The crowd chanted ``2012! 2012!'' as Palin disembarked her airplane at the Anchorage airport. Asked by reporters if she might run for president, Palin said, ``We'll see what happens then.''

The Alaska governor said she hoped to work with president-elect Barack Obama on energy policy. She was returning to the state after spending Tuesday night in Phoenix, where she watched election returns with her Republican running mate, Arizona Sen. John McCain.
