Sarah Palin Is 'Engaged In The Internal Deliberations' About A Presidential Run
ABC News ^ | Nov. 17, 2010 | MARY BRUCE

New York Times article details Palin's political machine.

Sarah Palin has clarified for the first time in a newly published interview that she is seriously considering a presidential run.

"I am," Palin told New York Times writer Robert Draper when asked if she was weighing a run in 2012. "I'm engaged in the internal deliberations candidly, and having that discussion with my family, because my family is the most important consideration here."

In a personal profile to be published in the upcoming New York Times Magazine, Palin said her decision would involve "evaluating whether she could bring unique qualities to the table," admitting the biggest challenge would be proving her record.

Listen up Newt, Mitt, John, Huckleberry, etc.

You're screwed.

Newts a joke with no chance.

Mitt is a serious contender, but will not win.

Huck is a joke and will not run.

John who?

Rick Perry will join the race and have a shot.

Palin will be the one to beat, but I wouldn't be surprised if she joined a Perry ticket (they are friends)

The only thing keeping Sarah Palin from being the next President is her deciding not to run.

I think Perry will be the Palin-sanctioned candidate for POTUS.

Just as Palin heavily edits or at times completely writes most of her own speeches and insists on reviewing any statement issued by SarahPAC, ......................................... I guess if she was a real “Genius”, she’d have a speech writer, and, a teleprompter with her at all times.

It’s very difficult for the Ruling Class to continue trying to downplay Sarah Palin’s tremendous competence.

This difficulty will only increase.

Whoa...this article gives me great hope! And man, it sounds like she’s VERY SMART to me. Her instincts are brilliant, and those who underestimate her do so at their peril.

You say she’s “unelectable”?...yeah and you said Bristol couldn’t dance...How’d that work out for ya?

Love this at the end (Sarah is IN CHARGE)

“Palin heavily edits or at times completely writes most of her own speeches and insists on reviewing any statement issued by SarahPAC,”

kingattax, my comments are not directed at you personally...I was speaking generically about the PDS sufferers excuses that Palin is ‘unelectable’ Please don’t take it personally.

She would build the Fence at our southern border! Just like she built one to obscure the view of that stalker/writer who moved in next door. Then she would open wide the drilling and the spigots to all of our oil and natural gas!

She will be here in Iowa twice next week for the book tour.
Kind of obvious what she is thinking! (to me anyway!)

I’m sure that news sends a tingle up Chris Matthews’ leg .... and shudders up the spines of many others — both Dem and Pubbie.

I take Sarah Palin at her word. She told Bret Baier she will not run if there is another candidate willing to make the sacrifice to uphold true conservative principles and steer clear of the establishment web. She would be that person’s biggest supporter (and that is not just an expression-—her endorsement and efforts would be absolutely vital). If there is no such person seeking the nomination, she will run.

That is not a bad outcome-—we would have a true conservative in the White House and still have Sarah Palin in the media as a very powerful voice.

But if she runs I’ll support her 110%. At this point I see no solidly conservative alternative to Palin except for perhaps Mike Pence, Jim Demint or Paul Ryan, and two of those three have expressed no interest in running. There is Chris Christie, too, but his social conservatism is questionable.

“””evaluating whether she could bring unique qualities to the table,” admitting the biggest challenge would be proving her record.””

hussein didn’t have to prove his record. Heck, he didn’t have a past at all no matter what name he used over the years.

The Establishment is scared shitless of Palin.

Both Left and Right. That’s why I like her. She is also the only person who was willing to take on Obama, even when he had high favorability ratings.

Finally, last but not least, she takes on the media...love that.
