How about, not only run in a major race, but WON three of them in a row...

Oh, Perry managed to beat all of the liberal Dems, RINOs, Truthers, and wack job comedians he ran against. No question about that, but it's a mighty poor endorsement of his ability to compete on a national level against solid conservatives (of which he is not).

Perry's got the bona fides that Palin only wishes she had.

Heh... Now, that's just plain funny - I don't care who you are ;-)

Perry's favorables were 60% when the race against KBH started. KBH was at 75%. He was waaay behind with women, hence the initial endorsement from Palin,

Palin's favorables with Republicans and Pubbie leaning Indies is 78%.

The past couple of years she has been telling everybody elses story. I want to see what happens when SHE gets to tell her own story.

That's actually a very important point.

Texans as a whole are very jingoistic, and not very bright.

So running as a "good ole' boy" against the lefties there is like taking votes from baby, so to speak.

But the kind of swagger which plays in Texas does not play in the rest of the (higher-IQ) states.

And given that Perry's been around Texas long enough to have ensconced a number of his peeps, thereby making him an insider (big fish in a statewide pond) --

it makes the superiority of Sarah (cleaned out the corruption in her own party) all the more glaringly obvious.

Thanks for posting this, Windflier.

Cheers!
