Jesters or geniuses?

As the presidential political machine is gearing up for 2012, a question crossed my mind: Is the GOP full of court jesters or are they geniuses?

Follow me her for a moment. In the 2008 election, they believed it to be a foregone conclusion that America would never elect a Black man. To that end, they allowed Sarah Palin to go "rogue."

This resulted in the emergence of the Tea Party movement, also referred to as the Tea Baggers by their opponents. Say what you will, but the Tea Partiers were organized and prepared. Enough so to wrestle the House and key governorships away from Democratic control in the 2010 elections.

Beyond that, I heard something today that started me to thinking. As is evident, the extreme right wing are great strategists and planners and this is what they propose:
1) A yet to be revealed "star" to claim the presidency
2) Donald Trump as Secretary of the Treasury
3) Sarah Palin as Secretary of Energy
4) John McCain as Secretary of Defense
5) Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee as Secretary of State
6) Newt Gingrich as Vice President of the United States

Now here is the scary part. With their successes in 2010, it IS possible to recreate red states into blue states. And for all of those who think that this is an impossible proposition, let me introduce you to Chad who is often found hanging around voting polls and not counting one iota.
