If Palin runs for presidency, it will be 'to win it'
Agence France-Presse ^ | November 9, 2010

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....

Unless another Reagan, Washington, Jefferson or similar shows up, she's my pick.

No one better appears on the horizon. Any of a number of warmed over has-beens will creep out from the brush.

We want no part of the father of the Democrat Party though his virtues are overrated and his flaws ignored.

I haven't seen anyone better, so if she runs, and unless someone better enters the race, I'm in.

Other choices to date: Romney. Huckster. Daniels. Pawlenty. Barbour.

Longshot possibilities: None that I see yet.

Tis a no brainer.

If she runs she has my vote and 100 percent dedication in trying to help her get elected. Sarah has always been my first pick, DeMint being 2nd, then Bachmann..those three are my candidates right there, but having Sarah becoming President would be the most amazing thing ever

but the US conservative powerhouse

Huh ??? Did I miss an epiphany in the media ??? When did Sarah go from 'failed candidate' to 'powerhouse ???

Interesting how the event of one week ago completely changes the lamestream's narrative

It sure would be nice to have an American back in the White House. This “U.S. citizen” crap isn’t cutting it.

She’s got my vote, but what do I know, I’m just a cultist, according to Pissant

Beautiful picture. I believe that was taken at Glenn Beck’s rally. She was waiting to speak and said a prayer first. So many good things to say about her.

I found it on Bing as an image when I searched “President Palin” and I think it was from e-bay.

Yes, dear Humal. Glenn’s photographer noticed her standing off to the side, all alone, in prayer.... for 10 solid minutes. He was so moved, his entire opinion of her changed. (Libtard democrat).

Oh, I prefer that answer so much more than ‘I’ll have to see who else wants to run’ kind of answer.

I don’t doubt for a sec she’d be ‘in it to win it’.
