The linked article states, “In time we will see current economic liberalism disappear entirely” because economic changes have “left Democrats with only the most ephemeral lifestyle and cultural issues.”

That won’t happen anytime soon. Regardless of who wins this year, 2016 will see liberals urging higher taxes on the rich and conservatives urging entitlement reform and spending cuts. The only difference will be that, if Romney wins, Republicans in Congress will be more muted about their conservatism, because they’ll follow party loyalty and not criticize the Romney administration.

As for Sarah, she might run if Romney loses this year. Given that she didn’t run this year, in an open race, I can’t see her challenging a Republican incumbent.

I’m not on board with Romney. Not yet anyway. I remain praying for His guidance, so I’m not the proper person to talk to about sunshine and rosy outlooks, no matter which liar wins the election. All I’m certain about is that the Marxist hates America and if he’s reelected, he will destroy it whereas Romney doesn’t hate America, he just despises us TEA Party patriots, but “maybe” Paul Ryan can change his mind.

Should Romney win and turn out to be a big spending, over-reaching, government mandating RINO, I think he’ll be met with TEA Party challengers. Maybe a viable Third Party might be born.

Given that [Sarah Palin] didn’t run this year, in an open race, I can’t see her challenging a Republican incumbent.

Ronald Reagan did, twice.

So did Ted Kennedy.

So did Ross Perot, on the "You're a Rabbit" ticket.

And by the way, it wasn't an "open race" ..... huge efforts were exerted to keep her out (by lying to, and luring in, other conservatives who had no chance, to dry up the funding pool) ...... and they worked. Karl Rove must be very pleased with himself. Mitt Romney, too.
