Talk-show host Sean Hannity, a vocal opponent of Barack Obama's policies, said today he would not rule out a bid for the presidency in 2012.

While Obama's approval ratings have been plummeting in his first year in office, no clear Republican frontrunner has emerged. The candidates most often considered viable include Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and Hannity's Fox News colleague Mike Huckabee.Cunningham, one of Hannity's guests during a visit to Cincinnati today, said the nation and the Republican Party need Hannity.
When WND asked Hannity to repeat what he said on the air about a run, he said, "I ducked."
Later in the program, a member of the audience asked what the host thought of a Hannity-Palin ticket.
The studio audience erupted in applause.
Hannity asked: "Would any of you really want me to run?"
Loud applause followed.
Hannity then asked, "How about I just stay on the radio?"
No applause.
Sarah Palin? Sean Hannity? I'm going to mark November 2012 in my diary. Regardless of the candidates, I have a feeling the next US Presidential race could be its most intriguing yet.

This came up in Sean's daily show notes email on Friday. Nothing was confirmed, but a quote from Sean from some on-stage appearance (I'm assuming it was at one of Sean's "Freedom concerts") was published:
ReplyDelete"I'm not ruling anything in or out. I've never made a decision in my life without - whatever destiny God has you've got to fulfil it."
I dare say that a Hannity/Palin ticket would probably be the most popular ticket they could run...and the two like each other. Today, they'd probably win, but three years is a really long time in politics.
I should check when Hannity's contract expires with Citadel and Premiere Radio Networks.
