DescriptionAt the end of an hour-long interview with Fox News' newest contributor, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck asked her a simple question: Are you a Republican?

Palin replied yes, that she is still a registered Republicans. But she added that there "are times that I am tempted to bail from the party."

"But I recognize we are a two-party system. The Republican Party -- the planks in our platform are, are the best, strongest planks upon which to build a great state, in Alaska, a great country. I'm going to stay a Republican," Palin told Beck in an interview on his daily Fox show. "But there are those temptations."

Beck then asked if that rules out a third party run for office.

"I don't think there is that need for a third party -- if Republicans get back to what the planks say," she said.

That's a big if, Beck quickly replied. To which Palin said that if an individual candidate campaigns, but then does not deliver on "what they promised to do, standing on those planks in the platform, you gotta fire them. You've got to get rid of them."
