I do believe the biggest hurdle will not be the general, but getting the nomination.
With people like Pence, Bolton, Cain, and other decent sounding conservatives (most of whom we like) getting into the race, the primaries become the more difficult race. None of the conservative elves can win, but if Huckaphony enters the race, the biggest danger is the vote splitting allowing the GOP elite to get its dearly beloved candidate, one Mitt Romney slithering into the nomination.

I am not so sure, Sharky. I think she can win the nomination fairly easily. The Establishment tried to jam Regan with a big field as well including Phil Crane and Bob Dole (who was considered a conservative at the time). In spite of the number of candidates (which included the Senate minority leader Howard Baker and former TX governor and Treasury Secretary John Connally, they were never able to pry Reagan’s fingers off the conservative base.
I expect the same will happen with Palin. Her positives are so high among the GOP in Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa and South Carolina (and even more off the charts with conservatives) that I expect her to sweep the field.
Yes...Hermanator rocks big time! WOW! not sure of his positions on invaders though as he was head of restaurant business-type groups. I know conservatives that are all into following the New World Order scene and believe Palin is a set-up to ensure Obama wins a second term.Something about they have info on her they are sitting on and will release at the right moment...are not supportive of her.
Maybe a Hermanotor/Palin ticket would really clear the field.
