Mitt Romney: Sarah Palin would be a 'great' President

"Be careful what you say about her. She has a rifle, you know."

Although Mitt Romney claims that he hasn't made up his mind if he'll run for President in 2012, he says his wife is all for the idea and is urging him to throw his hat into the ring. The veteran of the 2008 race for the GOP nomination also says another former governor he knows 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."

When the CNN host asked whether Romney could beat Palin, he replied, "I don't know the answer to that."

Romney has been making thge media rounds to promote his new book, No Apology: The Case for American Greatness.
