Sarah Palin 'Knows' Whether She'll Run For President In 2012: Bristol Palin (VIDEO)

Bristol Palin said during an appearance on Tuesday's edition of "Fox & Friends" that her mother "definitely knows" whether or not she will run for president of the United State in the next election cycle.

"We've talked about it before," said the 20-year-old daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. "Some things just need to stay in the family."

The remarks come the same day as the potential presidential candidate heads to the key primary state of Iowa for the premiere of a documentary on her tenure as governor. News of the film has stirred speculation about what plans, if any, the elder Palin has in the works for 2012.

Earlier this week, Bristol Palin said during an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" that she'd be excited if her mother decided to launch a campaign for the White House in 2012.

"I think she's smart," the younger Palin said of her mother. "I think she would be awesome for our country."

That can only mean that SP is not running, so that Bristol is just trying to prop up the buzz by implying that she might long enough for SP to milk that cash cow a few months longer.

Palin doesn't have to run for president.She has done so much damage to the Democrats just for badgering her and her family. I think its become a war and I see Palin clearly winning. Obama supporters think he his reelection will be a cake walk. WRONG!!! It's the economy that dictates reelection of incumbents..If you don't believe it,just ask Jimmy Carter or Bush the 1st.

Any damage that Sarah Palin has done to the Democrats is in the minds of Republicans. No sensible Independent or Democrat has been swayed by the incoherent ramblings of Sarah Palin.

Thank goodness Bristol has lots of time for herself and doesn't consider herself chained down to her child. I suspect that her book tour and speaking engagements will keep her plenty occupied while her child is being raised by wild animals in Alaska or Arizona or California or wherever it is that she is presently treating as her base of operations.

If she runs, it would be her THIRD loss, including losing in 2008 and quitting in Alaska. That should take care of her. So, she won't run and try to keep herself viable as a spokesperson for the rabid right.

Nobody cares Bristol ! But if it makes you feel better, go ahead and make your announcement for the Quitter on Twitter.

Some things should be kept in the family? Uh.....like stuff in your book?????

I think stories about sex and wine coolers should "STAY IN THE FAMILY" and decisions of running for president or not should obviously go public. Voters need to know if she's running, Fox News needs to be notified so they can terminate her contract, and certainly her supporters deserve not to be jerked around.

The Palins live in a parallel universe where up is down and left is right. So things that should stay private end up in books, and things that should be public are 'in the vault'

I'm sure the other teenagers in Wasilla are howling at the notion that Bristol EVER drank wine coolers. Jack Daniels and Crown Royal seem to be the beverages of choice for that hard-partying crowd.

I wonder if she also knows you can't just announce it the day of the election.

But no question about her facial surgery? As far as gossip journalism goes, that is terrible.

This whole deal reminds me of how Brett Farve used to tease the NFL over whether he would retire or not. It's all about the Benjamins.

Instead of having plastic surgery and writing a book (actually someone else wrote it for her), she needs to get an education. Being ignorant like her mom is such a travesty.

Palin ain't runnin'. Period. She's just trying to make as much money as she can with all her phoney bus tours, meetings, speeches, etc.
