Palin blames Bush policies for election defeat

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin blamed Bush administration policies for the Republican presidential defeat and prayed she would not miss “an open door” for her next political opportunity.

“I’m like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I’m like, don’t let me miss the open door,” Republican vice-presidential candidate Mrs Palin said in an interview with Fox News, amid speculation that she will run for US president in four years.
