After the 2008 Presidential Nominations, one question frequently asked is, “What’s next for Sarah Palin?” Palin, Governor of Alaska, was chosen by Republican nominee, John McCain, as his running mate during the election process. Before being chosen as his running mate, Palin was not a very well-known person. When chosen, people characterized her as having no political experience and said that she was not ready for the task. 

Lately, there has been some talk of her wanting to run for president in 2012. Is this true? According to www.dailymail.co.uk, “Her inner circle say[s] the mother-of-five is likely to serve out her final two years as Alaska governor and then focus full time on a bid to become America’s first woman president.” 

Will Governor Palin be our first female president? If she works at it, then she will be running for president in 2012. In order to run for president, she must first find a way into the U.S. Senate. She must do so because she has to gather experience from a national level to understand foreign-policy. 

Right now, Palin does not have enough experience to make it to the White House to become president. According to www.slate.com, “Over the next four years, though, she’ll have plenty of time to bone up on Russo-Georgian relations, missile defense, and her least favorite Supreme Court decisions.” Right now, citizens are just wondering if Palin will be running for Governor of Alaska again in 2010, or if she will be running for president in 2012.
