Pawlenty, Barbour, and Romney all gave interviews this morning and were asked about the possibility of running in 2012. Unsurprisingly, they offered vague answers, claiming it was still too early and they are unsure of what the future will hold.
Asked about Sanford, Romney offered his view:
“…Not all mistakes are the same. And not everybody is a governor or a senator or a president. And we expect [those] people to live by a higher standard, because what they do is going to be magnified, their families are going to be hurt more by what they do, the things they care about will be hurt, and the culture of the nation and the people who follow them will be hurt.”
