Palin: ‘Still time’ for ‘unconventional’ race

Published September 21, 2011 4:00am ET



Nearly three weeks after what her supporters had hoped would be a Labor Day kickoff to her campaign, Sarah Palin says she’s still considering running for president. “There is still time,” the former Alaska governor told Fox News’ Sean Hannity Tuesday night. “And I think on both sides of the aisle I think you’re going to see people coming and going from the race.”

With no formal Palin organization in any state, political insiders have for months doubted that Palin could quickly assemble a top-tier campaign.  But Palin made clear on Tuesday that she does not believe she needs an old-style campaign based on county chairmen, finance committees, endorsements, and months of hand-shaking.  “This is going to be such an unconventional election cycle,” she told Hannity.  “Mark my word, it is going to be an unconventional type of election process.”
