Yesterday, while in Las Vegas, Governor Palin said "of course" she was interested in running for president in 2016. Naturally, this got quite a response from the mainstream media.
As such, she arrived in Iowa last night and greeted many supporters, fellow commentators, and other perceived hopefuls for the nomination where she was asked to clarify her statement:
As Bob Costas reports:
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin told The Washington Post in an interview Friday that she is seriously interested in running for the White House in 2016.
You can absolutely say that I am seriously interested, Palin said, when asked to clarify her thinking about a possible presidential bid.
Palin, the GOPs 2008 vice-presidential nominee, said she stood by comments she made Thursday in Las Vegas to ABC News, where she first expressed enthusiasm about potentially competing for the Republican presidential nomination.
I am. As I said yesterday, Im really interested in the opportunity to serve at some point, Palin said Friday, as former Pennsylvania senator
[...]
Palin said, It is a significant step, of course, for anyone to publicly announce that theyre interested. Who wouldnt be interested? Who wouldnt be interested when they have been blessed with opportunities to speak about what is important to this country and for this country?
Still, Palin said that she is not yet ramping up a national political operation. Instead, Palin said, she is contemplating her political future and does not feel rushed to make a final decision.
Palin arrived in Iowa Friday alongside Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), one of her closest political allies, and Jason Recher, one of Palins longtime political advisers. In the lobby, she signed autographs for some hotel guests and mingled with the dozens of GOP figures congregated near the lobby bar, including former House speaker Newt Gingrich.
Ping to Sarah's Amazing List!
I didn't need Clarification for me.
I understood in perfectly yesterday :P
From the Article:Palin said, It is a significant step, of course, for anyone to publicly announce that theyre interested. Who wouldnt be interested? Who wouldnt be interested when they have been blessed with opportunities to speak about what is important to this country and for this country?
Doesn't tell me anything different.
I guess I am just Young and reckless and take these things way to far.
Sarah can make the Bad Guys Good for a Weekend.
She has a long list of Ex-Supporters.
They tell us we are insane (for supporting her regardless of the choice).
But you gotta Love the Players and I Love the Game.
Sarah is their Nightmare dressed like a Day Dream.
The media is starting to respond. Governor Palin is currently the main story on Drudge (see image above).

Also, according to Craig Robinson from Iowa, Governor Palin is attending a fundraiser for her PAC tonight:
SP is a great TEASER, too!
SHe plays the media like a violin.
She has my vote.
She still has enough clout that her endorsement pushed the Democrat Bill Walker over Parnell for Alaska Governor.
