From Erika Bolstad in Washington D.C. --

The Sarah Palin media blitz continues, with the governor on CNN's Situation Room being interviewed in Miami by Wolf Blitzer as I type. (The link will take you to a link to the video of the interview.)

Palin begins by telling Blitzer "you can call me the has-been." Her confidence and down-to-earthiness ("My kids are cool!") beg the question: Where was this Sarah Palin during the presidential campaign?

The newsiest part of the interview? When she was asked whether she would ever appoint herself as senator if Sen. Ted Stevens is re-elected and he resigns or is expelled from the Senate. That would be "egotistical and arrogant," said Palin, saying she wouldn't do it. She also said she feels as though she has a "contract with Alaskans" to continue to serve as governor, but wouldn't completely rule out a run for the U.S. Senate if the opportunity presented itself.

It depends on Alaska voters, Palin said, and "if they call an audible on me, and if they say they want me in another position, I'm going to do it. ... My life is in God's hands. If he's got doors open for me, that I believe are in our state's best interest, the nation's best interest, I'm going to go through those doors."
