If she decides to run for president in 2012, Sarah Palin thinks she can beat President Obama. That's according to an interview the ex-Alaska governor conducted with ABC's Barbara Walters.

Echoing her comments to the New York Times Magazine, Palin tells Walters that she's seriously considering a 2012 run.

"I'm looking at the lay of the land now, and ... trying to figure that out, if it's a good thing for the country, for the discourse, for my family, if it's a good thing," Palin says.

Asked if she can beat Obama, Palin tells Walters, "I believe so

I guess she believes her own warped view of herself..so be it..

[Drale]

1. She means beat him with a stick

because in her mind a black man has one place, as a slave to a white person. There is something seriously wrong with this woman.

[opihimoimoi]

2. GRIFTERESE spoken by a MEGA GRIFTER....she gonna rake in millions

win or lose....

Can she beat Obama....?

Not on a level playing feild she ain't

[Stuart G]

5. It is all about the money, she isn't going to run for anything..

She really doesn't like to answer questions that are in anyway unkind..She will never run again.
She will run to the bank, because that is what she is about.

[opihimoimoi]

7. Yup...ya nailed it...

[Blue_Tires]

44. Very true...I'm surprised more people haven't wised up

Media just keep feeding the celebrity monster. Palin at least has to keep up appearances so she can keep hoarding the spotlight and PAC money...She'll keep the ruse going until New Hampshire and then drop out for the good of whatever candidate the party is backing...

And then after, she'll probably have her own Fox show, more documentaries, and her kids will be old enough to start pretending to be involved in politics, and we'll never get rid of them....

[opihimoimoi]

45. A Grifter Exploitor Sex Symbol for their Base...she gonna milk it as far as it will allow

[MichiganVote]

3. And she could probably quit faster than he could too. The walk away Governor.

Headlines=dollars for=Caribou Barbie

[calimary]

31. Hey MichiganVote - I love that! "The Walk-Away Governor."

Or "The Walk-Away HALF Governor."

Honest to God, we've got to start coming up with the bumper-sticker talking points if we're ever going to cut through the bullshit. A long, ponderous, professorial explanation just doesn't cut it with the Low-Information-Voter/Short-Attention-Span-Theater crowd.

[Vincardog]

4. I think she should start running NOW and sew up the GOP nomination before the race even starts we do

not want the GOP coalescing around Jeb bush.

[FloriTexan]

23. or Rick Perry n/t

[Kennah]

6. Really?

Was anyone in U.S. history who has ever sought the Presidency said of their opponent(s), "Ya know I'm going to run, but I suspect I'm going to get my ass waxed."

[Jackpine Radical]

37. Well, that's the only condition

under which I would remotely consider a run.

[catgirl]

8. She's delusional n/t

[maxsolomon]

9. fucking delusional - obama would bury her in 2012

#1, she won't get the nomination. no way. it'll go to Rick Perry, and Molly Ivins will spin in her grave.
#2, voters show up for presidential elections. 2010 was the high water mark for old white people GOTV.

please, "liberal" media, STOP PAYING ATTENTION TO ATTENTION WHORES.

[Tx4obama]

10. Who will get more votes, who's more delusional - Palin or Alvin Greene? LOL

Alvin Greene: 'I'm The Next President'

SNIP

"I'm the next president," Greene said, while sitting on a bench. "I'll be 35 ... just before November, so I was born to be president. I'm the man. I'm the man. I'm the man. Greene's the man. I'm the man. I'm the greatest person ever. I was born to be president. I'm the man, I'm the greatest individual ever."

[kimmerspixelated]

11. If she got her ass beat- at least she'd go away!

Bona-fide-crazy lady!!!

[cyr330]

35. Don't bet on it. . .

I have a sneaking feeling that we're stuck with this idiot for the rest of our lives. The mainstream media will continue to give her free air time for no reason at all. She has zero credibility, and there's no goddamned reason she should be on any news channel, as she doesn't merit any attention at all. She's a swine. But she'll continue to be on the front page of all newspapers & the lead story on every fucking news channel for what reason? I don't think I can bear any more.

