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.”

From Politico story:Sarah Palin's presidential campaign prospects remain a mystery during Iowa trip

And when the Daily Caller wrote a story suggesting that she’d said she favored Romney, the Palin entourage was visibly angry. Todd Palin pulled the story up on his BlackBerry, and handed it to his wife — “those dang reporters!” she exclaimed. A few moments later, a Palin aide put the Caller reporter, Alex Pappas, on the phone with the former governor.

“So what you’re saying is that I said that I support Mitt Romney?” she asked Pappas. “You need to be clear, otherwise people really lose faith in the state of journalists today.”

Her contention: She said she supports ABO, or “anybody but Obama.”

Er, where did I post anywhere that Palin ENDORSED Romney or this comment means she would ENDORSE Romney? I didn’t. The original article I posted included the ABO - Anybody But Obama line.

How can any true conservative vote for Mitt Romney when he supports comprehensive immigration reform,(code phrase for amnesty).

Re; Obama photo- Have you ever seen an expression like that on an American president before? Hitler, maybe but not an American president. Rush said he looked demonic.

Yep, there are so many candidates that it will seal the deal for Romney.

I knew we were going to get us another RINO. Oh goodie!

OK I’ll admit a little pot stirring here. Of course we know Palin KADs have never done that on FR before. ;-)

She supported McCain. You really think if Romney gets the nod, Bachmann won’t support him? Keep dreaming.

#15 gives an explanation. She would support the ‘pub candidate, even if romney. I wouldn’t.

somebody like Mitt Romney? Yeah.

Somebody LIKE Mitt Romney. Romney in theory is a Republican. So Sarah is saying, in theory she would support a Republican.

Sarah tweaks the media once again. And it would seem, that Sarah has also tweaked a few FR posters.

I would not read more into this than a pledge to not run as an independent or third party.
