she will run.
DRF - I’ve no more insight than anyone else here on FR but I think she is now waiting to see how Perry does in the first round of debates and is absoultely determined that he gets way more vetting before she jumps in. If she gets in on Saturday the spotlight and attack diogs move instantly to her for good or for bad. Although she clearly extolled his virtues for the Governorship of Texas back in November 2010 I believe 2 things may have killed any propsect of an endorsement. Loyalty and honesty matter hugely to the Palins and it is part of their tribe DNA. Since her generous praise in late 2010 Perry abjectly failed to offer ANY public support in January 2011 when she was being accused as an accessory to mass murder (Giffords) and then he lied about his POTUS intentions. Sure everyone is free to change their minds but character matters. Odds on that Todd and Sarah don’t like what they see of this fellow in 2011.
I hope she gets in and gives all the other candidates the most demanding and rugged primary challenge they have ever experienced in their entire political careers. Will do em good!
