Sarah Palin may be edging closer to a 2012 presidential run, telling Fox News "I would give it a shot" if the American people think she's "the one." The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee was in Des Moines, Iowa, Friday for the Reagan Dinner, a big GOP fundraiser in the heart of water-testing country for presidential candidates. Palin has remained coy about her ambitions, but she elaborated a bit in an interview with Fox News, attaching several conditions to the possibility of a 2012 presidential run. "If the American people were to be ready for someone who is willing to shake it up, and willing to get back to time-tested truths, and help lead our country towards a more prosperous and safe future and if they happen to think I was the one, if it were best for my family and for our country, of course I would give it a shot," she said. "But I'm not saying that it's me. I know I can certainly make a difference without having a title. I'm having a good time doing exactly that right now." Palin, a Fox News contributor and best-selling author since leaving the governor's mansion last year, has become one of the Tea Party movement's biggest allies. She's also thrown her clout around in the GOP primary season with a string of endorsements. She said in February that she'd be "willing" to take on President Obama in two years, and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday he suspects she's testing the water. But while her star power can dominate the airwaves and shake up congressional elections, she's done little to organize a Republican ground game compared to other GOP hopefuls already stumping in the key lead-off states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Iowa hosts the first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses, and several other talked-about 2012 prospects have already visited or made plans to do so. "We've seen Tim Pawlenty here a fair amount of times, we've seen former Speaker Newt Gingrich here a number of times," said Matthew Strawn, chairman of the Iowa Republican Party. "Mitt Romney has returned to the state, Mike Huckabee was here during the primary." At least 10 Republicans appear to be jockeying for 2012. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who chairs the Republican Governors Association, came to Iowa in August. Indiana Rep. Mike Pence, a member of the GOP House leadership, is doing the rounds, as is former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. Lately the buzz is about Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, a former Bush budget director with major connections and growing popularity. Social conservatives have loved Palin from the moment she hit the national stage two years ago, when John McCain named her to be his running mate. Her Tea Party emphasis on constitutional and fiscal conservatism broadens her GOP appeal, but polls show her favorable ratings have been dropping. "Iowans just need to know that there's real substance there. She needs to prove that," said Ed Failor, president of Iowans for Tax Relief.

Palin's great. She's the natural heir to GWB.
Of course that's not true. Bush was a party loyalist and big spender. Palin is at the center of the current dissent within the conservative movement, starting when she endorsed the third party candidate in the NY 23 congressional race. On the other hand, Gingrich was completely tone deaf on NY 23. I certainly don't like how Palin chums around with Bill Kristol. I suspect she does this because she has little foreign policy experience and someone recommended that she use him. Everywhere else, she's the real deal and she is quickly becoming the most powerful woman in America.
My comment was aimed at how she mangles English.
She needs a speech coach. It's not an embarrassment to seek help to strengthen one's weak points. The CEO at my last company had a speech coach and I actually got to use him a few times. Palin needs to do the same thing.
They don't. http://www.politicususa.com/en/palin-rating-crash She doesn't mangle english, if she says something, well that is the way God intended it to be said.
She was in Louisville a day or two ago. I heard about twenty seconds of her voice on the radio news and I wanted to kill myself - not really, but she comes off as a rube.
The idiots over at LP are already picking her VP. You need to get over there and kick some ass.
Wow, you're fast!
Nothing compared to how Obama has mangled this country and the economy.
The only way she'll get a vote from me, is if she's the VP pick for Ron Paul. Otherwise, I'll stay home. The rest of 'em aren't worth a shit.
The current members of the "You're a worthless sack of shit" list includes WAR, calcon, e_type_jack-off, mad-dog (more like rabidly stupid), ibluafartsky and the fascism-shill no gnu taxes (aka 400 bucks, happyfunball, 50yardline, etc, etc.) If you're on the list, don't bother writing, 'cause you're a waste of flesh.
Yeah, that's it. Tell us you don't like it, then explain it all away with your "suspicions", shill. She "chums" around with Kristol because she's in the same camp as Kristol. Period. PERIOD!! Oh, and she adores John McCain! How's the relationship between McCain and Kristol? If a=b, and b=c, then a=c. My parents always taught me, "You are known by the friends you keep". It was true then, and it is true now. Truths never change. They are truths. And shills like you will explain truth away only to the weak minded. SHE WAS THE MAINSTREAM RINO GOP VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
If a Paul/Palin ticket wins, I'm taking out a large life insurance policy on Paul.

Ron's a health and fitness nut, so I bet he can dodge shoes at least as well as Bush, in spite of his age.
Like the Idea just occurred to her. LMFAO, it's OMFGPalin. With Mouth O'Donnell as a running mate. http://rising-hegemon.blogspot.com/ 8D
I love this guy. Right on the $, dayin, day out.... Y'know If we put Lindsey Lohan, Snooki, Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell and Mel Gibson (it says something that there's only one guy on the overexposed and incredibly annoying list -- we know day-to-day life splits this rather evenly, thanks TMZ mentality) on a desert island... ...we could devote more time to finding new ridiculous people to overexpose. It's all about renewal people!
Kritol is a beltway, establishment big government fool. Palin is an outsider who has spent the better part of the last 12 months doing her best to get other outsiders to challenge and beat GOP incumbents in the primaries. They are NOT in the same camp. PERIOD.
Bullshit. SHE WAS THE MAINSTREAM RINO GOP VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. You're either a fool, a shill, or probably both.

Sarah Palin may be edging closer to a 2012 presidential run, telling Fox News "I would give it a shot" if the American people think she's "the one."
According to the latest NBC News/WSJ poll, Palin’s approval rating has fallen to 29%. Her disapproval rating is 43%, and 24% of those surveyed are neutral on her. Only 13% of those surveyed have a strong approval of her. She is down from her 30% approval rating in March, and her 32% approval rating last December. Palin’s negative rating has gone from 45% in March to 43% now. Most troubling for Palin’s potential political future, only 4% of respondents aren’t sure about her.
And the Conservative plan to create jobs is......?????
