This doesn't sound like one who plans on staying out of the race and endorsing another. Sounds more like "Game On"!
I had my doubts about Perry, the lifetime politician.
Go Herman
Go Michele
Why should anybody endorse yet another pro-amnesty candidate? Rick Perry is pro-amnesty, among a bunch of other pro-RINO actions as Governor of Texas! Remember that super highway with tolls idea of his?
The article is more pro-Palin than anti-anyone.
It’s time she fished or cut bait, simply to avert comments such as posts like yours. We must build up to form a coalition that can beat Obama, not tear down and speculate to make the progressive spoilers stronger.
If, however, we are going to begin to compare the candidates, I would like to see a true comparison
1. that doesn’t mix liabilities and debt (we have a Constitution that requires a balance budget. Occasionally, we have to dip into our “rainy day fund” for Katrina, Rita, Ike, wildfires and other unexpected expenses),
2. that evaluates 10 years properly in context with 2,
3.the equivalent calculation considering population through the years in light of Texas’ originally higher population compounded by growth of 1000 a day from the US,

4. the relative burden of illegals crossing voluntarily and
5. the transport of illegals from all areas of the US to Texas prior to conviction/deportation and/or DOJ/Homeland Security bringing illegals to Texas, dumping cases already in the pipeline and releasing the criminals. Texas has eleven (11) ICE detention facilities where the detainees are often criminals from other States. Alaska has none - 0. California, 6 and Arizona, 5. The Department of Homeland Security and ICE have been dismissing these cases in large numbers over the last 2 years, releasing illegals into our State. Our courts and State bear up under the backlog, with legal costs and law enforcement expenses along with the hospital costs, education costs, dependent child welfare, food stamps, and Medicaid.

Palin - 1
Perry- 0
Palin and McCain interview with Fox
Here's my favorite quote from that interview:
"John McCain and I and everybody I think who was here today rooting for John McCain, we're all part of that tea party movement that is part of that groundswell of Americans rising up and saying, No, big intrusive government growing every day under Obama? We don't like it. We want to take our country back. That's what the tea party movement is all about and that's what John McCain is all about."
Until she gets in the race, she looks like little Ms. slash and burn.
Rick Perry is an excellent Governor, but he is not presidential material.
Sarah, OTOH ...... UNDEFEATED! GAME ON!
That’s quite a ringing edorsement of Rick Perry. I guess tat he’ll decline this one! LOL SO, who says she’s not running again? Bob
Wow this is a flip-flop. A huge flip flop. She so proudly endorsed Perry before it makes me wonder.
FWIW:A friend of mine told me they saw on the Great American Panel on Hannity that there is some GOP committee vetting like process that candidates even thinking about running go through by a certain time frame prior to running and the time is late and Palin has approached no one. This person on the show said Palin isn’t running as this has not happened yet. So if Palin runs it looks like she will go rogue outside of the GOP?
