Gov. Sarah Palin has established herself as a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2010, The Boston Globe reports.

Phyllis Woods, New Hampshire's Republican National Committeewoman, told The Globe that Palin could be a serious presidential candidate in 2012.

"Why can't she be a serious contender? Do we really think people's opinions of candidates are shaped by 'Saturday Night Live'? Or even Katie Couric interviews?" Woods said.

Earlier in the story Woods said that Palin can relate to "everyday people."

"I think she's phenomenal. She's inspiring. She tells the truth. She speaks from the perspective of everyday people," Woods said.
