Sarah for President? She's Just a Girl Who Can't Say No
April 21, 2010
Palin on 2012: 'If it's right, then we will pursue that'
Posted: April 21st, 2010 05:05 PM ET

From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby


Sarah Palin discussed the possibility of a presidential run in an interview with a Canadian television show.
(CNN) – 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."

Oh PLEEEEEEEZE run, Sarah. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE.

1. She ain't gonna.
She has to say it in order to keep the book revenues flowing. As long as she continues to be noncommittal and teasing about it the media will keep following her around like lost dogs.

4. She isn't going to run..
What? And give up those 100k speaking engagements and getting rich off the other things she is involved in. Anyone with any sense knows she quit as Governor to cash in while she could. Being Prez would cut into her money-making enterprise.
