Sarah Palin Video: The Iowa GOP Ronald Reagan Dinner

Will Sarah Palin run for President in 2012?

The political eyes of the nation and world will be watching Sarah Palin’s scheduled appearance in Iowa tonight for signals about her plans.

More than 50 news media organizations, from as far away as London, plan to cover the Republican Party’s biggest celebrity when she headlines the Iowa Republicans’ marquee fundraiser in Des Moines. It’s her first appearance in Iowa as a 2012 presidential prospect.

But there is little about Palin’s visit to the leadoff caucus state to suggest whether the 2008 vice presidential nominee is weighing a campaign for president.

When Sarah decides she will run there will be a full court press and a social media storm. For now, as I have said before, she will wait and see just how vulnerable President Obama is before committing to a 2012 Presidential campaign.

Plus, we will see how many of her endorsed POLS win seats in the next Congress.

In the meantime, Sarah will maintain a high profile with a new book and Fox News commentary.

Sarah Palin may be edging closer to a 2012 presidential run, telling Fox News “I would give it a shot” if the American people think she’s “the one.”

The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee was in Des Moines, Iowa, Friday for the Reagan Dinner, a big GOP fundraiser in the heart of water-testing country for presidential candidates.

Palin has remained coy about her ambitions, but she elaborated a bit in an interview with Fox News, attaching several conditions to the possibility of a 2012 presidential run.

“If the American people were to be ready for someone who is willing to shake it up, and willing to get back to time-tested truths, and help lead our country towards a more prosperous and safe future and if they happen to think I was the one, if it were best for my family and for our country, of course I would give it a shot,” she said.
