Sarah Palin: I'm 'hopefully running for office in the future'
Sarah Palin, the former half-term Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate, says she may run for office again, if only to "bug the crap" out of liberals.
"Those haters out there don't understand that it invigorates me," she said Tuesday on Fox Business.
"The more they're pouring on the more I'm gonna bug the crap out of them by being out there with a voice, with a message, hopefully running for office in the future, too," she added.
