fame and has chosen politics as her path to that goal.

As I examine the steaming entrails of the sacrificial beast it appears that Ex-Governor Palin will compete in the Iowa primary but will not win that contest and, hearing her handlers tell her that she will be trounced in New Hampshire, will invoke the Going Rogue option (likely planned all along) and declare herself an independent, third-party candidate.

This sustains her celebrity, activates nutbag donors, and dims the next day's political headlines from Des Moines for whoever does win in Iowa, likely Huckabee.
