Palin would endorse Herman Cain. If she’s the kingmaker, then he is the man who would be king.

No matter whom she endorses, if she’s not in, it’s going to be Romney. If she announces she’s sitting it out in 2012, she will have said in effect, “Romney’s The One.”
I know she would not endorse him in the primaries. But if she doesn’t run she gives him the win, because nobody else is capable of knocking him out.
