I can’t read a Perry article without thinking of Palin. I’m not talking about politics, but MSM spin.
Every article about Palin says she is too late to declare, is teasing people with her indecision, is indecisive, and is just leading people on for publicity.
In articles regarding Perry, there is no such slander of Perry being to late to announce or teasing people with his waiting.
The PDS double-standard from the MSM is just sinister. And then you get the same things picked up by Palin detractors here on FR.
Anything that applies to Perry should apply to Palin. Either neither is late or teasing, or they both are.
After listening to Perry discuss his decision making process, he has been upfront about the timeline. First, he claims it was never on his radar until his wife started talking about it. Then, as acting Governor, he said he would finish the Special Session before even considering a presidential run. And now that it's over, he is meeting with party fundraisers and grass roots organizers to determine if it is logistically feasible.
Having already been on the Republican presidential ticket in the last election, there is a presumption that Palin would jump in. Since she is currently out of public office, there is nothing stopping her from declaring any time, and start campaigning immediately. She already has a solid support base that could turn into a campaign organization fairly quickly.
The circumstances for both are not comparable. There is still time for both.
I've said before, I believe they are talking to each other. They have a solid working relationship, and have been supportive of each other.
