Tweet the People: Will Sarah Palin run for president in 2012?

Here's our Twitter topic of the day:

Earlier this week, we learned Sarah Palin opened a political action committee, signalling her desire to stay on the national political scene. And now we find out she will share the stage with President Obama at a swanky dinner event in Washington on Saturday.

Despite repeatedly denying that she is not running for president, we can't contain our giddiness over the prospect of a Palin-Obama slugfest in 2012.

What do you think? Is Palin gearing up for another run at the White House? If so, will she make it through the Republican primaries? Will she be able to defeat Obama?

Share your predictions by sending us a response on our GuardianUS Twitter page. You can do this by logging on to your Twitter account, typing @GuardianUS and then your comment of 140 characters or less. Of course, you can always comment on this blog post.

UPDATE: Here are some responses

@GuardianUS I was considering voting McCain, until he signed that demented cheerleader onto the ticket. No. Way. Ever.

so many possible jokes in that.

You betcha!

With a slightly tweaked question asking not only will she run, but should she run, we got this response from Candace Kuss:

@GuardianUS -*Should* Palin run? NO. *Will* she? Probably. Ego as big as all Alaska. But pls do not be gleeful. We don't need another circus

To which we replied,"@CandaceKuss I'm only gleeful when I go to real circuses. Political ones tend to depress me."

Thank you for contributing.
