If Sarah Palin runs in 2012 on the GOP ticket, the fact that she rubbed shoulders with a character like Lynn Vincent will destroy her and make it a 49-state victory for Obama. GOP, are you listening? . The “true American conservative” war-cry will not cut any more when a majority of Americans are much more concerned about their 401k’s and jobs rather than gay marriage. IMHO, some center-right candidate is the GOP’s only hope. Please put the religious right on the back benches.
