How bad do you want it? What would you do to guarantee Barack Obama is denied another term and another four years to destroy as much as he possibly can? Whoever is nominated to challenge the tyrant, it will take sacrifice from all factions of the right wing. The Palinites, the Paulites, the Huckabee evangelicals, and Levin libertarians. The Tea Party and the GOP. All will have to come together behind whoever is put forth.
I'm going to come right out and say it without sugarcoating a thing. Sarah Palin cannot win. Not she will not win, she CANNOT win. It's time to put aside the religious fervor for Sarah and come back to reality. She's a conservative warrior no doubt, a great speaker, and a powerful woman. However, she is not only unfit for the presidency just as Obama was unfit for the presidency, her charisma will not extend beyond the ranks of her camp within the right. She will never capture the independent vote. You and I both know this.
In order to beat Obama, the GOP needs to put forth a candidate who is as attractive, energetic, intelligent, and mainstream just as Obama appeared to be in 2008. We need a candidate who will go toe to toe with him on any issue. Not a crusty, bumbling fool like John McCain or a walking, talking left wing Christmas present like Sarah Palin has made herself out to be. I want you to imagine Barack Obama and Sarah Palin in the presidential debates. He would carve her up like a Thanksgiving turkey.
Ron Paul? Forget it. His views are too radical for independents and most conservatives, and his clear inability to defend America from her enemies will most certainly cost him an avalanche of Republican votes. Mike Huckabee? Again, he will capture the evangelical, and likely most of the GOP base, but his religious almost theocratic stance will drive away the independent vote, handing Obama nearly every swing state. Mitt Romney? He has no chance. And why? He is far too liberal for a true conservative to vote for him. So we can end it right there.

Here's why Paul Ryan has the best chance. He has a combination of a) Limited government/conservative ideology that will appeal not only to the right, but center as well, b) Exceptional speaking and debating skills that will make Obama look like a fool and c) Attractive outward appearance and persona, which is just what the Republicans need.
When is the last time the Republicans put forth a fresh, exciting, young candidate? Ronald Reagan. Not only does Paul Ryan strangely look like Reagan, he possesses a Reagan like charisma that has the potential to capture the vote not just of the right, but those sitting on the fence as well.
Give Paul Ryan a thought. He has the best chance. He is the Antidote.
