Sarah Palin says she is seriously considering a run for the White House, and she believes she could beat President Obama in 2012, the former Alaska governor told ABC News’ Barbara Walters.
“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 said in an interview scheduled to air in full Dec. 9 on ABC as part of Walters’ “10 Most Fascinating People” of 2010.
Asked Walters: “If you ran for president, could you beat Barack Obama?”
“I believe so,” Palin said.
Although Palin remains undecided about whether to run, the 2008 vice presidential nominee has now made clear in two interviews this week that she is seriously considering it.
In a profile to be published in the upcoming New York Times Magazine, Palin told reporter Robert Draper “I am,” when asked if she was weighing a 2012 run. “I’m engaged in the internal deliberations candidly, and having that discussion with my family, because my family is the most important consideration here.”
Palin said her decision would involve “evaluating whether she could bring unique qualities to the table,” admitting the biggest challenge would be proving her record.
