What you see now is what you are going to get unless Jeb Bush enters the race.

The GOP has a history of never nominating DARK HORSES.

So you are left with Newt as he is the only one of the top 4 left.

Well, I'd take Palin over Newt, Romney (and the idea of Huck boggles my mind, the man is awful). With that said, I still believe it will be a sitting Governor...Eitehr Barbour or Mitch Daniels. Both would square off much better Vs Obama (than Palin) and both are leaders, Governors making tough decisions.

We are finding out right now how dangerous it is to have people as POUTS/CinC who need to learn on the job (outside of their wrongheaded politics). Palin would be no different, she would need 2 or 3 years of training on the job. Reality is, whether Conservatives here want to admit it or not....If any DEM with Palin's "light" executive record was the DEM nominee, we would call them out on it. We cannot afford more training on the job.
