Palin threw cold water on the members of the mainstream media and the Republican and conservative establishments .....’who erroneously and ignorantly assumed she was going to endorse Texas Gov. Rick Perry.’...... While Palin directly attacked Obama by name, she cleverly and implictly attacked Perry, who has been accused by his critics of being a crony capitalist who engaged in “pay for play” politics.

re: ‘While Palin directly attacked Obama by name, she cleverly and implictly attacked Perry’,
Thus letting the talking heads do the name-calling and vetting of her opponents. ;-)
