You can probably take a bunch right off the top for Sarah Palin - quitter extraordinaire.

Many of the other (R) voters and Teabaggers have fallen in love and got their hearts broke over Cain, then the ups and downs with all the other pretenders. Additionally, traditional (R)s identify with a totally different type than the Teabaggers - they're going to split their own vote.

50% are going to be unhappy with whomever is chosen, and that bodes well for (D)s, from the President on down.
