let's face it, the repubs are going to put in Palin in 2012 for the GOP candidate.
She gets that bottom 30% of dummies. The other 70% - highly intelligent and rational republicans - will split up their vote among the remaining 5 or 6 GOP candidates.
Instead of an intelligent and sensible Repub destroying obama in the debates and winning the election, we'll have Palin flying off the handle with emotional outbursts and embarassing quotes. She's a gaffe machine when it's voluntary tweeting and friendly fox news. What happens when she has to answer katie Couric-type questions for 18 hours a day like the other canddiates do?
Obama will win in 2012. Ron Paul would whoop him in the election and maybe do some good things, but that'll never happen thanks to the 15% of americans who let their boners do their voting.
