Sarah hints at WH run, slams Obamas
WOODBURY, Long Island - Sarah Palin flirted openly with running for president on Thursday, saying there's "no one" more qualified for White House multi-tasking than "a woman, a mom" and even went so far as to describe the man-on-the-street campaign she's considering.
...
“I am still thinking about it - I certainly haven’t made up my mind," said Palin, who was also asked why she hired a chief of staff this week and replied: "To tell you the truth, Todd’s getting kinda tired of doing it all for me."
"As for potentially an unconventional run and an unconventional cycle - that’s what going rogue is all about," she said, but added that if she runs it would not be all about the social media, and she also would be on the ground in Iowa.
"Certainly nothing is more effective than being there with the people in the diners, shaking hands," Palin said. “I’m not saying it’s going to be me offering my name up in the name of service. There is so much to be considered, but I certainly believe that this is going to be an unconventional political cycle.”
Let me be among the first to officially offer Sarah Palin my endorsement in the 2012 Republican Primary. And let me be the absolute first to predict that if she runs, by the time the campaign is over, Karl Rove will claim that Sarah Palin's candidacy was a plot hatched by the White House.
