Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said today that she wouldn't hesitate to run for the presidency in four years if it's God's will, even though she never thought Campaign 2008 would be "as brutal a ride as it turned out to be."
During interviews strewn along over the past week in the debry of the Republican route experienced in last Tuesday's elections, Palin said she had no problem with Republican presidential nominee John McCain, but that she resents rumors she says were spread about her and her family by the Arizona Republican's aides.
She also denies that she was a drag on the GOP ticket even though there is evidence to support the case. She said in her own little WaillaBilly way "I think the economic collapse had a heckuva lot more to do with the campaign's collapse than me personally," during her interview Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show.
Palin also said "There were a lot of times I wanted to shout out, 'Hey, wait a minute, it's not true.' It's pretty brutal." Palin said she would be eager to do it all again under the right circumstances.
"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," Palin said in an interview on Monday with Fox News. "And if there is an open door in '12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plow through that door." No doubt with charge card in hand. "I did not order the clothes. Did not ask for the clothes," Palin said. "I would have been happy to have worn my own clothes from Day One. But that is kind of an odd issue, an odd campaign issue as things were wrapping up there as to who ordered what and who demanded what."
"It's amazing that we did as well as we did," Palin said in an interview with the Anchorage Daily News. "I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration? If we're talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented and that is to a great degree what the Republican Party at the time had been representing," Palin said in a story published Sunday.
Palin's face and dim witted glee will be shinning forth alot on our tv's in the next few days as she trys to hold on to her 15 minuites of fame in a bid for the brass ring (probably from Neman's). She has a series of national interviews this week with Fox, NBC's "Today" show and CNN.
Sadly Palin has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2012. Well maybe thats not sad. I guess if you are a Democrat that could be good news. If she were smart she could seek re-election in 2010 or challenge Sen. Lisa Murkowski for a seat. Or if Senator Stevens loses his seat, Palin could simply run for it in a special election. If she can maintain her public face long enough I believe she will make the bid on Stevens seat as it will make certain she is on the National Scene.
As for the Palin clan wardrobethat was purchased by the RNC and the Palin staffers, the Republican National Committee lawyers are still trying to determine exactly what clothing was bought for Palin, what was returned and what has become of the rest.
