True, there were no legit conservatives in the race in 08. I supported Hunter and Tancredo as a protest vote.
But, if Palin runs, that is not the case for 2012. Palin has national appeal.
But some are dead set on assuring Romney and the establishment will win yet again.
I support Hunter not as a protest, but because he is the wisest and most conservative. If he runs again, he’s got my vote. If Palin wins the nomination I’ll support her, assuming she straightens out her thoughts on Amnesty. But I see a very good chance that DeMint, Pence, Thune, or Barbour might run too. If so, any will do. What I will never vote for is Mitt/Pawlenty/Perry/Rudy. My days of RINO voting ended long ago.
