You may have seen that Sarah Palin is heading to a clambake on the seacoast of New Hampshire this afternoon, as Mitt Romney makes his official campaign announcement in the Granite State at noon.

Given the way Twitter/blogs/commentators responded to Romney’s recent Michigan health-care speech, Sarah Palin is clearly — whether purposely or not — being a pal to the former Massachusetts governor. By distracting reporters a bit, dividing their attention, it only means fewer sarcastic remarks about Romney today.

UPDATE: This makes the conspiracy richer?
