Man on the Street: Palin for President?

By on February 8, 2010

Former governor of Alaska and 2008 vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin is at it again. The self-declared “rogue” Republican can now add grassroots political advocate to her résumé.

On Saturday, Palin delivered the keynote speech at the populist-conservative National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tenn. Although Palin has not announced plans to run for President in 2012, the audience made their opinions clear by chanting “run, Sarah, run” throughout her campaign-style speech.

The Red & Black asked several students their opinions of Sarah Palin and her possible candidacy in 2012.
