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.”

Ewwwwww

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

Of course she could. If he was the candidate. AB0. But that doesn’t mean he WILL be the nominee. Kind of a useless question.

Palin said, “I’m of the mind of ABO — Anybody But Obama, at this time.”

Sarah, not only at this time but EVERY time! So, in that context I heartily agree with you. But Sarah, please run! Please

I think that’s the first thing I can’t agree with Sarah Palin on. Well, maybe the second. She did endorse McCain.

There was an update at the end of this story. i’m sure ejdrapes just forgot to post it. /sarc.

Here’s the update:

UPDATE: In a subsequent phone call to The Daily Caller on Friday, Palin said her remarks to TheDC should not be interpreted as support for Romney in the race. Palin reiterated that she’s for ABO — “Anybody But Obama.”
A representative of SarahPAC also told TheDC that Palin has complained to Fox, whose site Fox Nation aggregated this article, for what she calls a misleading headline for this story.

Palin will support Romney if he is the GOP candidate as will Perry, Bachmann and Pawlenty. That's a fact!

Well, I hope that came out wrong. Or is a bad quote.

The credibility of the source is questionable. Following the link to "Weasel Zippers" (which in itself doesn't convey gravitas) shows the following (and I quote it verbatim including lettercase):

Not just a wrong decision. A dumb decision to boot.