[Tx4obama]

12. TLC owes Democrats 8 episodes of free air time to campaign like they've given to Palin. n/t

[Pirate Smile]

13. I wouldn't mind watching her take out Romney in the primaries.

[eirteacher]

47. They could run on the same ticket

They could run on the same ticket. "Twit and Twat"

[Grassy Knoll]

14. she's a better cheerleader .......

than a quarterback .

[bonnieS]

15. she thinks that

just as with her daughter on Dancing with the Stars her voters will be able to vote unlimited times, even using phony e-mail addresses.

[Cattledog]

16. She might be right!

We will need Hillary on the ticket in 2012.

[savalez]

34. What? Joe kicked her ass just fine.

[dipsydoodle]

17. Chickens lay eggs

I assume she meant the lie of the land.

Is English her first language ? :shrug:

[Davis_X_Machina]

18. She's

...got disapproval numbers already in the 50's and near-100% name recognition -- that means there's next to no upside potential. Her campaign begins to go downhill 20 seconds after it's announced. Which is when I short it on Intrade.

She won't win a single primary and she'll be gone by Super Tuesday.

[Javaman]

19. what else would her massive ego tell her?

sociopath grifters all believe they will never get caught and that everyone loves them, or more likely, that everyone wants to be like them.

just more ravings from the raving lunatic.

[spicegal]

20. That woman has one incredibly inflated ego.

But then, never underestimate the stupidity of the American people.

[RandySF]

21. She will NOT run

All the speculation is geared towards generating book sales and speaking engagements for cash. She will keep doing this right up until just before the filing deadline for new Hampshire, which is when she will walk out the front of her house and "tearfully" announce that she will not run so she can focus on her (most assuredly growing) family. Right wing pundits and radio hosts will of course praise her "pro-family" decision.

[truthisfreedom]

22. Wow, she must not read the polls! Last I looked, obama's approval was above 40%

And hers was around 20. That's a pretty serious disconnect she's got going there... I hope she keeps it up!

[Xipe Totec]

30. Let's not jump to conclusions

we don't know what she means by 'beating' Obama.

[Bette Noir]

24. Sure she could win, if only FOX viewers are allowed to vote.

[Xipe Totec]

25. No sex threads! nt

[Kennah]

29. Well, maybe. I mean, if she took a job at the TSA, and ...

[elocs]

26. I anticipate Obama will follow the Palin model and quit next year

because everybody is being mean to him.

Well, maybe not.

[madamesilverspurs]

27. Yeah, we all thought W

was too stupid to be President. He was, but he got into the office anyway. Best we keep our eyes open.

[nyy1998]

28. lmao, this was easily the funniest thing I read today. Oh thanks for the laugh, Sarah.

[Yeahyeah]

32. Based on performance so far i'm sure Obama can strategerize his way into a loss to Palin.

[savalez]

33. no way.

[Matariki]

36. She's have to win a primary first

and that isn't going to happen.

[proteus_lives]

38. Yeah, in Bizarro-World.

:eyes:

[eilen]

39. in what context

does "for the discourse" mean or make any sense. WTF?

[Mad_Dem_X]

40. Is this b*tch SERIOUS?

I can't...:wow: :crazy: :rofl:

[Kucinich Feingold]

48. I'm not too sure...

but for fucking sakes hope not.

[L.Torsalo]

41. If she dares to run

it will have to be as a Teabag. Obama may be less than perfect, but this joke is less than imperfect. What comedy passes for politics here in Facebook States of Amerikkka.
Willow and Bristol. Too stupid to be alive?

[panzerfaust]

42. She is about the only candidate that Obama CAN beat

Let us hope that if we, foolishly, stick with Obama, that the Repubs, even more foolishly, select her.

That would be our only hope of winning I think.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

43. Bring it on! Please if not the puke nomination, then run as a t- bagger or the bag lady party.

Don't talk about it just do it, announce today and go to Iowa and stay there until 2012! You would probably get contributions from many liberals who really want your delusional ass to be a candidate in 2012.

[Blandocyte]

46. Would she quit half-way through the presidency?

Just askin'.

[and-justice-for-all]

49. Bwahahaha!!! delusional to the end....

I bet the moon she will run in the campaign as an Independent, she will have to because even the pukes do not want her.

[CRF450]

50. Bring her on!

That'll just seal the deal for another democratic win. :D Though that may never happen, she'll just play the cheerleader role like she's been doing for a while.
