King predicts Palin will run

JOHNSTON, Iowa (AP) — Republican congressman Steve King of Iowa says he thinks former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will seek the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 and that she’s among a few people who could win the state’s leadoff caucuses.

Speaking Tuesday during a taping of the public television show “Iowa Press,” King acknowledged he thought Palin had ended her political career when she resigned as governor last summer. But King says she’s now in a stronger position than ever.

King says her book-signing tour has brought her enormous attention, and he complimented her political instincts.

Palin has only been in Iowa once since the election for a book-signing event in Sioux City.
King says there would be plenty of time for Palin to mount a campaign.
