PLUMSTEADVILLE, Pennsylvania — Sarah Palin teased yet another audience about whether she will seek the presidency in 2012, but the US conservative powerhouse insisted that if she did run, she would be "in it to win it."
Palin, the Republican 2008 vice presidential candidate, told several hundred people at a fundraiser for a Christian school in Pennsylvania that she would need to take "prayerful consideration" of a White House bid and acknowledged such a move would require "great sacrifices" from her family.
"I wouldn't do it just to shake it up," she said when asked whether she was considering a presidential bid in two years time.
"I'd be in it to win it. I would certainly have to put a lot more thought in it than what I could give you today in terms of an answer."
Her comments echoed those made by Democrat Hillary Clinton -- the woman who to date made the most serious bid for the presidency -- in January 2007, when she announced her candidacy by telling Americans "I'm in. And I'm in to win."
Clinton ended up narrowly losing the Democratic Party nomination to Barack Obama, who appointed her secretary of state after he became president....

Yep, Michael has turned on her for some reason. Someone has gotten to him I suspect. I’ve never heard anything but praise from him about Palin in the past. It seems almost like a GOP cabal at work to stop her! It won’t work - the good old boys are only going to piss us unwashed masses off! They had better understand the hornet’s nest they are poking their stick into!
Michael Reagan had nothing but really positive things to say about Sarah Palin.
The "anonymous" bloggers saying otherwise haven't put forth any evidence that I have seen of anything negative from Michael Reagan.
Unlike her running mate in 2008, who was in it to....well, I don't think he was ever in it.
Other choices to date: Romney. Huckster. Daniels. Pawlenty. Barbour.

I think Brownbeck has his eye on the WH, hence his run for government. Perry also is making prez noises, IMO.
He was so moved, his entire opinion of her changed. (Libtard democrat).

Amazing story. May there be many, many more like it.
What kind of idiot would run for the presidency not to win it?
Senator McCain?
The truly sad thing about 2008 was that McCain WAS running to win.
Yes, that really showed when he stopped his campaign to go to Washington to blow it up in his face....yes, you are so right!
i didnt understand ths phrasing either but i think jennings 2004 captures what she means. it might be a dig at the McCain 2008 campaign, or how about Fred Thompson, was he in to win?
Also every 4 years it seems we have cameo or celebrity candidacies from either party, e.g. Alan Keyes who have no shot. Why do they bother?
It could also mean that she will not run just as a means to promote her celebrity status as a means to keep up her value as an author and speaker, or even as a ploy to be “kingmaker”.
sure McCain was running to win, but it seemed that he also thought it was no big deal if he didnt. He didnt take off the gloves at all. He did bring a knife to gunfight, and he did so willingly. Pathetic.
I wish it we not so, but here it is:
