U.S. Rep. Steve King predicts Palin will seek 2012 GOP nomination

*
Congressman Steve King (R-IA) now says he believes that Sarah Palin will throw her hat into the ring for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. The four-term U.S. Representative also said that former Governor Palin is one of only a few political figures who could win his state's first-in-the-nation Republican caucuses.

Rep. King's statements reflect a change in opinion on his part regarding the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate:
King said Tuesday he initially thought Palin ended her political career when she resigned as governor last summer. But he said during a taping of an Iowa Public Television show that she's now in a far stronger position to succeed.
The Iowa congressman also said that Gov. Palin's Going Rogue book tour has brought her widespread attention, and he praised her political instincts.

Another one Palinized...

  1. I always thought that Palin's book would make a big difference, and it has. Even a lot of libs and conservative skeptics are giving her grudging respect, and respect is the first step towards support.
