Palin is the 900 lb gorilla not in the room.
I have been an advocate of Palin going 3rd party if Mitt is nominated. I believe she could win with 43% of the vote with R’money garnering 22% and Obama 35%. She pulls the Reagan Democrats and the independent anti-Obama crowd along with the tea party. Obama loses 7% of Clinton's 43% win as the Reagan democrats abandon him as do the independents.
Heck, Ross Perot got 19% as a nut case, all she has to get is 24% more, the numbers are there!
Pissed off patriots vote!
