Romney Blasts 'Numbskull' Advisers for Palin Slams

Time quoted anonymous advisers to Mitt Romney dissing Sarah Palin in this article yesterday, and today Romney himself came to her defense. On Twitter, no less: "TIME says unnamed advisors disparaged @SarahPalinUSA. Anonymous numbskulls. She's proven her smarts; they've disproven theirs."

Consider their feud over, Ben Smith blogs for Politico. "The dynamic here: People who want to be the Republican nominee may not expect Palin to run, but they do want her supporters to like them." (More Mitt Romney stories.)
