Palin Tells Supporters: 'Room for More' in GOP Race

From The Washington Post:

Sarah Palin tantalized supporters on the eve of her appearance at a tea party rally by telling reporters “there’s room for more” candidates in the contest for the Republican presidential nomination. But she gave no hint as to whether she was talking about herself.

The former Alaska governor was mobbed by enthusiastic supporters who chanted, “Run, Sarah, run!” when she arrived at a Des Moines suburb Friday evening. Many had come hundreds or thousands of miles to attend Saturday rally in Indianola and many believe that Palin will become a candidate.

Aides have suggested that Palin will not make her intentions clear on Saturday and what she said Friday night did nothing to clarify the picture. Asked about the current field of candidates, she said she was happy with them, but added, “I think there’s room for more, though, because spirited debate and more competition will allow an even better discourse and more rigorous discourse that the public deserves.”

With that, she and her husband Todd were swallowed up by the crowd inside the restaurant. For more than half an hour, she posed for photographs, signed autographs and chatted with supporters who had been brought together by the group Conservatives4Palin.

She did not speak, but Peter Singleton, who has spent considerable time in Iowa promoting a Palin candidacy, did. Saying the group’s mission “is literally to save this great nation,” Singleton told the crowd of several hundred people, “There is no one who has the political courage or vision of this woman.”
