Sarah Palin is ready to run against Obama in 2012. She kept the bombshell until after calling for party unity in her prepared remarks at the GOP's Ronald Reagan Dinner in Des Moines, Iowa. Of 2012, she told Fox News: “I would give it a shot... If the American people were to be ready for someone who is willing to shake it up, and willing to get back to time-tested truths, and help lead our country towards a more prosperous and safe future and if they happen to think I was the one, if it were best for my family and for our country, of course I would give it a shot.” In her speech, Palin said: “The time for primary debate is over. It’s time for unity now." Bizarrely, she imagined herself as quarterback to the entire Republican Party, issuing orders even to former President Bush: “I’d say ‘DeMint, you’re awesome, we need you down South. Mitt, go West. GW, we need you to raise funds. Kristol, Krauthammer—you gotta go East.”
