10. In a sane world, that would work

However, Tampa 2012 is going to be either one of two things: a mess of truly epic proportions, or a well timed, clockwork goosestep. If the election gets close enough for them to steal again, they know they will need someone they can actually sell as getting those few precious extra votes. If the convention is just a bunch of sad folks choking down Mitt because he is the only thing on the plate, they will NOT be able to make a case that Mitt could win a close election. Even Tony Scalia will not be able to make anyone swallow that, especially with social media being a much stronger, wilder beast than it was in 2000.

The GOP is desperate, because they know that, even with a few billion to keep the pacs ripping on Obama, they know Mitt is NOT a name that will lure people into the circus tent. That is why anyone, and I do mean ANYONE, is open. Jeb Bush is actually one of the least crazy options they could pick, awful, but less crazy, why, because they are desperate. Does this mean even Palin has a chance? You betcha.
