>> It looks as if the only one who might be able to slow Perry down is Sarah. <<
You’re correct. So here’s how the typical primary vote might look:
Bachmann — 15%
Palin — 17%
Perry — 18%
Romney — 21%
Paul — 12%
Santorum —9%
Romer — 1%
Huntsman — 8%
Gingrich — 4%
None of the above — 5%
So guess who walks away with the delegates?
The point is that by causing a three-way split among conservatives, Palin (and Bachmann) will probably hand Romney the nomination on a silver platter. Mitt must be salivating at the prospect of Sarah’s entering the fray!
Perry or Romney?
I don't see either one of the two as being worthy of conservative support.
The best that can be said for them is that they are not Barack Obama.
