Washington, Dec. 11 : Former Alaska Senator and 2008 presidential candidate Mike Gravel has predicted in an interview that former Governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin will run for president.

Gravel, a Democrat, called Palin''s politics "terrible."

"But that doesn''t detract from the fact that she''s a very talented person," Politico quoted him, as saying.

The former senator even allowed that Palin was more authentically Alaskan than he was because she liked to hunt and fish, neither of which he cares for. (ANI)
