Romney: Sarah Palin’s the ‘best thing’ that could happen to me (Whistling past the graveyard?)
CNN ^ | June 6, 2011 | Rebecca Stewart

For any other candidate, raining on a presidential announcement parade would be seen as sabotage. Not former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

The 2012 presidential candidate told CNN’s Piers Morgan Monday that he wasn’t offended when former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin appeared in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire on the same day he was set to formally announce his intention to seek the 2012 GOP nomination for president.

In fact, though Romney shared his plans one week in advance and Palin insisted on keeping the destination of her top-secret bus tour under wraps until the day before her New Hampshire appearance, Romney insisted that the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee “really didn’t ruin my day.”

“In a lot of respects it’s the best thing that could happen to me,” he said on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight.”

“Right now, your greatest enemy is overexposure. People get tired of seeing the same person day in and day out.”

And Romney, who also sought the GOP nomination in 2008, had nothing but kind words for Palin, who’s still batting around the will-she-or-won’t-she question....

What's this? His 3rd time running for president? He's like stale whitebread.

That front page is great. Looks like Romney even got beaten out by a rabid fox.

Not necessarily.

But you, Mitt...yeah, we got tired of seeing you at all a long time ago.

“I think Sarah Palin is generating enthusiasm and interest in a campaign this year. That’s a good thing. She has a lot of energy and passion and bringing it to our race is positive for us.People are going to start focusing on the elections probably after Labor Day,” he said.




Hmmmm, Labor Day, you say? Maybe!

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."

"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."

"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."

… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

A Romney presidency would be just as devastating to the USA as Obama's has been.

If Romney had the capacity to speak or recognize the truth about anything, he might have won the primary and general elections in 2008. He doesn't; he didn't; and he never will.

I understood your post.
You said:

So if Palin gets in, it certainly helps Romney by dividing the conservative vote further in primaries. No wonder he is thinking her and encouraging her.

So, who is your choice?

If you think Bachmann and Palin are working against each other, you are delusional.

Should he change his name to Willard “Crouton” Romney?

Yes she is. She is going to spare him the embarrassment of making a total fool of himself in the White House.

good to see that. And if she’s there in NH, every say, she gets the same spot, every day. Because they know what sells papers, and it’s not Huntspawlomney.

Yes, but rarely is it filmed by someone detailing it with such eloquence. We could have used this video three years ago.
