How about we deal with what is and wait to see what will be?

If Palin get in it will change everything, however as of now she is not a candidate. Rather then assume things, let stick to what is.

If you manage to take down Perry, Romney is guaranteed to win. The same goes for Palin. If she enters now, the split goes between Palin and Perry, Romney wins even bigger.

Granted, Perry messed up, but don't start measuring and ordering curtains for the White House just yet. Perry might just come out of this OK, in spite of your best efforts to destroy him.
