Jury selection is beginning in what could be the battle royale of modern-day defamation cases: Sarah Palin v. The New York Times.

The former GOP vice presidential candidate sued the New York Times over its claims about her role in a mass shooting.

Sarah Palin's moxie and background would give her an automatic leg up over the rest of the primary field.

'I would say you guys better be there for me this time, because a lot of people were not there for me last time,' Palin told her audience.

Sarah Palin has fired back at Obama, who used his new memoir to attack her for bringing 'dark spirits' to the Republican Party.

In his book, Obama concluded that racist sentiments 'migrated from the fringe of GOP politics to the center.'
