| Sarah Palin |
Can Sarah Palin still enter the 2012 presidential race? You betcha.
"It's not too late for folks to jump in," the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee said during an interview on the Fox Business Network Monday night. "Who knows what will happen in the future."According to The Associated Press, Palin told Fox over the weekend that she felt no enthusiasm for anyone in the current field of Republican candidates and that she needed to feel something before endorsing one of them.Before Palin's comments aired Monday night, reality TV producer Mark Burnett said she was in talks to film a second season of "Alaska." According to The New York Post, Palin's outdoors adventures with her family would be filmed during the summer of 2012 and the show would air after the November election.
Burnett said "Sarah Palin's Alaska" premiere in November 2010 was seen by more than 5 million viewers, making it the most-watched premiere ever on TLC.
When Palin said in October that she wouldn't seek the GOP nomination, she said she hoped to be more effective in getting others elected. But with the Iowa caucuses set to begin the nomination process Jan. 3, just two weeks from today, a new candidate could dramatically shake up the Republican field. Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said he agreed with Palin's assessment.
"I would not be at all surprised to see one or two more candidates between now and the end of April," Gingrich told FOX News & Commentary. "The clock is running but the clock sure hasn't stopped."Palin said she also had concerns about the lack of focus on "values and character" from the GOP field. "It's not all about politics," she said. "It is all about value and character."
