Sarah Palin Should Not Run for President, Fox News Poll Finds (ContributorNetwork)

Posted: 03 Sep 2011 01:50 PM PDT

ContributorNetwork - Some think she should; some think she shouldn't. At least a couple political analysts, including former White House political adviser Karl Rove, think Sarah Palin will announce her candidacy (or intentions of not running) either during or following her tea party address in Iowa. And some think she will not run at all, like Rep. Steve King of Iowa. As for the former Alaska governor? She still maintains a cheerful, maybe-maybe not attitude about running for president. But if polls are helping her decision, the latest from Fox News just might push her to consider simply endorsing someone and leaving it at that.
