Palin ready to run

Sarah Palin has US President Obama in her sights, telling FoxNews.com yesterday she "would be willing" to challenge him in the 2012 presidential race. Asked if she knows more today about domestic and foreign affairs than she did two years ago, the unsuccessful GOP candidate for president in 2008 said: "Well, I would hope so."

A day earlier, she said "America is ready for another revolution," in a speech before adoring "tea party" activists who would make a seemingly natural constituency if she runs for president.
