If she runs 3rd Party - she will be skewered by Rush, Levin and Hannity on a daily basis. That’s before the MSM gets involved.
Perot was not conservative, so his running third party did not split the heart of the Republican Party base but it did split the over all GOP vote. A Palin third party run is brutal bloody tea party type infighting.
Would be the disaster of disasters for all involved....except Obama.
Yup, Palin isn't a fool. There is no way she'd do that. Even those that defend her now would shred her for a 3rd party attempt - that includes Rush, Levin, Hannity, etc.
My view is that the Axlerod/Olberman/Maddow crew will push hard for Dems to crossover in open primaries and vote for Mitty. A reverse Op Chaos.
I think Mitty is the only R candidate that would guarantee a Tea party candidate in most states.
Obama can either be a landslide loser in a 2-way or a plurality winner in a 3-way.
Here is the thing about this thread. I am not advocating for that course of action. I am just pondering whether or not that is what is going through her head. I agree that is would be disastrous.
