Sarah Palin: I'm Willing to Run for President

[cherrylovekalbs 4]

(CBS) 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.

No duh. Did you think she quit her job as Governor and placed herself smack dab in the media limelight so she could get a job hosting the View?

She is just another in a long and proud tradition of elected officials quitting their elected positions so they can raise the war chest necessary to run for elected office.

In all seriousness - she was the driving force behind the Republican tidal wave of this years midterms (not over yet, but we all know what's coming). The party owes her a serious shot at the nomination. And by serious shot, I just mean she deserves to be taken seriously as a serious nominee by the party elders. She has rescuscitated a badly injured brand and that has to count for something.

You give her far too much credit, and the Koch brothers far too little.

If there's nobody to do it, at least give Arnold Swartzenager a shot first! At least he hasn't abandoned the state he pledged to in the first place! If she somehow ends up running the country, I might have to move back to Canada.

Slight problem with Arnie Schwarzenarmadillo.

He's kind of Austrian by birth.

I'm sure the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children could find a birth certificate in their files real quick if need be.
