Barbara Bush says Sarah Palin should stay in Alaska; Mitt Romney is better, the Bushes say

In case you missed CNN's Larry King Live last night, former First Lady Barbara Bush gave a fairly acid response to the idea that Sarah Palin might one day get the job her husband and son held.

KING: What's your read about Sarah Palin?

BARBARA BUSH: Well, I sat next to her once, thought she was beautiful, and I think she's very happy in Alaska. And I hope she'll stay there.

The former first lady and her husband, George HW Bush, do seem to have a strong favorite in the 2012 GOP field: their son Jeb, the former Florida governor. But Bush41 said it's clear their son isn't interested and won't run. Their runner-up favorite is Mitt Romney.

"Don't want to kill him off," the ex-president said, joking about the potential downside of such praise. "He's a reasonable guy. A conservative fellow, which is good. ...He'd be a good president. A very good president."
