On the Political demise of Sarah Palin and GOP2012

After the horror show that was her reality series and her complete failure at walking back any of her over the top rhetoric after the shootings in Arizona i think that it is clear to just about everyone that Sarah Palin is a just not ready for the big stage. Now i think that it should have been clear to most people with a working brain a long time ago but ... The question now becomes, who is the heir apparent? Is it really Michelle Bachmann? John Thune? Tim Pawlenty? Romney is a non-starter as is Barbour. My personal prediction is that the next GOP candidate will not be anyone that I have named in this post. I have no idea who it will be though.
