Sarah Palin talks 2016 bid while serving wild boar chili. Mitt who?
| Washington
Sarah Palin, 2016 鈥� is there any possibility? The former VP candidate and ex-Alaska governor hinted on Thursday that she might, just maybe, give electoral politics another try.
ABC鈥檚 Neal Karlinksy while she was serving wild boar chili to the homeless in Las Vegas (we鈥檙e not making that up). Mr. Karlinsky asked her if she ever mulled over a White House bid.
鈥淵eah, I mean, of course, when you have a servant鈥檚 heart, when you know that there is opportunity to do all you can to put yourself forward in the name of offering service, anybody would be interested,鈥� said Palin.
Pressed as to the nature of her interest, Palin continued with 鈥淎merica has had enough of seeing that 鈥� sign on the Oval Office door saying, 鈥楴o Girls Allowed.鈥� I know that.鈥�
Then she demurred. But just a little.
鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 necessarily have to be me, though, but no, America is definitely ready for real change,鈥� Palin said.
So it doesn鈥檛 鈥渘ecessarily鈥� have to be you, but it could be? You鈥檙e saying there鈥檚 a chance?
Every political reporter in America just felt a little tingle run through their typing fingers.
鈥淚鈥檓 almost certain Sarah Palin isn鈥檛 really running in 2016, but I鈥檓 100% sure every reporter is praying she does,鈥� tweeted Business Insider politics editor Hunter Walker.
Look, Mr. Walker鈥檚 right, it鈥檚 almost certain that Palin鈥檚 not going to run for president in 2016. She鈥檇 have been talking about it and planning for it long before now if she were serious. She鈥檚 got fans though 鈥� a billion Facebook followers, it seems like 鈥� and they may want her to continue to make an effort to bash the Obama administration and Democrats and remain at least tangential to the political process.
That鈥檚 why she posts stuff like this on her , a poster of herself hitchhiking with a note about someone wanting to pick her up and take her to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest Washington, D.C.
鈥淗a! Believe it or not I received this from ... my mom!鈥� Palin wrote.
We鈥檙e sure it鈥檚 a coincidence that all this surfaced just as Palin鈥檚 TV series 鈥淎mazing America with Sarah Palin鈥� premiered its on The Sportsman Channel. Next Thursday, the show has her travel to shock rocker Ted Nugent鈥檚 ranch to learn bow shooting tips.
Palin/Nugent 2016 鈥� that would be quite a ticket. Folks on Twitter are already joking about Romney/Palin, but somehow we don鈥檛 think she鈥檇 want to run for VP again.
