Palin isn’t running. She isn’t running because she knows what will be done to her and she doesn’t want the job.
If she did, she would have run.

But it would be interesting to see what her reaction would be if Perry offered her the VP slot again. I think she’d take it, and I think Perry/Palin would be a winning combination.
Both represent the small-government attitude that is running high in the country now. Perry is pro-business and Palin is the antithesis of crony capitalism. We need the pro-business attitude, but it needs to be tempered by a healthy suspicion of crony capitalism. This combo could do it, in my opinion.
As to what will be done to Palin, it’s already been done, and she stood it well, as compared to, say, Herman Cain, whom I also had hopes for initially. I think Palin has been biding her time, waiting to see how it all shakes out. I’d be real curious to know what she really thinks of Gingrich, but suspect that her opinion wouldn’t be all that favorable.
But the real question is, what would the reaction be in Iowa to Perry’s campaign if he announced now that he was picking Palin as his VP? No effect? I doubt that very much, but could be wrong...
