Sarah Palin: ‘Of course’ interested in 2016 White House bid

Sarah Palin is “of course” interested in running for president in 2016, she said in an interview released Friday, and hopes to see a woman in the Oval Office. “Yeah, I mean, of course, when you have a servant’s heart, when you know that there is opportunity to do all you can to put yourself forward in the name of offering service, anybody would be interested,” Palin told ABC News in the interview, which was conducted on Thursday in Las Vegas.

And, hinting at her own interest in potentially joining the race, she suggested that gender might drive her involvement. “America has had enough of seeing that sign on the Oval Office door saying, ‘No Girls Allowed.’ I know that,” she said. While she “doesn’t necessarily” have run, she is “happy to drive the competition.”

Palin’s comments come one day before she is expected to attend the Iowa Freedom Summit, a gathering hosted by Rep. Steve King that will bring several potential Republican presidential contenders to the early caucus state. hosted by King (R-Iowa). Others on the guest list include New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

“Big competition, and that competition in the GOP … will surface that candidate who can take on Hillary, be ready for Hillary and show the nation what it is going to take to get the country back on the right track — because we can’t afford status quo, because status quo lately has been Latin for, ‘We are getting screwed,’ and status quo has got to go,” she said.

I don’t trust POLITICO. I want to hear for myself exactly what she said.

At this point I don’t see her as being a better candidate than Cruz, Jindal, or Walker.
I take her more seriously if she had taken the AK senate seat, which should have been easily in her reach.
In a Prez or VP run she would just be walking into the Dem controlled media’s preplanned artillery target still marked on their map from 2008.

You’ll have to help me understand how what she says today is any different from what she said in 2010 about running.

Pretty much sounds the same.

But time will tell.

[Huskrrrr]

How about a Palin/Hillary wrestling match. Winner take all.

I just everyone to remember that no one, Not Sarah, Ted Cruz, No One Can be our Saviors.

They do not have the power.

We must save ourselves from the Tyranny.

Remember what Benjamin Franklin Said -A Republic if YOU can keep it

Spot on.

I’m committed to Cruz. But she’d make a great Secretary of State.

************

I have no idea as to what Palin will or won’t do. But I personally don’t see her tied down
to any office in DC. She appears to me to be one that likes to have the freedom to move
about as things change. Being tied to an office in DC would take that freedom away from her.
JMO.

Dittoes. She has quit politics and has taken the cushy TV jobs. If she ever had any future political ambitions, she abandoned them years ago.

[TADSLOS]

Spot on KC. We have to take ownership for our Republic or someone else will.

[GeronL]

Cruz-Palin or Palin-Cruz aounds good to me

[Responsibility2nd]

How about a Palin/Hillary wrestling match. Winner take all.

Change that to a Palin/Hillary Drinking Contest, and Hillary will take that challenge.

One of the best photo’s in existence. I’d love to make a 20’ by 30’ mural of it and put it on my parlor wall.

[onedoug]

Me too. CRUZ 2016

My vote is Secretary of the Interior. She has a love and reverence for the land,while understanding the need for natural resources. It would be a natural fit.

She’s interested in a White House bid, of course. We all are interested in the 2016 WH bid.

But as long as she has a family to protect, she won’t run.

[CIB-173RDABN]

?

A person only has one chance to run for President? I do not see that in the constitution.

Oh, you mean because the left has demonize her she should run off and hide and never again to appear on the public stage.

I think Palin on the ticket would be a good counter balance to Hillary (and it is time for a woman in the White House)
