ll get to stay home for the day.
Pretender, huh? As if anyone here is buying your innocent act. ‘Oh my head’s in the sand!!’ Bless your little heart.
Perhaps you didn’t see the July 7th quote...
What did Hayeworth in was his damn commercial touting "how you could rip off the fed gov't"... Matthew Lesko Jr.
As a DeMint supporter, what do you say about his support of Romney, an actual endorsement?
Really would like to know.
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.
This doesn't sound like they were pushing romney does it?
I could support Mickey Mouse (or his Goofy dog) if they were running against Obama.
No wonder my dogs have been acting strange!
Well, then you'd be wrong on two counts:
1) For making an illogical "guilt by association" argument. What are you, a Democrat? And,
2) I actually think she's probably going to run. I just find it amusing to speculate on the looks on a lot of FReepers' face if she doesn't.
So....I answered your question, so answer mine, what are you going to do if she runs?
Uh...continue to hope that DeMint jumps into the race?
A corollary; what are you going to do if she runs and wins the nomination?
Uh...vote for her?
