Gov Palin and Gov Perry are both smart enough to not push the Right into the arms of a third party candidate. If they both run in the GOP primary, one of them would bow to the stronger candidate and then campaign for them. They are not destructive. They know a 3rd party choice would give Obama another 4 years to finish off this country.
Nobody is more aware of that fact than me. It alarms me that so many here believe that the general public is absolutely sold on a strong Conservative candidate. Especially, this dream that the most conservative candidate will win in a landslide, when most of the polls show that the country is still very much evenly divided.
With fraud, immigration, Welfare recipient class, etc, we are looking at another near 50/50 election again. It will be close, in spite of all the projection and claims of the opposite.
