Palin does stand-up on Tonight Show; Romney elicits yawns from Letterman

If that trend continues, it looks like Sarah Palin has the inside track for the Republican nomination in 2012.

“The truth is I’m glad I’m not vice-president…I’m glad because I wouldn’t know what to do with all that free time,” quipped Palin. About the ceremonies that marked the conclusion of the Winter Olympics she said: “The minute I saw the giant moose I realized I hadn’t cooked anything for the kids’ dinner.”
