Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin isn’t ruling out a run for the presidency in 2012, but she could be just as happy to sit it out.

“I love the position that I’m in now,” given the freedom she has to say what she thinks, she said on Fox News Sunday. “I would weigh that, the freedom that I have now, against the constraints that I would have as a candidate.”

Ms. Palin, who was the GOP’s 2008 vice presidential nominee, added that she’d be willing to step aside in favor of a number of conservative candidates. “There are a lot of folks out there if they were willing to run…I’d be their supporters,” she said. “I’d root for them.”
