Romney hopes Palin ‘gets in’

In an interview with USA Today published Wednesday, Mitt Romney took a line from Sarah Palin to explain why Rick Perry is ahead of him in public opinion polls for the GOP nomination. "Borrowing from my favorite line of the 2012 season from Sarah Palin… polls are for strippers and cross-country skiers," he said. "Look, they're going to be highly fluid. My guess is we're each going to go up and down."

Romney also said he hopes Palin throws her hat in the ring. "She would make the race that much more exciting, bring more people to watch the debates, and I hope she gets in," he said.
