Palin: ‘I Can Win’

Says family is main consideration in 2012 choice.

Sarah Palin thinks she can win the presidential election, she tells Peter J. Boyer in Newsweek. “I’m not so egotistical as to believe that it has to be me, or it can only be me, to turn things around,” she says. “But I do believe that I can win.” If she doesn’t run, it will be because of family, she says. Where do they stand? “Bristol wants me to run for president,” she says. The other children, including Willow and Piper, seem OK with a run too. That leaves Todd. “It’s up to her,” her husband tells Boyer. “I mean, we’ll discuss it. But she’s definitely qualified to run this country. And she’s got a fire in the belly to serve.”
