Sarah Palin has officially said she is seriously considering a run in the presidential race in 2012. In an interview conducted by Barbara Walters, which will air on December 9, Palin responded, “I believe so,” when asked by Walters if she could beat Barack Obama if she ran for president.
"I'm engaged in the internal deliberations candidly, and having that discussion with my family, because my family is the most important consideration here."
Rasmussen Reports surveyed likely GOP Primary voters and concluded that Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, and Sarah Palin of Alaska will be the most likely Republican candidates for 2012. All three weighed in evenly with nearly twenty percent of the votes cast through telephone polling.
One more interesting fact from Rasmussen Reports is that 52% of voters say their views are more like Palin’s than Obama’s.
It is far too early to speculate with any real gravity what will happen over the next two years or which conservatives will emerge as candidates. But what is extremely important right now is to monitor every decision Barack Obama makes and to see in the near future whether or not he intends to repeal some of the radical legislation that he has passed and if he will tone down his radical goals for the future. If he makes no gesture to establish a sense of compromise among his Republican counterparts or the majority of voters who put so many of them in office on November 2, then he is obviously out of touch with the reality before him and he presumably cares more about his own agenda and ego than the wishes of American voters.
