Against Palin, they do not need anything. All Sarah Palinn can accomplish is to be a conservative spoiler derailing other conservative campaigns.
A Sarah Palin run will simply divide the conservative vote even further than it is divided now with yet another fringe candidate that, like Ron Paul, has extremely loyal but extremely limited support.
Result: Victory to Romney.
There is no denying that both Sarah Palin and Ron Paul have extremely loyal but extremely limited Fan Clubs. The problem with both Sarah Palin and Ron Paul is that, outside of their own Choir, their popularity is downright toxic. (See August, 2011 FOX News Poll below)
The fantasy of Sarah Palin has finally started to kill off all conservative candidates that are not 100% perfect and whose name is not "Sarah Palin".
The winner of this dynamic is liberal Mitt Romney.
Nobody ever won a Super Bowl by perpetually pulling a "Brett Favre" and teasing month after month after month if he would play or not as the quarterback that is actually on the team is attacked and attacked and attacked for not being Bret Favre.
Perry, who Palin herself called "a true conservative", has stumbled as a result of those attacks. Fine. The Palin supporters got their wish
Now is time for Sarah to fly in and save the day like Supergirl.
Come on, Supergirl. Batman Perry is severely wounded. The evil Romney has no real opposition. What are you waiting for, Supergirl? Show up already and get in the fight or declare your intentions so that your followers do not help Romney by attacking every conservative whose name is not "Sarah Palin".
Supergirl?
Are you coming, Supergirl?
The reality is that there is no Santa Claus and there is no Supergirl. This is the reality.

In the world of politics, month and half old “polls” are as old as dirt.
You are going to be very shocked if she decides to run. She can and will campaign. She can do it like no other. When she gets in for the good of the country Perry should quit and endorse her. It would be the most conservative thing he has ever done.
Rick Perry isn’t in trouble because of the fantasy of Sarah Palin. Rick Perry is in trouble because of the reality of Rick Perry.
Supergirl? What are you smoking?
Yea, Perry and McCain. Do you have to be a supporter of illegal invaders to get Palin's support?
