Former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is raising new speculation in conservative circles that she is already preparing for a 2012 presidential bid. In the latest and clearest example of her plans, Palin met with some 50 national conservative leaders Wednesday in Palm Beach, Florida where she discussed economic and diplomatic policy and led some to declare that she's in the race.
"This was an indication that she's strongly considering running," said one insider. "She was very knowledgeable and gave intelligent answers, despite how she's been characterized," added the insider. "And she was extremely charming."
The meet-and-greet was organized by the conservative magazine and website Newsmax and its boss Christopher Ruddy. Palin, currently a Fox News contributor, has said Newsmax is one of her favorite news sources. Her trip sprung from an accidental meeting in June at the Belmont Stakes race in New York when Palin and Ruddy bumped into each other.

Who'd a thunk that the former governor of the largest state in the country wasn't an absolute moron. I sure hope Barry's bought into the who Palin as a dunce nonsense. I can't wait to see his face on election night 2012.

I wonder if Rush was there? I did not hear him mention it on his program today but I did not get to listen to every minute.

50 national conservative leaders? Who are they? Self anointed?

Go Sarah, she can do it, all we have to do is win the electoral college.
She will be hated by more than a good third, but that is not important. That third to half will hate whoever runs. Sarah can feed off our love!!
All that really matters is the Supreme Court...and a few other things, but basically the Supreme Court.
To: Jeff Head
She’s gonna kick his ass.....I can’t wait!
To: Friendofgeorge
Well, now that she has her house in order — congress, that is.

During her stop, Ruddy and his staff presented Palin with a faux Newsmax cover showing her running for the presidency. It was headlined: "Yes in 2012."

There’s a beauty on her face that isn’t makeup. It isn’t even external. It shines from way down inside.

Think she might be able to handle an interview other than Greta yet?
