Sarah Palin's Dad, Chuck Heath, and father-in-law, Jim Palin, are in Idaho campaigning for a congressional candidate.
While there, they stopped by the Idaho Statesman to chat, among other things, about Sarah Palin.
Q: Can you shed any light on Sarah Palin's decision to resign as governor?
Heath: "Whenever I'm with Sarah, we never talk politics. It's always family or sports, and it kind of caught me by surprise. All I really know is what I read in the newspaper, and you can't depend on a newspaper to get all the facts."

Q: What's your hunch on whether Sarah Palin runs for president in 2012?
Heath: "You got a coin? I don't know. They surprise us and don't want to stress us out. 2012? I have no idea and I don't even ask or give her advice."
Palin: "My only comment would be, personally, I do not think you've seen the last of Sarah Palin in one form or another."
If you remember, on July 25, Heath essentially said the same thing to Politico's Jonathan Martin.
In a brief interview before the governor addressed the crowd, Chuck Heath, Palin’s father, said he didn’t know what was next for his daughter.
“I wish I knew,” Heath said. “I have no idea, honest.”
Noting that he had just spent several days with her on a local river, Heath quipped: “She’d be a good poker player. She never divulged what she’s going to do.”
