If Palin wants it, and she does, who could stop her from the Iowa Caucus in '12?

I don't think winning Iowa holds as much weight as it once did.  Look at Huckabee. 

That's kinda the point of the thread.  But not the inherent question.

How could Palin be worse positioned than Huckabee?  She's come out as pro-Ethanol, has mad connections, and has even more base appeal.

Thune, I guess, unless he's a deregulator.

Republicans tend to be deregulators.

I know.

Hopefully, the party can eject them out and stick to the populists that will likely be the base.

While we're at it, can we have Peace on Earth, too?

That'd be nice, but sadly unachievable. War is a evil that will sadly stay around, but that is why we have to stay defensive, helpful, and alert.

I just figured I'd ask since we were talking about the unlikely.

I think that Fiscal Conservatism is likely to leave the GOP, after this year. The Social and Fiscal Conservatives are in a duke out, and I guarantee the small government people that have corrupted this nation for so long will finally leave the GOP.

The fiscal conservatives left long ago. But I assume you mean economically right-wing. Anyways, even Republicans whom are supposed to be non economically right-wing, like Huckabee, support crazy economic policies like a national sales tax.

That social conservatism and economic libealism will really help the GOP expand their base to expand into that critical region of Kentucky and West Virginia.

National party...?
