Hard to imagine 'far off' 2012 election bid: Palin

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Defeated Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said late Tuesday that elections in 2012 were "so far off" that she was unable to imagine making her own bid for the US presidency.

The conservative Alaska governor, who was plucked from obscurity to become John McCain's running mate, also refused to take the blame for the Republican defeat in the White House race.

Palin, whose socially conservative views and lack of experience were seen as having put off some independent voters, dismissed reports that people had voted against the Republican ticket because of her.

"I don't think anybody should give Sarah Palin that much credit that I would trump an economic time in this nation that occurred about two months ago," she told CNN.

Methinks she dost protest too much! Of course, she was a big reason why McCain lost. If he had chosen a reasonable running mate the contest would have been a least a lot closer.

People were terrified of having this inexperienced extremist in a position of power.
