In a Fox News interview, RNC Chairman Michael Steele doesn't think it's possible for Gov. Sarah Palin to run for president in 2012.
Said Steele: "Not having talked to the governor, I take 2012 off the table right now simply because given everything she's going through personally, dealing with the financial mess that all these ludicrous investigations have put her and Todd in, at the moment, I think she's trying to focus on getting her house in order, her personal house in order."
A new Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 40% of Americans think Palin hurt her chances of getting the GOP nomination by resigning as governor. However, 61% of Republicans still think she'll run.
