Palin: 'Absurd' not to ponder 2012 bid
By ConnPolitics.tv Editor on Feb 8, 2010 | In News, Republican Party, Sarah Palin | 20 feedbacks »
WASHINGTON (AP) – Sarah Palin says it would be “absurd” for her not to consider running for president in 2012.
The former Alaska governor and the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2008 says she will run for president if she believes it’s right for the country and right for her family.
Palin was asked on “Fox News Sunday” if she knows more today about domestic and foreign affairs than she did two years ago. Her response: “Well, I would hope so.”
She says her focus has widened since she was governor of Alaska. Palin says she gets daily briefings by e-mail on domestic and foreign policy issues from advisers in Washington.
Palin appeared on “Fox News Sunday.” She is a paid contributor to Fox News.

I think she should consider it, after all we do have primaries. Just like maybe Mitt Romney should try again, once again let the primaries decide.

She is definitely a breath of fresh air and I hope she runs. We need real people in the Government and not the so called "elites."
She is one of us.
She is one of us.

It is "absurd" that Pallin would even consider running for President. Does anyone really think she has anything to offer this great nation? She is obviously out for personal financial gain and nothing else. kd

I think she would be just as good as a candidate as Obama...I just don't think she would be a good president.

Sarah was by far the best candidate of the 4 that ran for President and VP. If she is stupid, then the current President and VP must be at a much lower level. We have a President that ran in all 57 States and a VP that believes JOBS is a 3 letter word. This IS stupid at its best.

I voted for Palin and that guy she ran with in 2008, and I'd vote for her again in 2012.

If Palin became president, I would love to see Katie Couric interview her in the oval office, that would be priceless! And Charlie Gibson would come out of retirement to interview her too! I wonder if he would wear his glasses and look down on her again?

Sarah Palin is much more qualified to be President than our current leader. I like a lot of what Palin has done. . . some excellent accomplishments . . . and would certainly like to learn more about her. It's much too early to decide, but I like what I've seen so far. I'd love to see her run.

Given the powers that be (the one's who offed JFK) put Bush II in the White House and he did not mind playing his part, they may be able to get Palin in there. Now is she does as she is told, that is another question. Right now they are putting a little mony in her pocket and allowing her to repay her debts.
I know they want a less 'dangerous' image, but they should not replace it with a fool.

After reading her book, I was impressed with her down to earth common sense. She is as qualified to be President as any that have served so far.

Palin has accomplished nothing, not even finishing her ONLY term in office as Alaska Governor. The only reason she was even picked as the VP candidate was to capture female swing voters. if she ever held high office she would only divide the country with extreme conservative views, and resign in fer final year to sell another book or host a talk show for $$$$. If the Republicans have a shot at the oval office, it is not with her!

She has accomplished more than Obama--even including his first year as an executive.
Only a left wing zealot will try and denigrate her.

The sources who tell you Palin is dumb are the same people who tell you Michelle Obama is beautiful and elegant. Enough said.

Palin rolls out the populist message of " Red, White and Blue Americana" (a message I love and one that still resonates through the majority of Americans) only to warm the crowd, as it were. She reminds me of "Rocky Balboa", perfectly willing to wade through a flurry of hard punches in order to deliver a few well-placed shots of her own.
I think Sarah Palin is absolutely fascinating. A strong, self-made, conservative, pro-life woman from Alaska, who hunts, fishes, loves sports, God, and country. And not that it matters, but she ain't exactly hard on the eyes, either. Obviously, judging by her following, millions of others share my sentiments.
I hope she decides to stick around and keep stickin' it to liberals. The next President -- whomever that may turn out to be -- needs her.

"She has accomplished more than Obama--even including his first year as an executive."
Boy, that's saying a mouthful.
"Only a left wing zealot will try and denigrate her."
Only people with an IQ above 50, will recognize her as someone who is about a million miles away from the competency that the office [should] require...Most Americans - obviously and unfortunately - fall below this threshold. Are you sure you're not an "intoxicated" observer?
As long as we only get to select from worse or worser, we will see
the country continue to disintegrate into nothing....

She denigrates herself when she cant even read the talking points she writes on the palm of her had before interviews.
Frankly, I hope she sticks around. She is fracturing the republican party at its base. If she runs, she will likely get all the conservative votes which will make it easier for a democrat to win the White House.
