Sarah Palin
says she may run again

Sarah Palin opened the door for another run for public office, railing
against liberals who, she says, would like to keep her on the political
sidelines.
In an interview Tuesday with Fox Business Network, the former Alaska
governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee was asked
whether harsh criticism of her had driven her away from politics.
“Bless their hearts, those haters out there, they don’t understand that
it invigorates me,” she responded. “It wants me to get out there and
defend the innocent.”
“[T]he more they’re pouring on, the more I’m going to bug the crap out
of them by being out there with a voice, with a message, hopefully
running for office in the future, too,” Palin added.
She hasn’t run for office since stepping down as Alaska governor in
2009, in particular declining to run for the 2012 presidential
nomination. Last year, Palin said on Fox News that she “considered” a
run for the Republican nomination to challenge incumbent Democratic
Sen. Mark Begich in November. Begich is in the midst of a close race
with Republican Dan Sullivan.
Palin, who retains a strong fan base among conservatives, has been
fairly active on the 2014 campaign trail, appearing in Kansas with
Republican Sen. Pat Roberts and in Louisiana with Rob Maness, one of
two GOP Senate hopefuls in the Bayou State’s nonpartisan primary.
In the interview Tuesday, Palin also praised Republican Sens. Mike Lee
of Utah and Ted Cruz of Texas — two darlings of the tea party movement
— and called on the GOP establishment to have “more guts.”
