Palin: ‘Absurd’ to rule out 2012 bid

REPUBLICAN darling Sarah Palin has said “it would be absurd” for her to rule out running for president and that she would consider a 2012 bid if she thought it would be right for America.

The former Alaska governor and one-time Republican vice presidential candidate also warned that President Barack Obama would not be reelected short of radically changing his policies, even perhaps by declaring war on Iran.

Speaking with Fox News, Palin dismissed a poll that shows her running ahead of other potential Republican presidential nominees, but said she would consider a bid in 2012.
