The media will go with Palin and Romney. Paul has a large number of supporters (I think more than some realize), but unless someone else comes out of the woodwork (which is always possible); or if Paul has a streak of luck with the media giving him the same coverage they give to whomever their favorite Republican candidate is, I think it'll be Romney and I do NOT rule out Plain.

I can't imagine they'd be stupid enough to vote nominate Palin, Tis.
If Obama is going to be vulnerable in 2012 (and I think he will be), and the Republicans have a legitimate chance of winning the election, they won't want to nominate a "throwaway" candidate who they know has no chance of winning (like Bob Dole in '96).
She'd scare away the moderates, who were so instrumental in Obama winning the last election. I know that if I were countinue to sour on Obama (and I REALLY hope it doesn't come to that), I'd vote for the right Republican. I've done so in the past. I will NOT blindly vote for a political party, even though I'm a lifelong Democrat.
That said, I'd NEVER vote for a ticket with Palin on it. She's a fucking loon. Her candidacy should be taken no more seriously than that of a high profile shock jock or porn star who decides to throw his/her name into the mix for the free publicity.
