. >> bill: if you were making a movie with bill maher, i don't know if that would be possible and that's the problem here. michelle, that there is bad blood may be overstating it. maybe overstating it because what happened in the primary season was that sarah palin was obviously not for mitt romney. the romney people obviously recognized that and now saying we got it. really we really want her around? the answer so far is no. >> this isn't surprising because she is sort of a wild card and there is that possibility that she will go rogue. she's very charismatic. romney isn't. so there is the possibility they're at risk she will outshine him. right now, romney's campaign is focused on independents. sarah palin is a bit polarizing. what they're doing is they don't want to be associated with her. >> bill: is that really smart, though, michelle? you can give the governor of alaska a platform on a day that mitt romney isn't speaking. you can have her rally as jeanine pointed out, the tea party folks who adore her, and what's the down side of that? they don't even have to see each other really.
