Palin on 2012: 'If it's right, then we will pursue that'
CNN ^ | 4/21/10 | staff

Posted on 04/21/2010 4:25:52 PM PDT by pissant

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."

I’m cool with DeMint as VP, and I echo your “God Bless Sarah Palin and allow her to lead America back from the brink of communism.”

English not your first language, troll? VR is not a suck-up, and when VR posted that the gloves came off LONG AGO, VR included those within the party, or as you put it, "inside the party."

You're the troll who said said she wouldn't win the nomination "once the gloves come off."

Shes a gunslinger.

Gosh, it's genuinely a toss-up as to which potential attacker of Sarah terrifies me most, VR! Mittens "Defender of ObamaCare" Romney? Bobby "Go Ahead, Beat Up My People! I Don't Mind!" Jindal?" Tim "The Invisible Man" Pawlenty? They're all so super-duper-SCAREeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee -- !!!! ;)

You’re the guy constantly trolling for negative attention, that is pretty desperate, and a clear sign that your life is lacking something.

I am sorry. But I saw a certain fire in her eyes on that August morning in Dayton, Ohio. I told my mom “there is our first female President”...

Does Sarah Palin want to be President ?

umm....

Do the Yankees want to the win the pennant ?

As long as Sarah is behind the “path to citizenship” for illegals she can forget it.

I suspect it will be Palin vs Hillary in the next election.

So now disputing anything palin is "trolling for negative attention" and indicative a dismal life...very creative....muddle-headed and off base but creative.

My life is chock full of blessings. Sorry to burst your bubble.

She supports a path to citizenship for illegals.

She would have to renounce that before she goes anywhere.
