President Palin? Alaska governor ponders her future

She's now granting lots of interviews. Good, the should adequately seal her fate for any future elections at the national level.


(CNN) -- Far from stepping out of the public eye since the Republican ticket lost the election, Gov. Sarah Palin is moving deeper into the spotlight.

In the past week, the former vice presidential candidate has invited reporters into her home in Alaska, serving them moose chili and moose hot dogs as she opens up about her life and what's next.

The Alaska governor, who was criticized during the campaign for being too shielded from the media, has been granting back-to-back interviews -- including two Wednesday on CNN.

Palin sits down with Wolf Blitzer in an interview that will air on "The Situation Room," starting at 4 p.m. ET. Palin also will appear on "Larry King Live" at 9 p.m. ET.

Palin also plans to give remarks Thursday about "Looking Toward the Future" at the Republican Governors Association annual conference in Miami, Florida, and she's expected to hold a news conference later that day.

Her newfound openness with the media is a sign that she has her future in mind, analysts say.

1. What happened to "going back to AK, back to work"?

She is still governor. Came home for 2 days, emptied the belly of the plane and now is back on the road.

2. I agree.

I would like to remind her that the price of a barrel of oil has dropped $90 since she enjoyed such smooth-sailing and popularity up here. I foresee a budget crisis -- which she probably doesn't even know the meaning of.

I'd laugh my ass off if things got so bad up here with the declining oil revenues that she had to reinstate the state income tax (which we used to pay back before the pipeline). That would be so funny. :rofl:

3. Hey you know how it is.

Once you've played with the big boys, who wants to mess around with a piddly little Governors job?
