Back in February, the MTV news team spoke with Sarah Palin about her thoughts about the Republican primary contest way back on Super Tuesday.

Here’s what she said about Ron Paul: “He’s cool. He’s a good guy. He’s so independent. He’s independent of the party machine. I’m like, ‘Right on, so am I.’ ”

And, Palin on Mitt Romney: “He said all the right things about resource development in Alaska.”

And, on the election: “I didn’t have an opportunity to speak to all the candidates, but again, it’s not my job to speak to all the candidates and tell Americans who to vote for. That’s Americans’ jobs, to figure out what candidates are standing for. That’s the voters’ jobs.”

What a difference a few months makes.
