There is much speculation as to whether or not the former Alaskan governor will make a run for the oval office in 2012. The addition of her to the Republican primary is a wild card and could definitely be a game changer. If she does enter the race, she claims it is "in the name of service", as she believes she can defeat President Obama in the general election.
Her idea of the perfect candidate is someone "willing to serve with good executive experience" and is not "so excessively partisan that they can't just do what's right for the people". By her own standards, however, it seems as though she only meets the requirement of "willing to serve" as she was only the Alaskan governor for less than 3 years and is what most would consider to be "excessively partisan".I for one hope she stays out of the race and does what she does best: fundraising. If she can rally the 'Tea Party' behind a fiscally smart leader with the 'cajones' to stand up for what is right, the Republicans could take back the White House in 2012.
