It’ll be Palin/Perry.
That’s how it is going to go down. Perry will deliver Texas. Romney can’t deliver Mass, or he’d be in. Cain can’t deliver anything.
Perry will be the institutional GOP guy, and Palin will be the maverick. He will also serve as the leaker, because Palin is going to throw daylight everywhere. Neither party is interested in that, and the average joe could care less if they do or not.
She waited long enough to make sure this was going to be a referendum on EVERYTHING. She can legitimately claim that both parties have thrown EVERYTHING at her, and she’s not only still here, she’s got more influence than anybody in the race.
If Palin needed help winning Texas, it would mean she was about to lose in a landslide.
If Palin actually got in the race, and I feel confident she wont, and won the nomination I'd guess she'd chose Rubio to give her a better shot at Florida. If she really wanted to be unconventional, maybe Cain if he were still doing well through the primaries.
“Cain can’t deliver anything”
He can deliver a pizza with 9 toppings in 9 minutes for 9 dollars, and that’s about all he can deliver. However, many want to follow him into the Rat trap and give 0 another four years!
Palin doesn't need Perry in order to take Texas or any solid Republican state. There is zero chance that she would pick Gov. Goodhair Mexi-RINO. Perry is a fraud.
