The nomination becomes up for grabs at the conventions. After (or even before) rounds of balloting, Palin’s name is placed in nomination.
Palin is selected as the nominee with her declaring that Herman Cain will be her running mate.
The liberal gender/race-based media is rushed to the hospitals from acute anxiety attacks. They never fully recover.
Palin/Cain win in a landslide because Karl “Tokyo” Rove is not allowed to participate in the campaign since his abilities are limited to orchestrating squeaker elections, i.e., he doesn't know how to win in a landslide.
