80%?  No.  probably better than 8.0% though.  Yes, she is popular with the religious right, which is a sizable portion of the GOP; but so is Huckabee.  And Huck probably has more appeal among the more intellectual of the religious right - which are those who herd the authoritarian RR types toward a certain candidate.  Palin does likely have more appeal to the most base, rage and fear style Republicans, but I'm not sure that's much of an offset.

If I were to guess odds (via rectal extraction, I suppose) I would gauge the likelyhood of nomination as:

Huckabee: 40%
Romney 30%
Pawtney: 10%
Palin:10%
Other: 10%
