Sarah Palin On Mitt Romney's Conservatism: 'I'm Not Convinced' [View all]

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has tried as best she can to remain diplomatic when it comes to assessing the state of the 2012 primary race. Her skepticism of Mitt Romney has been evident throughout, but it's always couched with strained excuses as to why voters should back Newt Gingrich -- usually, the excuse being that voters should vote to keep the primary going.
That changed slightly on Sunday morning when the 2008 vice presidential candidate took some legitimate swipes at the GOP frontrunner.
"I trust that his idea of conservatism is evolving and I base this on a pretty moderate past he has had, even in some cases a liberal past," Palin told Fox News Sunday. "He agreed with mandating on a state level what his constituents needed to be provided, needed to purchase in the way of health care and Romneycare, which of course was the precursor to Obamneycare."
Palin then went on to correct herself, calling it "Obamacare" before deciding that she should "coin" the term "Obamneycare," though Tim Pawlenty actually has the rights to that one.
