White House: Palin may be testing presidential run
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s spokesman says he believes Sarah Palin is heading to Iowa to test the waters for a possible presidential run.
Press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Friday that this is the time of year when potential candidates head to the politically important state to gauge the likelihood of a campaign. He says Palin’s stop in Iowa Friday appears designed to do just that.
Palin will speak at the Reagan Dinner in Des Moines, the Iowa Republican Party’s biggest fundraiser.
Gibbs says it’s clear that Palin can rally the very conservative elements of the Republican base and she may be “the most formidable force” in the GOP right now.
