President 2012: With Huckabee Out – Is Sarah Palin In?

Former Alaska governor S arah Pali n is sending direct mail solicitations nationwide to raise money for her political action committee titled “2012 Can’t Come Fast Enough,” a move that is certain to re-stoke talk of whether she will run for the presidential nomination.

The copy of the letter sent to The Fix came from South Carolina, and SarahPAC Treasurer Tim Crawford said that about 400,000 solicitations were sent out nationwide. While the mailing, which aims to raise contributions for Sarah PAC, says nothing specific about Palin’s own political future the decision to send it will surely raise eyebrows.

“Taking back control of the House last year was only the first step,” Palin writes in the mailer. “Now you and I must fix our eyes on 2012. Our goal is to take back the White House and the Senate.”

I don’t see Sarah running but she is unpredictable. As I said before, she risks her brand with a loss, but maybe with so many good Republicans waiting in the wings for 2016, maybe she feels it is now or never.

Her recent polling against President Obama is very weak, however.
