Palin 2012?

From Sunday’s interview on Fox:

WALLACE: Why wouldn’t you run for president? PALIN: I would. I would if I believe that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family. Certainly, I would do so. WALLACE: And how do you make that decision over the next three years? PALIN: It’s going to be thankfully a lot of time to be able to make such a decision.  Right now, I’m looking at, as I say, other potential candidates out there who are strong. They’re in a position of having the luxury of having more information at their fingertips right now. So that the current events that we’re talking about today, they — WALLACE: Wait, wait, wait. Because — you’re basically saying you will consider it. PALIN: I think that it would be absurd to not consider what it is that I can potentially do to help our country. I don’t know if it’s going to be every seeking a title though. It may be just doing a darn good job as a reporter or covering some of the current events. WALLACE: But you’re going to consider, you’re go to go through the process of thinking — PALIN: I won’t close the door that perhaps could be open for me in the future. I don’t want any American to ever close the door in their personal or their professional lives and put themselves in a box and say, heck, yes I’m going to do that. Or, no way I’m not going to do that, when we don’t know what the future holds. WALLACE: There’s a report this weekend that you are now getting daily e-mail briefings on domestic and foreign policy issues from a group of top advisors in Washington, D.C. How come? PALIN: Ever since our PAC was formed, we have had good people contributing. Some — many volunteers, I guess you would call them advisors, yes, firing away e-mails to me every morning saying, this is what’s happened in Washington overnight.
