(CNN) -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she would consider a run for president in 2012 if the situation was right for her family and the nation.
In an interview recorded Saturday and broadcast on "FOX News Sunday," Palin said she would run "if I believed that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family."
"I think that it would be absurd to not consider what it is that I can potentially do to help our country," Palin said, later adding: "I won't close the door that perhaps could be open for me in the future."
The interview was recorded before her keynote address Saturday night at what was billed the first national Tea Party convention. Palin, who had little national profile before running unsuccessfully for vice president on Sen. John McCain's Republican ticket in 2008, remains a leading GOP draw and an unofficial symbol of the Tea Party movement of conservative discontent with government.
The convention, which concluded with a dinner and Palin speech that cost more than $500 per ticket, was intended to begin transforming the Tea Party movement into a political force capable of influencing elections, organizers said.
"It's so inspiring to see real people -- not politicos, inside-the-beltway professionals -- come out, stand up and speak out for common sense conservative principles," Palin said in her speech to a crowd that gave her repeated standing ovations.
WELL.....She is an excellent speaker. She appears to energize the electorate. People also appear to relate to her, or visa vera.
Presidential material? We have a couple of years to decide on that one!

She is clearly a threat to the dems and the rinos. Not as a potential candidate.....but as a speaker that energizes the people. She packs 'em in whenever she speaks.
And she keeps 'em all guessing on what her future aspirations are. The more the liberal media tries to beat her up....the more popular she becomes. Funny thing, huh?

Yes, she is a threat to libs and "moderates," and they fear her because she is effective, so they try to destroy her. The more they bash her, the more conservatives love her.
She might not want to run for POTUS, but whatever she decides to do, she will be a formidable spokeswoman against liberals and moderates.

Oh...and pelosi is 'sane'????? At least palin takes a stand for less government, capitalism, transparency and personal responsibility. Pelosi is obviously for larger socialist government. Take your pick! I'll take the nut, thank you!

Put it in writing. We heard the same from Alec Baldwin if George Bush won. Then they refuse to move.
