Sarah Palin Says She Will Jump Into 2012 Presidential Race

The video appears to be taken down but can be watched here at around 6:00 minutes in.

Sarah Palin says she will run for President in 2012 if “nobody else were to step up.”

Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin gave her strongest indication yet that she may run for president Wednesday night, saying she would jump into the race if “nobody else were to step up” with the proposals she wants to see.

Palin’s recent trip to Iowa has increased speculation that she may run for the Republican nomination in 2012, and she has seemed more open to the possibility in recent interviews.

Asked by Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren what “would be a reason to run” during an interview Wednesday night, Palin laid out her criteria:

“A reason to run is if nobody else were to step up with the solutions that are needed to get the economy back on the right track and to be so committed to our national security that they are going to do all that they can, including fighting those on the extreme left who seem to want to dismantle some of our national security tools that we have in place,” Palin said.

“If nobody else wanted to step up, Greta, I would offer myself up in the name of service to the public,” Palin added. “But I also know that anybody — anybody — can make a huge difference in this country without a title, without an office, just being out there as an advocate for solutions that can work to get the country on the right track. And that’s where I am now.”

Palin said she is currently in a “comfortable place” and said that if “my candidacy wasn’t good for my family, if it wasn’t good for the common sense conservative agenda that needs to be adhered to, then certainly I wouldn’t run.”

“I don’t need the title,” she insisted. “I don’t need … any kind of self-gratification or personal power- seeking of my own to run for office.”

Yet, President Obama is continuing to sink in the polls and is extremely unpopular.

The Democratic Party is posed to lose its super majority in the Congress and may very well lose control of the House and/or the Senate in November.

President Obama is vulnerable and there is talk that Hillary is available to challenge him in the Democratic primary elections.

So, will Sarah run?

Why not?

Sarah Palin will WIN the GOP nomination. The Republican primary election season favors her over Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. The GOP “young guns” of Bobby Jindal, Mitch Daniels, Tim Pawlenty, Haley Barbour, et. al. will not challenge her and would lose to her anyway.

No one besides Mitt Romney will really step up on the Republican side. Sarah beats Romney like a rented mule in Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California

If Obama beats her, Sarah is ready to run again in 2016 and, like, Richard Nixon can come back and win the second time.

Sarah Palin runs for President in 2012.
