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.

Whom shall she choose as her VP running mate? John McCain.

Jim DeMint? Rand Paul would be good, except he has no prior criminal experience.
Nah... she needs a neo-con warhawk to solidify the GOP. Maybe John McCain, Richard Pearle or perhaps Rush Limbaugh; then again, a so-called patriot ... Dick Cheney, again.

Let's get real here, the MILF hasn't a snowball's chance of becoming potus.
But she's a great spoiler to get hObama reelected, or Hellery elected. Worked in '08!
Since the VP slot for Palin is being considered..... I wager Ollie North. He comes from the era of Reagan and that close association should tie the knot for the GOP.

Buck - O.N. has so much baggage that he couldn't be elected anything, anywhere. The guy's a criminal loser.
I just don't think that she'll ever be nominated. Although, at this end-game stage of our Republic, it wouldn't make much difference.
America is a forgiving nation ... AND America has little memory AND not many give a damn anyways. Ollie is ripe for the pickens as future VP.

Now that the precedent for foreign-born presidents has been set, I expect the next [s]elections to be misshapen bald- headed, hooknosed, elephant-eared freaks right out of the knesset.
Were it not for the tellie, I'd agree. We need tellie friendly faces these days.
That is what was being said about Soetoro as recent as 6 months prior to his getting (s)Elected. While I think her unlikely, and is being promoted as a diversion, I would not rule her out. I don't care for her, but given a choice between her and Shrillery I'll take my neighbor's dog.
"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
Hence, your vote for Sarah Palin is urgently needed. Please overlook the Israeli-flag pin on her collar....
__________________________________________________________ Not even knowing the neighbor's dog, I'd take it, or either of Christine's cats, or either of my dogs as the next potus.
The Israel thing is what's a deal-breaker here. Even if she sucked all the chrome off my trailer hitch, I could not vote for this woman.
She's a foregone victim of her own misguided religious ideology.
__________________________________________________________ As long a your trailer hitch isn't attached to a 2001 JewMobile 911, your triple-process chromium plating will be safe.
No, her VP choice would have to be Zionist. I think she would go for McCain's choice--Joe LIEbermann.

Since both she and Barry kneel
to the Amen choir, there is no difference between them in terms of foreign
policy. It sucks hard, but that's the deal. The only difference I see is
color, gender and domestic policy. IMO she is the better that Barry on
domestic policy. Gun to your head, would you opt for another four years of
Barry & the Wookie, or her?
Per my original answer to AKA Stone: "Yes. America doesn't need a scrawny, chain-smoking, dim-witted, metrosexual, commie-sympathizing, in-the-closet muslim in the White House."

Agree, X-15. The Kenyan has to go.
Your answer?
Elections here are like a badminton game gone really, really wrong. Just batting the same flawed birdie back and forth over the net, time after endless time, with no change in the final score.
I didn't vote for Obama or McCain in 2008. If the choices are as bleak for the two party fraud in 2012, I won't vote for either one of them again. Gun or no gun, I won't cast a vote for the lesser of two evils. She's an idiot on foreign AND domestic policy. Need I remind you that she SUPPORTED the banker bail-out the 90% of the people were against.

I am sticking to outright revulsion and dismissal of the status quo. There is a sense about personal dignity, you know.
"we ought to lay off the criticism" -- Pinguinite, circa 2010-05-26 22:17:22 ET
I'd say, just go ahead and shoot me. I'm toast anyway.
Great analogy Lod. It's embarrassing that people even consider her an option, let alone a VIABLE or BETTER option than the idiot we have now. She can't even name a relevant supreme court case or a founding father.

I know all about all sitting them out, and I know all I need to know about both of them. Done the 'sit out' for years and things have grown worse. But I hear you if you don't care to put yourself in the either/or scenario.
No need to wait for an election :P
Some pundit recently asked, why is it that we have 51 candidates for Miss America, but only two for the potus? Something to think about.
I will vote for somebody, as I did in 2008. But, it won't be the two party fraud offering. Constitution, Libertarian, Independent, a candidate that supports the constitution and has enough balls to honestly stand up to the rampant corruption. Palin doesn't have a clue on foreign OR domestic policy. If she is the offering......I say no thanks.

lol.......That pundit stole that from a comedian. I heard that line in a routine, but I can't remember who said it. Maybe it was George Carlin......

I'm sure the PC folks among us might be uncomfortable with such a question, but the answer to the question is we'll experience nation wide riots, the likes of which we've not seen before. Ya' think?

Yep, I know the 3rd party route well starting w/Perot & finishing w/Buchanan in '00 (my last vote). The numbers generated by 3rd Party candidates (save Perot) are embarrassing and useless, IMO.
I always knew you had no political principles. Why don't you go to TOS and beg forgiveness?
"we ought to lay off the criticism" -- Pinguinite, circa 2010-05-26 22:17:22 ET
Still no answer? This isn't like you. Let me be more blunt. What will Harlem look like if Palin beats Obama?
Yes, but Perot did pretty good. I voted for the little bugger too. You are discounting the massive disgust for both parties. You have people say that only the two party fraud can win, but I say that's MSM indoctrination. A savvy candidate who knows how to use the Internet, bring out the youth vote and speak some much needed truth to power could make it. In fact, with such massive discontent, now is the best time to try and the best chance to succeed. The major stumbling block of being on the ballot in all 50 states would need to be rectified IMMEDIATELY. The worse the economy gets, the better the chances for an outsider. And, we both know, it's only going to get worse. ; (
