VAN SUSTEREN: All right, you talk about out of office -- let me ask you about 2012, not about you specifically. I may get to that. I don't know. But in terms of (INAUDIBLE) I'm sure you've seen all the controversy surrounding Donald Trump. What do you think about Donald Trump?
PALIN: I respect what he's doing in putting his money where his mouth is. He's actually investigating his speculation there on Obama's birth certificate and Obama's college records and all those things that Obama, though he promises to be a transparent official, he certainly isn't because he could certainly reveal many of these documents and put many of these issues to rest.
But here's -- here's the point with Donald Trump, though, which I hope that he will seize this opportunity. Right now, he's got the spotlight. He's got the megaphone. Now is his opportunity to really force a shift in debate and discussion in this country, get his media friends or his media enemies to really start listening to the other issues that Donald Trump really wants to talk about, and that is the high cost of fuel, that is our relationship with China. That is the bankruptcy road that we are on and what we can do to get off that road. Those things that Donald Trump can talk about I really hope that the media will start shifting with him now that he has the megaphone and the spotlight to the more important, very, very important issues.

Why do you think women won’t vote for a woman as president?
Huck’s pulling out today was a plus for Palin. If she’s going to run, I wish she’d hurry up and do it.
What a load of crap! Sarah Palin has been doing the heavy lifting against Obama for two and half years. where has Trump been? How many conservative candidates did he help in the 2010 midterms?
Furthermore, poll after poll after poll shows that the majority of voters like Obama personally, but they are overwhelmingly opposed to his policies. Swing voters especially are turned off by personal attacks.
You won’t beat the man in 2012 by attacking him personally, but you can beat him by attacking his policies. Voters realize that his policies are making their own lives more difficult.
Asking voters if they are better off now than they were four years ago is how you get the Obamunist out of office. You won’t get him out by attacking his pastor, his radical associates, his socialist past, etc. That was tried in 2008 and it didn’t work.

I must have missed that announcement. Got a link?

Great interview. Sarah Palin is a straight shooter and is fearless, I love her!
It is possible that a better candidate will emerge but she is 100% Presidential material.
“Why do you think women won’t vote for a woman as president?”
Good question. If you look at pools for either Palin or Bachmann or Hillary, there is/was a gender gap. I’d read things over the years that suggested this might be the case, and it looks accurate to me. I hope I am wrong.
Nope, Obama is NOT that popular, and his plummeting poll numbers show it. He hasn't been over 50% in a Rasmussen poll in a year, often reaching 55-56% disapproval.
Rush has it right. The first conservative to stop playing footsie with Obama and go after him wins.
Never mind. I found the blog post claiming that Huck had released his SC team. His spokesman has denied the rumor to two independent sources.
Almost had me in a party mood there.

Exactly: Republicans gave this guy two years’ worth of free passes. Had they been attacking him as much as the Tea Party, his popularity rating would be in the very low 30s by now.
Planned Parenthood has DEEP pockets. Any girl or parent of a girl that has had a statutory rape abortion should recognize that now is the time to sue those bastards.
Most voters like Obama personally, but don't approve of his policies: poll
Obama “personally” well-liked … but his spending policies are not
- JP
So who else besides Trump is taking it to Obama? Personally I’d like someone that fights for my beliefs for a change. The reason Trump is doing so well is because HE FIGHTS. He and Sara are the only two fighters in the entire GOP. Well maybe the Az/NJ/Wi govs too.
At least we see it... it’s a beginning.

I hope you are asking these groups to put your number on their “don’t call” list. That has worked very well for us.
I did with Huckabee,Palenty and Romney. Gingrich can still call, but he won’t get any money unless by chance he gets the nomination.
“We are going to do to obama what the left did to Bush...”
THATS what we want to hear!
“And I don’t see her ever endorsing his candidacy, given his record, his stated positions and his political contributions”
I didn’t see her campaigning for Juan McStain but she did so I would not rule out an endorsement for Trump.
Another FOX talking head brushing by the possibility that Palin may run.
