Sarah Palin continues to leave the door to a White House run wide open.
In an interview with "100 Huntley Street," a daily Christian talk show based in Ontario, the former Alaska governor said she "doesn't know politically what is next for me."
But Palin said she will "pursue" a presidential bid in 2012 if she decides it's the best way to help everyday people with their challenges.
The former vice presidential candidate has generally avoided talking specifically about her 2012 plans, but her comments in Canada are her most forthcoming since she told Fox News in February that it would be "absurd" not to consider a presidential bid.
Palin said she and her family have had an "exciting and full ride" since the 2008 presidential campaign ended. Her travels around the country over the last year and a half, she explained, have given her a glimpse of some of the struggles that regular Americans face every day.
"If I can help provide some encouragement, some inspiration, some hope for them to get through their battles and make good decisions and get through a challenge, because that's what we've been able to do, then I am going to stay focused on that," she said in the interview, set to air next week. "Whether that's on a local level in my own little town of Wasilla, or in the Oval Office, if it's right, then we will pursue that."

Run Sarah Run!
(((PING)))
Id like to see Sarah and Michelle B. take that ride because win or lose it would be a ride well worth it.
Keeping the Sarah brand alive.
She’s not my top choice. Just posting the news.
If ever there was a candidate who is ready to run for President, it's Palin.
Ann, like most of the GOP and conservative establishment, sees Palin as a cash cow, someone who can raise money and give speeches but should sit on the sidelines waving pom-poms while "the boys" do the real work.
I disagree with this premise. It completely ignores Palin's 16 years of political experience, the fact that Palin is the most vetted Republican in the field, and that she has already soaked up the attacks against her.
"If I can help provide some encouragement, some inspiration, some hope for them to get through their battles and make good decisions and get through a challenge, because that's what we've been able to do, then I am going to stay focused on that," she said in the interview, set to air next week. "Whether that's on a local level in my own little town of Wasilla, or in the Oval Office, if it's right, then we will pursue that."
That is not to say that she's not being effective, she is.
Those two are not conservative. At all.
SARAH is a conservative, it is questionable whether or not she is a Republican if used by today's standard Repub-little men and women scared out of their own skin.
Life’s tough all over ain’t it? >:)
They’re my choice and my tagline.
That's not a "bug"; that's a feature. ;)
She won’t win the nomination, once the gloves come off.
The pic in question in no way, shape or form refers to either McCain or Mittens as "conservatives." Read again, please. ;)
Kent-I am losing it for sure....I had to read it THREE TIMES to get the gist. My gosh...I had better not watch ‘Idol’ ( I know, I know-but I like a good talent show, always have.) tonight, my brain cells really are leaving in droves. :^(
