Family friend and fellow Fox News contributor Greta Van Susteren is the only journalist we've noticed that has much access of any kind to Sarah Palin's inner circle. And this morning Politico pointed to her surprising prediction on her blog: "First, I have absolutely no inside track (despite what some may think) but I am guessing Governor Sarah Palin is running for President in 2012." That seems like a pretty bold prediction for someone without any "inside track."
But, despite Van Susteren's claim to the contrary, it does seem like she would be privy to the workings of a nascent Palin campaign. Remember, she was the only reporter Palin gave much access to while on her family vacation/historical "One Nation" bus tour. And she is the go-to Fox News person for a Sarah Palin interview, so much so that she's had to defend her unprecedented access to the family: Politico noted back in 2009 that she nabbed Palin's "first post-election sit-down, Todd Palin's first interview during the campaign and Bristol Palin's first interview since giving birth."
Still, the reasons that Van Susteren lists for her "she's running" guess on her blog are pretty thin, and they amount to this: we haven't heard from her since the bus tour (maybe she's planning something), "she has never said no" (maybe she's thinking yes), she seems to be getting a lot of media attention (maybe it's a strategy), she has a lot of volunteers in Iowa (maybe that's her organization) and finally, "Are there any signs she is not running other than that she is not physically in Iowa and has not declared a candidacy?" Well, sure, those reasons could be used to make arguments for and against Palin getting into the race. But the reasoning matters less than the mere fact that Van Susteren made a prediction.

The 2012 Iowa Caucuses are scheduled to take place on February 6, 2012.
Greta is the only one on FOX that was positively effected by Palin. Since Palin was picked by McCain I have watched Greta go from a CNN throw-away liberal mostly doing tabloid news on FOX, to her becoming much more conservativeThe only times I've ever seen Rush on FOX has been on Greta's show.
$2 million of it from me, FRiend.
Now was Greta the liberal in Aruba are not//????
You have to be crazy to think Sarah Palin is not going to enter the race.
For Palin it is a win-win situation even if she loses.
Palin and Perry of Tex. or Bolton for V.P. works for me OK. Marxists need not apply.
The only hope for America is for Sarah Palin to be the next President of the United States.
That is not an exaggeration.
The corruption is so deep in DC, it will take an honest outsider to root it out and to preserve the Constitution. When Sarah takes an oath, she means it.
She has done it before—and she can do it again.
That is why the hatred is white hot for her—DC will never be the same and the political class knows it.
Don’t believe me? Even Ray Charles could see the kabuki theater being played today alone in DC on the nation’s finances is a crock.
She reported on the Natalie Holloway case, but how does that make her liberal or conservative? It’s her job.
If Palin runs for president the policians and the MSM will run out of depends in DC.
She needs to announce on August 4, as a birthday present for Obama.
Well, she’s beating them like a drum, but playing them like a Stradivarius.
Excellent post.
May it be so. But lets not stop at just the monolith of federal government.
Millions of Americans have been living on the backs of tens of millions of other Americans via bloated, unaccountable federal, state and local governments.
For example, have you seen how ridiculously over-equipped your local police and fire departments are lately? And lets not even talk about their pensions.
Commence firing, fire at will.
Oh, E3, from your keyboard to God’s ears!
How would it be a win if she loses?
Wouldn't that be fabulous! That would be absolutely GREAT!!!
“She sure looks like a candidate to me.”
Unpossible! She’s not running because she can’t win because she quit because she’s not running. Just ask the PDS brigade running round the maypole in circles ;)
