A new New York Times magazine profile of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin confirms the obvious: she's at least considering a 2012 presidential run.

Not only is she considering it, but Palin told Barbara Walters in an interview that will air in full on December 9 that she thinks she can win.

"If you ran for president, could you beat Barack Obama?" Walters asked.

"I believe so," Palin said.

I'd beat her still she's...

ok I'm gonna stop

Thank god you're in Australia.

(I figured). hahaha.

Still, maybe she read it and learnt something about herself.

god I hate when I mess up jokes

Brenton, you are insane.

That woman has the intelligence of a two-by-four. She has about the same administrative skills as a paperweight. Her political instincts are as subtle and nuanced as a 40-megaton bomb.

If she does get the nomination (which I really hope), she will be the worst and most unqualified nominee of a major political party in American history. And that includes Horace Greeley, Warren Harding and George McGovern.

In Brenton's defense he's not an American and we have no idea how Palin comes off in Australia (I would suspect she looks considerably less loony in Australian media than she does in European media). Foreigners mean well when they opine on American politics but they usually profoundly misunderstand it.

Well, there is that!
