Close friend of Palin’s: She’ll seriously consider running for president
Hot Air ^ | July 03, 2009 | ALLAHPUNDIT

No way to tell if this is a real window onto her mind or just spin to salve the wound of a tough day, but the Palinistas deserve some hope.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin plans to remain extremely visible and will give serious consideration to running for president in 2012, but has made no decision, a close friend said after her startling announcement Friday that she will resign her office…

Those friends say she plans to give a series of paid speeches, and will also make free GOP appearances, raising money for the party and for issues. She also plans to help other candidates, collecting political IOUs for herself…

Friends said Palin brushes off hostile news coverage but feels that the ethics complaints in Alaska – accompanied by attacks in the legislature, and the relentless pounding she was taking at home – were taking a toll on her family and her state. So she believes the decision was selfless, the friends said.

But:

“She has never been able to deliver a succinct message and this one was all over the place when this really needed to be one of her best performances,” a Republican congressional official said.

Maybe she just wants to take a break and spend some time with her little guy and the girls.

That’s fine, it was obvious that she wouldn’t run for re-election, I just don’t get why she decided to step down now. Why not wait til her term is up then start campaigning for other candidates. Something about that date, July 26th has meaning, just don’t know what it is yet. Love watching the libs squirm and try to figure out what she is doing. Nothing is better then to watch libs heads spin around, it’s hilarious

My source says she had no clue how to handle the media attention and got out of the kitchen.

“She has never been able to deliver a succinct message and this one was all over the place when this really needed to be one of her best performances,” a Republican congressional official said.

So said a RINO on Romney's or Soros' payroll. Here is what I heard her say:

"I look forward to helping others – to fight for our state and our country, and campaign for those who believe in smaller government, free enterprise, strong national security, support for our troops, and energy independence.”

I would be the happiest critter in the world if Sarah knocked BO off his perch in 2012, if no other reason than the pain it would cause her detractors.

Wow, you could make a lot of money with that special talent - a talking anus.

The best thing Sarah could do right now is take a job at Fox News. This would give her a huge audience for her ideas and keep her in the public eye. Ideally she would be in Washington or New York, so she could become a media insider. This would force the liberal media to bestow on her at least a modicum of professional courtesy that she could never have as a politician. Then, after using the air time for two years to get her message across in a way she never could as governor of Alaska, she could jump into the 2012 race for President. Make it so, Sarah.

She’s going to fun for president, and then quit politics.
