Lesser of two Weevils.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has endorsed Rick Perry for re-election, calling him the "true conservative" in a primary election showdown with fellow Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Palin, who electrified the GOP base as the party's vice presidential nominee last year, has strong support among the party's social conservatives. Her endorsement appeared aimed at undercutting Hutchison's appeal with GOP women. Both groups will be important in picking the party's nominee in next year's Republican primary.
In a letter to "Texas Republican women" distributed by the Perry campaign, Palin touts the Texas governor's conservative credentials.
"He walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks by his guns – and you know how I feel about guns," she said.
Palin cited one of the Perry campaign's top issues – opposition to federal financial bailouts. And she singled out Perry's opposition to abortion rights.
"Not every child is born into ideal circumstances, but every life is sacred," Palin said in the mail appeal. "Rick Perry knows this – it is at the core of his being."

LOL.
Now about this egotist forcing that STD medication on the people of Texas.....
Why is she running against this incumbent governor of the same party?
Are there no term limits in Texas or something?
A major slap at Kay Bailey.
I imagine that Palin’s governor ties with Perry have a lot to do with this, plus Perry and Palin are in the RGA leadership together.
Compared to Hutchison he just might be the “true conservative”.
Birds of a feather? Today on Glenn Beck show I heard that Sarah Palin was for the porculus bill.
Lesser of two Weevils.
Yes that is laughable.
Just shows how fungible the term “conservative” has become.
Not a big fan of KBH, but she will tear Goodhair a new one next year.
Never on Kay Bailey. I've been through with her for 10 years.
Yes, it does come down to that.
That’s certainly not going to help her in Texas.
Do you remember the hot mic incident last summer when noonan and folks at msnbc outed Hutchison as not supporting the Palin pick as VP?
Payback.
Yea, kay bailey is a skank.
She is the worst republican senator from TX in a long time.
Today she described daschle as a “friend” of her’s.
Enough said.
Which “her”?
She’s against the bill, already posted numerous times I hope Glenn retracts the story tomorrow
Kay Bailey voted for SCHIP last week and wasn’t Perry against it? I don’t consider her vote on that very conservative.
