SARAH PALIN.
If Romney gets the nod, look for a creditable third party/Tea Party run. One where the PUBs/Whigs come in third. Tea Party caucus needs to renounce the GOP and stand as a separate voting bloc, thus setting the stage for 2012.
Spot On!
However, using the "beer truck" syndrome as at least a possibility (that is: Mrs. Palin won't be available), who's next?
