WASHINGTON -- Sarah Palin said Sunday she might run for president in 2012 if she decides it's good for her family and country. Fresh from a speech to conservative activists at a "tea party" gathering in Nashville, Palin said that President Barack Obama could be defeated in 2012, that she's gearing up on foreign policy and other issues, and that she would run herself if it felt right. "I would," she said on Fox News Sunday. "I would if I believed that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family. Certainly, I would do so." A paid contributor to Fox News, Palin added, "I think that it would be absurd to not consider what it is that I can potentially do to help our country. I don't know if it's going to be ever seeking a title, though. It may be just doing a darn good job as a reporter or covering some of the current events."Asked how she would make the decision, the former Alaska governor said she "thankfully" has plenty of time. She noted that other potential candidates for the Republican presidential nomination may know more about the issues.

If she is elected we deserve our fate.
Obama has hinted he's not running in 2012. If he doesn't, the Dems will be a rudderless ship without sails. Who's going to replace him at short notice? Hillary?
Not that Hillary vs Palin wouldn't be interesting to watch, in a deeply depressing kind of a way.
