You seem to be confusing Palin with Mitt Romney.
In our present climate, while Governor Palin helped save the GOP by absorbing and redirecting much of the third party talk, Romney’s nomination could actually result in a third party effort, one that could result in the GOP getting 30%.
Romney is a non-starter, so he won't make a good boogie man for Palin supporters. I guess you think RINOs are going to vote for Palin. Ain't happening.
