Sarah Palin: It's Not Too Late To Run

Sarah Palin says it's not too late for somebody to step in and save the GOP from itself. Somebody like her, maybe?

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin rekindled speculation about her 2012 plans Monday, offering a teasing response to a question about whether she or anybody else might still get involved in the presidential race. "It's not too late for folks to jump in," Palin said during an interview on the Fox Business Network, according to advance excerpts. "Who knows what will happen in the future." Earlier in the year, Palin appeared to shut the door on her White House aspirations, at least for this election cycle. The comment could well recharge the energy of her persistent supporters, who just last month launched an ad in Iowa urging Palin to jump in the race due to dissatisfaction with the current field. That sentiment has apparently lingered among the ranks of many conservatives, as Tea Party leaders recently told the Associated Press that they remained "disappointed" with their choices.

The deadlines have already passed to be placed on state primary ballots.
