Sarah Palin says 2012 presidential bid a possibility
(CNN) — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she would consider a run for president in 2012 if the situation was right for her family and the nation. In an interview recorded Saturday and broadcast on “FOX News Sunday,” Palin said she would run “if I believed that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family.”
“I think that it would be absurd to not consider what it is that I can potentially do to help our country,” Palin said, later adding: “I won’t close the door that perhaps could be open for me in the future.”
The interview was recorded before her keynote address Saturday night at what was billed the first national Tea Party convention. Palin, who had little national profile before running unsuccessfully for vice president on Sen. John McCain’s Republican ticket in 2008, remains a leading GOP draw and an unofficial symbol of the Tea Party movement of conservative discontent with government.
