Sarah Palin: I'm Willing to Run for President
Sarah Palin has been coy about it until now, but she's finally said it: She is willing to run for president in 2012.
In an interview for "Entertainment Tonight," host Mary Hart asked Palin whether she'd toss her hat in the ring.
Palin said from her home in Wasilla, Ala., that she'd run in 2010 "if there's nobody else to do it."
The former Alaska governor and ex-GOP vice presidential candidate, a mother of five and star of TLC's upcoming series "Sarah Palin's Alaska," told Hart that, when it comes to deciding whether to run, "It's going to entail a discussion with my family (and) a real close look at the lay of the land, to consider whether there are those with that common sense, conservative, pro-Constitution passion, whether there are already candidates out there who can do the job ... or whether there's nobody willing to do it, to make the tough choices and not care what the critics are going to say about you, just going forward according to what I think the priorities should be."
"If there's nobody else to do it, then of course I would believe that we
should do this," Sarah told Hart.
She adds if there are candidates who "can do the job" she would offer her full support.
