There was a lot of speculation that Sarah Palin run in 2012 because of how awesome of a show she put on in 2008. Let's say she does not resign as Governor of Alaska and gets re-elected in 2010. She throws her hat in the ring for 2012, contending with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, Texas Governor Rick Perry, and former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman. Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann sits out 2012 because Palin eclipses her as the female Tea Party candidate, but does not rule out a run in 2016. Can Palin win the nomination? If she does, she can overcome the "War on Women" scenario hanging around the GOP's neck but will need to select a moderate for a running mate in order to not repulse moderates. Would Romney run again in 2016 after losing to her?
