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."

If you had not noticed, losing is not an option in 2012. If the GOP loses in 2012, all hope is gone, so the person we pick better be able to win.

Magnificent campaigns are moot if the commies win.

No, trolling on threads for month after month seeking negative attention is “constantly trolling for negative attention, that is pretty desperate, and a clear sign that your life is lacking something.”

That part was mostly rhetorical.
I believe they would win, and it will be a landslide.

Think again. If Obozo manages to cram through amnesty, it is all over but the crying.

Why are people here ignoring reality?

The dems will use the same process that they used for healthcare.

And infinitely more electable than any of the perfumed princes of the GOP or the Dems that you would support.

With all due respect ma’am, you’re incredibly naive or just plain dumb if you think it won’t get ten times rougher in the primary.

You’ve been trolling against Sarah Palin for months.

You posted the stupid comment. Live with it. You couldn’t defend it.

Yup. The lessons of '08 are still fresh enough, alas. We have no one but ourselves to blame, ultimately, if we allow the RNC-types to manuever things to their liking yet again:

This response is just too funny on multiple levels...

Bring it on. I think SP will blow away any of those who ran last time. There could always be somebody else, but Mitt can’t take her down. I dont think any of the SP supporters want a coronation; i’d rather not see RR 11th commandment violated but SP will know her stuff. It’s laughable to believe she might think it will be easy.

Well, I just don't know what to say to you. I do not believe it is over, I will never give up, I will never surrender, I will not comply to the negativity.
