Could Sarah Palin be considering a run for the presidency?
"Anything is possible," Palin told CNN in an exclusive interview at her polling station in Wasilla, Alaska on Tuesday regarding a 2016 presidential run.
Palin also added that she "wouldn't close any doors" if any of her fellow Republicans were unable to lock down a nomination, or if any nominee wanted her to partake as a candidate in the upcoming election.
The Super Tuesday interview with the formal vice presidential candidate was impromptu, and came unexpectedly for the news network. CNN was at the Wasilla polling station to cover the Alaska caucus vote on Tuesday evening when Palin showed up to cast her vote.
"I can't say there was an expectation that Sarah Palin would be there. We were there to cover the caucus and Sarah Palin showed up," CNN Washington bureau chief Sam Feist told The Huffington Post.
Palin refused to tell the news network who she voted for, but later told Fox Business Network that she voted for Newt Gingrich.

"My preference tonight was for the cheerful one," she added.
