The question du jour: Will she or won't she run for president?
The would-be-candidate once again refused to "put a timetable" on when she will announce her decision, but when asked by CBS affiliate WKYW if she could beat President Obama, Palin replied, "To put it concisely - yes."
Palin also noted her belief that most of the Republicans in the field "have a very good chance" of beating the president, and specifically said she liked Texas Governor Rick Perry, who told reporters last week he was contemplating his own bid to unseat Obama.
"This isn't all about me; it's about the real change that our country needs, and not just me but other potential candidates and candidates declared," she said.
Reporters who have been following the bus tour have been given little guidance by Palin's team, and have accused Palin of being coy with the press.
Not so, Palin said, before visiting the Liberty Bell behind closed doors.
"It's not really an intention to play cat-and-mouse or to have you guys guessing or anything else. Really it's a genuine concern for our country, making sure we're highlighting the history of our country, learning our past so we see a straight way forward in these challenging times, and that's what our tour is all about," she explained.
Palin is expected to travel to New York City later today, where she is expected to meet with reality television host Donald Trump.

* Arrogant ditherer....

Might be a fun race... unstoppable ditherer meets inveterate screw-up. The prize? The gullibility of the American people.
"But hey, I go get my gas and groceries in the States on the weekends. It's a lot cheaper there thanks to our higher dollar and I feel like I should support our cousins to the South considering how bad their economy is."

The United States: the New Mexico. One of every four children here lives in poverty under Predatory Capitalism by, for and of the rich.
Well, it is time we embraced the systems like they have in real counties like Canada. Time to take over the greedy, rotten, lying, cheating, stealing banks and oil corporations. It is time they worked for US.
25% of the population is NOT a winning percentage in a general election. Never has been, never will be.
It does, however, confirm the poll that Palin appeals to the less educated (hence the math short comings)...
Of course Palin can beat Obama,
my cat could beat Obama from her litter box.
Obama is a failure.
The question is who is going to win the GOP nomination.
This next election will boil down to if we want to save America or become a socialist nation like the failed USSR.

Lol. Well Canada is a "socialist nation" according to a lot of American conservatives and our economy's doing GREAT right now.
Go look up the value of the Canadian dollar and our GDP compared to the US.
