Palin in 2012?

On Feb. 7, days before her 46th birthday, Sarah Palin addressed the speculation regarding her potential 2012 candidacy for the top office in the nation. When asked by Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace why she wouldn't run for president, she told him, "I would. I would if I believed that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family. Certainly, I would do so." Adding that it would be "absurd" to not consider it, she said, "I won’t close the door that perhaps could be open for me in the future." Palin vs. Obama in 2012?
