If Perry runs and the economy is still where it's at, he'll win the primaries easily. Romney's position on healthcare leaves him at a significant disadvantage. Palin's position with independent voters is tenuous at the moment; but her ability to rally the base and the general republican party is bar-none the best.

Given Perry and Palin's relative closeness, I think he'll want her on his ticket; because of the audiences, money, and showing she brings, she'll be the vp to pick.

Now personally speaking, I think Perry isn't my top picks in conservative candidates. But I'd vote for Perry/Palin, especially given the 'President' we have now. He'd win and she'd have a good chance with Rubio in 2020. I know some people here may disagree, but I think Sarah needs the VP spot to prove herself to the independents, as she seems to be far too polarizing at the moment ie liberals are going crazy over her for nothing. I figure if she's in a key position, she can make the case for her eventual presidential position.

Plus we need to think of presidential elections for the next 20 years out, not just the immediate consequences. Setting up a situation where we have stars like Rubio and Palin...vs duds like Dole, McCain, etc. The age factor for those two and the potential they have is far more significant of a factor in the long-run.

I think Perry/Palin will happen, and not with out some reservation by me, but I will likely support it...and hope the future brings out a more conservative flow as time precedes.

ps...I consider myself an indie right voter ie I won't vote for the right unless I think the move is in the right direction. I'm part of the reason why 2010 showed Obama he's ass. I supported Fred Thompson in the last presidential primary. Unfortunately Fred's age (and the media's love for McCain) proved to be a big factor in that primary. I've learned my lesson...I think.

Real Simple. Allen West/Sarah Palin or Sarah Palin/Allen West.

Sarah Palin will never be anybody's VP nominee again.

I think a DeMint/Rubio ticket would be formidable.

“My prediction...Perry/Palin”

Hopefully you’re not talking about my governor. Anyway, there are enough of us Texans to keep Al Gore’s 1988 Texas Presidential Campaign Manager off of the ticket.

No way Perry beats Palin in the primary. Zero chance.

Not to mention, I want Palin for President. She's the only elected Statewide Executive administator to have gone after, prosecuted, convicted and jailed those of her predecessors whom she knew to have acted criminally.

She's the toughest, and her politics are exactly my own. She may go with Perry, though, as her VP, if he's interested.

Since you’ve obviously been doing some extremely heavy smoking with primo grass for several days before this incredibly naive and stupid idea erupted from your smoke ringed head, you need to put the ganja down and seek immediate psychological help. This is NEVER going to happen and you my friend have just been relegated to oblivion!

While you've been asleep for the past two years, Sarah Palin has been leading the resistance against this communist onslaught. She has been consistent and unwavering in her speeches and writings in support of conservative values and policies.

Whenever any of these nutless, gutless, unprincipled RINO guys can grow a pair and come out fighting for commonsense conservatism based on the US Constitution and the Republican Party Platform, keep at it day after day for two or more years, take the slings and arrows from the Democrats and establishment Republicans, and still show up to fight the good fight against the communists -- then we might consider letting them in the #2 spot on the next presidential ticket.

Unfortunately, none of your RINO guys have a clue about what is conservative. All they know about is corruption, crony capitalism, treason, etc., etc., much like their Democrat colleagues.

Let them learn from Sarah Palin, a real leader and conservative.

“If Perry runs and the economy is still where it’s at, he’ll win the primaries easily.”

Huh? Perry won’t win anything easily. He couldn’t even get reelcted governor easily.

If Palin runs, she wins. Period. Regardless of what Rick Perry does or does not do.

If Palin does not run well, in that case.....who cares? It will be Ford McDole Romneybush, and the country will be sunk.

Palin won’t be interested in running for vice-president.

at this point for many, it is about who we are against. Cuz our favorites may not make it past IOWA.

So I will likely support whomever is running in 2nd place in NHampshire, behind Mittster. Unless Palin is serious about there. AMES straw poll is in 8 months, talk about that and not about who Gov. Perry’s running mate is going to be!! LOL.

Rick Perry says he isn’t running. I could see a Palin/Perry ticket however.

I could see:

1. Palin/Pawlenty

2. Palin/Perry

3. Palin/Rubio

Palin and someone from a key state. I think Demint is from too tiny a state and being a office holder in DC is likely a liability in 2012. Alaska/SC as a combination is two pretty small states.

There is essentially no statewide office holder from CA or NY. So next in the pecking order are Tx and FL. Rubio is probably too soon to the Senate to take the Veep position and I don’t see anyone else. The FL govenor is quite new too. As for Texas, I could see Perry in the second spot, but I doubt he wins the nomination. I don’t see Cornyn nor Hutchinson as reasonable.

So then it is to the midwest/PA where presidential elections are decided. The OH, MI and PA statewide GOP office holders are again too new to their positions. So I come up with Pawlenty as the most likely.
