No. 5 (and the most likely, IMO) is she doesn't run and instead anoints the winning candidate.

This might not be a bad outcome, all things considered.

The problem right now, there are few Conservatives even as potential candidates. I know some point to DeMint, but he will have problems with his prior endorsement of Romney. Then, there's Gov. Barber. He seems to be a Conservative but certainly would be a long shot, and is not exactly an outsider.

Are there other Conservatives I'm forgetting?

Not acceptable to me because that would be rewarding the pond scum left wing pubbies that have trashed her even when she was running in 2008 as VP nominee.

They do not want her because they cannot stay on the gravy train and push the party to the left with her. She will remove what is left of their cojones. They let her take all the slings and arrows when they were the huge minority,now that she has got the Republicans back on the road to recovery they want to drown her,and take over. They can dunk their heads in the toilet bowl three times and bring them out twice.
