Video: Sarah Palin Has Head Start in Iowa for 2012 Presidential Race Says Newt Gingrich
Newt gives the early nod to Sarah Palin.
Speaking at an event Monday sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Gingrich said Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s continued popularity among the GOP’s base would give the former vice presidential candidate an instant boost in Iowa — the state whose caucuses, dominated by rank-and-file conservatives, kick off the primary season.
“Palin starts in Iowa with a substantial base,” said Gingrich, who also noted how important the Iowa caucuses have proven to be in presidential campaigns.
He said Palin is “very formidable,” and suggested the Alaska governor spend time developing “fairly sophisticated positions” on a range of issues.
This is obvious to everyone and why the LEFT in the media continue to pound on Sarah Palin.
Exit question: In the video above Sarah handled the paparazzi type reporter pretty well, no?

Palin has always been formidable; it was McCain’s camp who threw her under the bus. As for her handling of the pap, what intrigues me isn’t so much her ability to convey “No comment” charmingly as the fact that TMZ — THE celebrity gossip site — clearly realizes she’s enough of a draw to continue covering her.

I especially enjoyed her comment about Oprah.
