I am starting to guess Sarah Palin is on the sidelines deciding whether to run as an independent or not.
Guessing at the moment, she is tending toward the independent, more than the not, at this point.
Tea Party 2016.

If about 15-30% of the sitting Congressmen would agree to switch to the new party then the old GOP could be supplanted like the Wigs were supplanted. But I’d hate to have a real conservative doing a Ralph Nader or Ross Perot on us thus leaving a clear field for Hillary, or, God-forbid, Joe Biden. I tend to believe that Sarah would not do that to the country.
I know many people sat out the last election because Mitt was a socialist. But at least he was an American socialist. I held my nose and filled in the circle next to his name.

Independent Presidential runs don’t produce national winners. It is better to work from within the party to select the most conservative nominee possible.
The last independent to win a state was George Wallace in 1968 with five states [AR, LA, MS, AL and GA], some 9 million plus votes [13.5%] and 45 Electoral Votes.
The one previous to that was Strum Thurmond in 1948 with four states, some 1 million plus votes [2.4%] and 39 Electoral Votes.
