Palin will win the GOP primaries if she runs 2012.
While the money may come from the coast elitists, the votes come from the people (Mr Steele close the primaries and stop the caucuses!!!)
If the GOP runs another RINO, they can stuff it.
We all should write in Palin then.
Excellent idea. McCain wouldn't have been our candidate if only republicans would have been able to vote in the primaries.
Close the primaries, along with paper ballots; ALL of which need to be tied to a living, eligible voter. ALL others disqualified.

I’d like to refer you to exhibit A: John McCain.
I bet 80% of the GOP was opposed to his getting the nomination....but he did.
Palin may have a presidential future...but she is going to have to spend some time building relationships with fundraisers. I don’t think she wants to waste all of her fuel on a 2012 run, without alot of preparation. Remember, even Hillary ran out of money in the primaries, and it hurt her.
The real reason the Messiah beat out Mac...he decided not to use public financing, and outspent McCain.
Sadly, alot of this is about money. The ‘moderates’ out there are swayed by tv ads and robocalls.
Palin is going to need a big warchest, just to outspend Romney.
Mr Steele can't close the primaries. IIRC, individual states control the primaries.
