Sarah Palins seemingly surprise appearance at the Iowa State Fair this week drew some questions from the press about whether or not she was trying to steal the media spotlight from other GOP candidates. Tonight she appeared via live feed to Fox News host Sean Hannity to discuss the GOP debate last night, which included her praise of Newt Gingrich for taking on the media(Fox Newss Chris Wallace) and drew cheers from the crowd when she proclaimed I AM still considering a run for president.
Hannity simpply asked the former Governor of Alaska are you considering a run for the presidency of the United States? Palin replied I am still considering a run, Sean, adding I think the good folks near iowa, you can ask be in here and I think they would tell you, it is time this country is put back on the right track. She then went on to make many of the predictable talking points to the adoring crowd surrounding her. Watch below, courtesy of Fox News:

GOD keep everyone from winding up like you; as you aren't much to rave about.
The green-eyed monster appears to have bitten you badly.
And yes, Palin has a very great deal to lose; unlike the others.
The best guess for why Governor Palin refused to sign up for a second season of that very successful show is because of her plans to run for the Presidency.
Now that is one heck of a stretch.
I think it’s not a big conspiracy, but instead:
Five million viewers tuned in for the premiere episode, a record for TLC.[8] The second episode attracted 3 million viewers,[9] a 40% drop in viewership
She’s kinda like the movie The Green Lantern was this year. Huge inflated expectations based on vapor. I’m not sure why some of you guys are so especially cultish though. Eventually I’ll be called a liberal communist for thinking she’s not the best choice, but oh well. IMO she’s only had a few good speeches and has no real political record. That’s ok, but.. I can make better tweets and facebook pages about the dangers of leftism, and I don’t have the circus thing going on.
First of all, Palin's show on TLC was a one off and it was NOT "cancelled"!
That show was the TOP one on TLC, for that season, BTW, if not for all time.
Since YOU obviously believe that Palin is just in it for the money, please explain, IN DETAIL, how not running will inflate her coffers. And please don't tell me it'll be more shows, speaking engagements, and/or books, because that's either disingenuous, or just plain old stupidity.
There is no such thing as an "abusive relationship" vis-a-vis a candidate and his or her supporters. "FANS" is not the operative word here.
That may be true, but IIRC, it was just a one off show and was never meant to be anything but that.
Sarah to AP today in Iowa: “When we’re ready to announce ... you won’t be able to miss the announcement.”

You don't seem to be a fan of passionate, conservative activists like we have here at freerepublic these are politically involved freepers not "abused" victims.
Well, imo it is a case of fans and being led on and so on. I think it’s more about some kind of emotional love thing than any real record she’s had. She’s sexy and hot.
Also, she’s made many many millions off her celebrity status. To discount that is.. Off to me.
What is your DETAIL of the show being canceled? Not the 40% drop on the 2nd episode that I posted?
Or did she, even worse here, cancel it herself in the middle of a success?
Think about what you’re saying. She quit as governor and then as the best rated show, only to wait it out like this on the election?
Does that really make sense to you? Is that even appropriate behavior?
Ah, the G card (gender) method. I defended Bachmann against sexist attacks. Now you’ll pull it against me?
If your writing here, is an example of your thoughts, positions, and writing style, you couldn't do as well as Palin's FaceBook pages and tweets; let alone better!
Obviously, you have no idea what her record in Alaska is.
Frankly, nobody needs to call you anything; you make it quite clear just what and who you are. LOL
LOL, the show was a smash hit for the entire season, don’t fight so hard to remain ignorant, you sound neurotic and weak.
Spot on ! :-)
Ah, well you and ansel are going in for the personal attack kill now.
You can’t keep it on subject of her, but hey, ok guys.. I get it.
So she quit that because? To run in 2012?
IMO she sure jumps around from books to tv to politics and back.
On planet earth politicians seeking a TV presence and writing books is politics.
As I've told you before, that was just a one off show and it was NEVER going to be anything else! She wanted to make a show touting ALASKA and that's what she did. It really is a simple as that.
And as far as the whole money thing is concerned, she didn't make as much as you believe, or you have no experience with sums in the millions. :-)
We, her supporters are NOT "fans". We know her record, we like what she has to offer, politically, and she resigned the governorship for very valid reasons, which you either don't understand, or more likely, you imagine is something with which to trounce her with.
Nothing you post makes any sense at all, so of course you don't get any of this. Pity that.............
I’m a precinct captain. If Sarah declares, I will go door to door for her. The others, meh.
Don’t know what you’re trying to say, but it seems that you’re on team Palin no matter what. Any criticism is heresy.
You’ve been doing this extremeist stuff for awhile.
I’ll say this, I’ll vote for her if she wins the primary. Heck, I might even vote for her FOR the primary if she runs.
I’ll not sit here and stand by this saint sarah perfection stuff and be called names for not group-thinking that she’s been some savior of mankind though. You two guys need some real help.
OTOH............all of your posts contain said PERSONAL ATTACKS!
Your problem is that you simply can't refute what I post, nor do you have anything factual in your rubbish replies.
LOL, you really have the victim thing down pat, no wonder that your mind constantly runs to “abusive relationships” even in politics.
