In an interview last Friday with conservative talk radio host Lars Larson, Sarah Palin left the door wide open to running for president in 2012 — as a third-party candidate, not a Republican.
“That depends on how things go in the next couple of years,” said Palin, when asked whether she would consider the move.
She further explained: “If the Republican party gets back to that [conservative] base, I think our party is going to be stronger and there’s not going to be a need for a third party, but I’ll play that by ear in these coming months, coming years.”
