Sarah Palin: It's Not Too Late to Jump In

'I'm not there yet with the field as it stands,' she grouses

(NEWSER) - She's baaaack ... maybe. With the GOP line-up still creaky, Sarah Palin let slip on the Fox Business Network that it's "not too late for folks to jump in. Who knows what might happen in the future?" Or so she mused last night when asked on Follow the Money if she might make a late entrance. The tease didn't lead to any specifics. Palin announced in October she would not seek the nomination but that could change. When she was quizzed over the weekend about whom she would endorse, she didn't have an answer, notes the New York Times. “I am just not there yet with the field as it stands,” she responded, adding more sauce to the tantalizing mystery.

GOP Voters to Palin: Don't Run

But Giuliani might thrash Obama, poll finds

(NEWSER) - Sarah Palin is leaving the door open for a presidential run —but most Republican voters want that door slammed shut, according to the latest McClatchy-Marist poll . More than 70% of Republican and Republican-leaning voters don't want Palin to run for the presidency, the poll found. If Palin and Rudy Giuliani were to enter the race tomorrow, Giuliani would be in second place, with 14% backing, to front-runner Rick Perry's 20%, while Palin and Romney would be tied at 13%. More»

Ann Coulter: Palin Is 'the Obama of the Tea Party'

And she should 'just run so we can get this over with'

(NEWSER) - Ann Coulter is the latest pundit to jump into the “will she or won’t she?” discussion about Sarah Palin’s potential presidential run, and she has a message for Palin: “Fish or cut bait, because you are ginning up this group of Americans who will not even consider anyone else,” namely the Tea Party, Coulter said last night on the O’Reilly Factor. “We used to all love Sarah Palin—conservatives like me—for her enemies. I’m starting to dislike her because of her fans.” More»

Hey, Palin: Mock Polls at Your Own Risk

When you've got a 59% disapproval rating, best not to mention them at all

(NEWSER) - Sarah Palin took a moment to ridicule polls during her Iowa speech : “They’re for strippers and cross-country skiers,” she said. But “Palin (R-Snarklaska)” is in for a rude awakening, writes Jonathan Capehart in the Washington Post . “If the half-term Alaska governor gets into the race for president,, she’ll discover something that strippers and cross-country skiers know all too well: You’re nothing without strong poles.” And with 74% of Americans hoping she doesn’t run, according to Fox News, Palin’s polls are looking “horrendous.” More»

Palin Thrills Wet Tea Party Crowd in Iowa

But keeps mum about presidential ambitions

(NEWSER) - Sarah Palin kept her presidential ambitions under wraps today in a 40-minute speech to thousands of very wet Iowans who had diligently waited for her in steady rain, the Des Moines Register reports. "We’re here because America is at a tipping point," Palin said at the Des Moines Tea Party rally, and told them the nation's crisis was worse than "a Midwest summer storm" that eventually "moves on." Later she told a reporter that she's happy with the current GOP slate but thought "there's room for more." More»
