I think it would play out badly for Obama. Better to keep him on the ticket.
Oh Gosh. Poor Sarah gets it from all directions. Democrats, The Whitehouse and even Republicans. If I were her I'd lead the Tea Party into America's third party and be the ultimate legacy builder. If anybody can do it, it would be her. Its apparent the GOP establishment has no use for her other than helping them raise money. They aren't even letting her speak at the convention.
Her biggest problem IMO with respect to getting a third party going is she's left nothing dissatisfied democrats can latch onto and it would help if she could build a coalition of both Republicans and dissatisfied Democrats. The closest she comes at winning over some Democrats would be strong career oriented women.
Its been further reported Secretary Clinton has already been asked and turn the offer down. If he's replaced, any ideas as to who will be a good Democrat VP nominee?

A party started by Palin wouldn't really have a chance of becoming a significant third party. There aren't enough people supporting with here huge favorablitiy deficits. And some of her current supporters would likely fall off if she did something like that, which would make it harder for conservatives to compete with Democrats. Her candidate Joe Miller couldn't even win against a regular Republican Lisa Murkowski candidate two years ago in Alaska even when her name wasn't on the ballot.
Odds are very very slim this would happen. It would be a pure negative, no upside whatsoever.
