WASILLA, Alaska (AP) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she wouldn't hesitate to run for the presidency in four years if it's God's will, even though she never thought Campaign 2008 would be "as brutal a ride as it turned out to be." In a series of interviews in the wake of last Tuesday's elections, Palin said she had no problem with Republican presidential nominee John McCain, but that she resents rumors she said were spread about her and her family by the Arizona Republican's aides. She emphatically denied that she was a drag on the GOP ticket.

"I think the economic collapse had a heckuva lot more to do with the campaign's collapse than me personally," the governor said in an interview broadcast Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show.

Palin also said "There were a lot of times I wanted to shout out, 'Hey, wait a minute, it's not true.' It's pretty brutal."

Nevertheless, the relatively obscure governor of Alaska, whose selection for the ticket by McCain last August brought excitement—and controversy—to the 2008 campaign, said she would be eager to do it all again under the right circumstances.

"I'm like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I'm like, don't let me miss the open door," Palin said in an interview with Fox News on Monday. "And if there is an open door in '12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plow through that door."

In the wide-ranging interview, Palin said she neither wanted nor asked for the $150,000-plus wardrobe the Republican Party bankrolled, and thought the issue was an odd one at the end of the campaign, considering "what is going on in the world today."

"I did not order the clothes. Did not ask for the clothes," Palin said. "I would have been happy to have worn my own clothes from Day One. But that is kind of an odd issue, an odd campaign issue as things were wrapping up there as to who ordered what and who demanded what."

"It's amazing that we did as well as we did," the governor said of the election in a separate interview with the Anchorage Daily News.

"I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration? If we're talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented and that is to a great degree what the Republican Party at the time had been representing," Palin said in a story published Sunday.

Palin has scheduled a series of national interviews this week with Fox, NBC's "Today" show and CNN. She also plans to attend the Republican Governors Association conference in Florida this week.

Palin has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2012. She also could seek re-election in 2010 or challenge Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Still uncertain is the fate of Sen. Ted Stevens, who is leading in his bid for another term but could be ousted by the Senate for his conviction on seven felony counts of failing to report more than $250,000 in gifts, mostly renovations on his home. If Stevens loses his seat, Palin could run for it in a special election.

Palin and McCain's campaign faced a storm of criticism over the tens of thousands of dollars spent at such high-end stores as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus to dress the nominee. Republican National Committee lawyers are still trying to determine exactly what clothing was bought for Palin, what was returned and what has become of the rest.

I heard her on Greta's show say that she's never even been in a Saks 5th Avenue or Neiman Marcus store, but a little factoid like that would never see the light of day when it is more scandalous to print lies.

Has anyone read or heard of the supposed $2M porn offer by some producer in Florida? You know they're gunnin' for her when ol' Larry Flynt thinks its a good idea.

Greta, in a leadup to her interview before airing had told one of the other talking heads that these things rolled off her like water off a duck. Given the viciousness of the attacks, one would have to have really thick skin.

And one of the bright spots which I heard Sarah say was a snapshot into her personality, too. It was when she indicated that the big O had called her and said 'good luck--well not too much luck' or words to that effect. She thought it was pretty funny or cool.

She hasn't taken the loss as the end of the world, there's a fight another day.........whereas there are way tooooooo many people, it seems, who have taken it right to their heart and it injures them unbelievably.

Oh, another thing.......she talked about how the kids are with all the crap.......she said they've grown up with her in politics, and local races can be just as bad. She did mention that she and Willow being driven somewhere saw protesters on a corner with t shirts on with filth written on them and Willow just asked how people could say that when they don't even know her. My thought was, geeze, this 14 year old kid has more going for her than a number of posters on 4um.

John John posed nude and he could have easily been elected prez, (which is probably why his plane fell from the sky because his first step would have been to knock off Senator "Bruno Rodham", the next to hunt down the murdering bastards who are enjoying their golden years after murdering JFK) There's no reason for a double standard where Sarah is concerned. Let her pose (if she wishes to) and collect the bux for her kids' college funds and run for higher office, too.

Flynt isn't gunning for her. He knows that he can sell double his usual monthly run if "Caribou Stacy" is the featured spread (sorry)

And, regarding the opinion that women "don't belong in politics" I say, "Do those who say that believe that woman could have bungled things any more than men already have?"

Our oceans, rivers, streams and aquifers are polluted and all fish are contaminated, our food supply is rapidly becoming toxic.

Men caused the deaths of 100 million people in the last century while rattling their sabers and sending other people to die for their crack brained fanatical ideas.

"Send one hundred men to plant our flag on that molehill! If ninety nine are killed to get it done then goddammit it was worth it!"

The few women who are considered "successful" as leaders were simply masculinized, ersatz men (Golda, (Israel) Maggie, (The UK) Ann, (Texas) etc.,.) and none have ever been allowed to implement the policies that women would make to run the world. If they "go rogue" and buck the party bosses they don't get elected.

"What do you mean we can't backshoot em or nuke their ignorant brown asses? You should go back home and raise a family, little mother. You ain't got the right stuff to run the world!"

Unfortunately, in the absence of male guidance (one notable exception being women volleyball coaches, but they too are masculinized) women aren't as successful at teamwork or organization, which is why, despite their superior numbers they haven't taken control.....yet.

BUT, if women do run things someday we'll probably be healthier, happier and less likely to lose sons and daughters in foreign wars.

And, it's a sad fact that the most gifted women don't seek careers in politics. If we want to attract more respected women candidates we'll have to make politics respectable, but those who have the power to accomplish that are blind to their own character flaws, the same flaws that created this obscene state of affairs.

Astoria is a gifted intellect, a sterling character and an imminently fair administrator, and I have no doubt that she'd be a fine leader. Is it any wonder why she wouldn't want to wallow in the bisexual "cash for favors" and "pork me hard!" mosh pit of (arguably) male-dominated Republicratic politics?

And, farmfriend is a courageous and energetic activist who has stood up for right against the prevailing political winds. Is there any reason why she wouldn't do a fine job if she had the power to override the entrenched corrupt majority?

And, our very own beloved christine is intelligent, courageous, ethical and patriotic, and she can be very persuasive! ;)

Who dares to suggest that he is by virtue of his sex better qualified than these women?

Well, you'll have to prove it to me.

I'm sorry but history says the opposite the suffragette movement used this same argument to win the passage of the 19th amendment a few short years later WW2 broke out and if you want to trace the explosion in government spending on social programs it may be a coincidence but it started in 1920
