An astute Fixista flagged a fascinating interview that former Alaska
Gov. Sarah Palin gave to conservative talk radio host Lars Larson last
Friday in which she appears to leave the door open to a third party bid
for president in 2012. Asked by Larson whether she would consider
running as a third party candidate, Palin said: "That depends on how
things go in the next couple of years." Larson told the 2008 vice
presidential nominee that answer "sounds like a yes" to which she
responded: "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." Which, to the Fix's delicate ears, sounds
like Palin leaving the door wide open. As
we have written before, Palin is not -- and never will be -- a
candidate of the Republican establishment. Given that, and the
unpredictability she demonstrated in her stunning decision to resign as
governor over the summer, no potential avenue to the presidency should
be ruled out.

Yes,
just
commentary by some guy working for an uber liberal rag, but I
suspect he mouths what the town snitches tell him, and the town is
D.C.. No surprise, of
course, but it will be damned hard for the GOP to freeze Palin out at
this point. Wouldn't be the first time the coaches were fired
because they couldm't get along with the star player, wot? And make no mistake, she is the star, and nobody else comes close.
