[Logic n' Reason]

there is no one else that can be called a leader - only clones of what we already have.

Kind of a "non-answer" there. Be prepared, I always say....

But what it comes down to is this....IF Mrs. Palin does not enter the fray....

Is it better to permit the stain and his regime another four years, or replace the stain and his regime with the other party's nominee and their "regime" (regardless of who that may be)?

Conventional wisdom would say “better the Devil you know, than the one you don’t”. However, this is the one exception to the rule. OTOH, following the dictates of the GOP is equally distasteful, if the choice is Romney. At this point, AND WITHOUT GOVERNOR PALIN, I guess I’d be OK with Rep. Bachmann or Paul or Gov. Perry. Not thrilled, mind you
