Palin would be a great president says the Mitt Romney

[RamboLiberal]

Mitt Romney claims he isn't sure if he'll run for President in 2012, but he knows someone else that would do a "great" job: Sarah Palin.

During an interview on Tuesday night with Piers Morgan on CNN, the former GOP Massachusetts governor said Palin would bring a lot to the political table.

"I believe she is an extraordinarily powerful and effective voice in our party, that she has generated a great deal of support and attention, that she'd be great in a primary process," he said of the former vice-presidential nominee and Tea Party darling. "She'd bring attention to the process, and frankly, the more people we have on the stage in those debates talking about different ideas and different approaches, the better."

Romney has gone on a media blitz to discuss his new book, "No Apology: The Case for American Greatness," making appearances on "Good Morning America," "Late Show with David Letterman" and "The View."

1. I don't know if it's funny or sad that they all feel compelled to say stuff like this about her.

I guess Mittens is afraid of alienating her rabid fanbase of really stupid old guys.

[Skittles]

2. it's not funny or sad; it is fucking PATHETIC and DEPRESSING

[TwilightGardener]

6. Well, that too.

[Blasphemer]

3. Any GOP Presidential hopeful has to say that

They don't want to alienate the tea partiers. They will leave it to surrogates like the Bushes to malign Palin.

[JBoy]

4. How will he stand up to Putin, if he can't stand up to Palin?

[ncteechur]

5. Are they effing stupid? Why would they give Palin props when they know they want to run and they

don't really like her because she steals their thunder. Pawlenty did it after he got the shaft by McCain, now Romney.

[TlalocW]

12. Because...

The conservative media have essentially made her out to be a king-maker this past election cycle and will probably do so in 2012. There's still a good chance that she'll run, and even though she won't win the nomination (or if I'm wrong, and she doesn't run), she still has the ear of a sizable majority of the nutjobs on the right side of the political spectrum. Mitt can bullshit all he wants, but he is running, and he wants to remain on her good side and let other people attack her so that when she drops out, she'll throw her support behind him, campaign for him, etc. - because even if some other candidate had positions that lined up with her exactly, if that candidate says anything bad about her, she's going to hold a grudge.

Mitt is still looked at sideways by the more conservative and nutty branch of republicans, and he's going to need their support. He knows what he's doing.

7. A block of wood has more neurons firing in it than Mitt Romney

And his Dad wasn't much better. All hair, no brains.

[golfguru]

24. If I had Romney's neuron's

I would be worth over $250 million now. I never pooh pooh any one who can
make that kind of money starting with less than 1/100th of that.

[golfguru]

25. delete for wrong place

[Arugula Latte]

8. Yes, I agree that she would be a great president

[sallyseven]

9. Take it from me.

mittens is a nut and would be a worse president than palin.

[old mark]

10. Maybe not "great", but certainly "amusing"...Gives you an idea of Mitt's

powers of reasoning, too, huh?

[Leithan]

11. Yesssssssssssss, yessssssssssssssssssss.....

...nominate Sarah, GOP. Yesssssssssssssss.....

[Golden Raisin]

13. Be careful what you wish for.

[secondwind]

14. He wants her to run to make HIM look good, LOL! He's pathetic. He's lost all credibility now.

[Avant Guardian]

15. She would bring attention to stuff

Òh brother

[MissHoneychurch]

16. In all seriousness

why in the hell would she make a great President if she couldn't even finish her term as Governeur of Alaska????

[Kahuna]

17. He really IS the Eddie Haskell of politics. nt

[Vinca]

18. Another proud owner of a Sarah Palin blow-up doll?

[yellowcanine]

19. I'm guessing Mitt thinks this will earn him brownie points with the tea party crowd. Yeah, that

will work Mitt. Keep doing what you are doing.

[WI_DEM]

20. Romney has always been the slimy used car salesman of politics and this

is just another example of him saying what he thinks he must say in order to win his parties nomination.

[midnight armadillo]

21. He is a soulless automaton

Complete with synthetic, never-changing hair. Romney does not appear to hold any political positions out of personal conviction. To him they seem to just be tools to use to appeal to different audiences, and somehow he thinks he has everyone fooled.

[Arkana]

23. I had a front seat to his Senate run against Ted Kennedy

and his gubernatorial campaign.

The guy knows nothing except how to run for office. He'd sell his own mother for an election victory--that I'm sure of.

[Arkana]

22. She's got them all dancing on her strings like puppets.

And they can't piss her off or her legions of Neanderthals will become unhappy.

[BlueMTexpat]

26. And Mitt, the ME "expert," could be her Secretary of State ...

:banghead:

From Robert Fisk's column of 3 Feb:

<snip>
"This is Mubarak's work," one wounded stone-thrower said to me. "He has managed to turn Egyptian against Egyptian for just nine more months of power. He is mad. Are you in the West mad, too?" I can't remember how I replied to this question. But how could I forget watching – just a few hours earlier – as the Middle East "expert" Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, was asked if Mubarak was a dictator. No, he said, he was "a monarch-type figure".

It's an alternate universe and I, for one, do NOT want to live there. Ever.

[golfguru]

27. It is CRYSTAL CLEAR why Mitt Romney is praising Palin

It is so transparent and so obvious why Mitt is praising Palin.
He wants Palin to run! She will split the votes from the Huckster!
It is as simple as that and so straight forward.

[handmade34]

28. read the article and

didn't see anywhere that he said she would "be a great president"...

would bring a lot to the political table...
she is a...voice in our party
she'd be great in a primary process...

I don't think Mitt Romney is stupid. She could only make him look good in a primary race...

[impik]

29. None of them is going to run....

They're scared to death of Obama.

[montanto]

30. ". . . of the local kennel club." he finished.

"maybe" he muttered, further.

[zulchzulu]

31. LOL! "She'd bring attention to the process..." You betcha! n/t

[Jefferson23]

32. The title of his book, " No Apology.... How typical is that for a RW'er,

rob the average guy blind and don't even say..sorry.

[davidpdx]

33. Meanwhile, Massachusetts Mormon Mitt

Was caught smoking his crack pipe while staring at nude pictures of Sarah Palin.
