It looks fairly certain that Perry will run. If Palin also runs, it could easily split the Conservatives ensuring that RINO Romney wins the nomination. It is unfortunate, but likely to occur.

Perry and Bachmann have the potential without Sarah in the race to split votes so Romney can win the nomination.

Romney remains the annointed one of the beltway set and they will do whatever they have to so he can win, hence candidates to split conservative votes.

"...split the Conservatives ensuring that RINO Romney wins..."

Truly pathetic "sky is falling" garbage. Palin smokes Romney and Perry combined. Use your brain.

Sarah is a fierce competitor. She WANTS the competition and may the best one wins.

One thing is certain, they will not split the Conservative vote. I could be wrong and am very willing to eat crow if I must, but if Sarah and Perry both jump in, I can see Perry backing out to support Sarah.

Just MHO. As I have stated, if I am wrong, I will eat the crow with a smile.

No Perry will become the generic republican and Romney will fade.

Perry is clearly no conservative, and will have little effect on conservative voting patterns.

Perry is competition for Romney and the other RINOs and jokes in the field.
