On the other hand I think Huckabee is essentially a big government democrat who just also happens to be a fundamentalist baptist. The big plus is that I think she and Huck will both run for president in 2012 and hopefully split the same part of the base and make room for Romney (who would have been a winning candidate this year and still will in 2012) to get the nomination.

I think her first interviews were crappy, but I don't think she's dumb.
Once Fred dropped out, I voted for Romney in the primary. Maybe a Romney-Palin ticket wouldn't be so bad, assuming that Palin is ever viable again.
I've got no problem with Jindal either, for that matter, but what Jindal would bring in terms of intellect I think Palin surpasses in terms of charisma. But then again, I don't think she's dumb so I don't think she only brings charisma.
ETA: I think you may be kidding yourself that Romney would be a winning candidate this year. I think that Obama would have beaten him. I still hold out some hope that McCain will pull off a miracle, but I don't really think Obama was beatable by anyone with the level of support he had financially and with the press.
