Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin hasn't decided whether or not she'll run for president in 2012, but if she does, she says she could beat President Barack Obama.

"I'm not so egotistical as to believe that it has to be me, or it can only be me, to turn things around," she said in a Newsweek cover story. "But I do believe that I can win."

Palin isn't expected to decide whether she'll run or not until the end of the summer, but that didn't stop her from talking about it. Palin told Fox News' Sean Hannity that she has what it takes to run the country.

"I'm still thinking about being one who would offer myself up in the name of service, knowing confidently that I have those common sense, fiscally conservative, pro-private sector policy experience and ideas that can be put to good work for this country," she said Wednesday night.

Palin says one thing that would be stop her from running in 2012 is her family.

"...If it came down to the family just saying, 'Please, Mom, don't do this,' then that would be the deal-killer for me, because your family's gotta be in it with you," she told Newsweek.

Outspoken daughter Bristol has said that her mom will run for office. "I think Bristol has made up her mind, and Bristol wants me to run for president," Palin said. "But we're still thinking about it. I'm still thinking about it."
