Why is she running against this incumbent governor of the same party?

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has endorsed Rick Perry for re-election...

Are there no term limits in Texas or something?

A major slap at Kay Bailey.

I imagine that Palin’s governor ties with Perry have a lot to do with this, plus Perry and Palin are in the RGA leadership together.

That’s certainly not going to help her in Texas.

Do you remember the hot mic incident last summer when noonan and folks at msnbc outed Hutchison as not supporting the Palin pick as VP?

Payback.

Yea, kay bailey is a skank.
She is the worst republican senator from TX in a long time.
Today she described daschle as a “friend” of her’s.
Enough said.

Sarah don’t have a horse in this race and isn’t too familiar with Texas Gov. Goodhair. Here in the Lone Star state, we spell “Perry” R-I-N-O.

‘Nuff said.

There is still quite a bit that is not know about Governor Palin’s positions on the issues. And this endorsement of Perry is curious. Why so soon?

Don't have much of a handle but I'm certainly not underestimating Hutchison. She's a proven vote-getter in this state. In 2000, she was on the ballot with Bush and got 300,000 more votes than he did.

Dems can cross over in the primary so I'm guessing that Hutchison has an edge. If Bill White were running on the Dem side against Hutchison in the general, that would be a titanic struggle because a lot of conservatives might sit it out. However, White says he's gonna run for the Senate.

Perry saw what Palin did for Chambliss in Georgia, and he wants some of that Palin Effect in his campaign. I’m betting that she will get a substantial number of requests for endorsements between now and 2010, and from 2010 to 2012. If her PAC is well funded, she can pick up a lot of political IOU’s, giving endorsements, donating to campaigns, mobilizing volunteers, and maybe even campaigning in 2010.

Must be a ‘you scratch my back, I’ll shave yours’ kinda of agreement, especially after Perry’s hissy histrionics at the Governor’s Meeting not long ago. Of course, not sure I like the lesser of two evils approach with this. Neither Perry nor Kay Bailey are even close to the level of conservatism Palin is. IIRC, Kay was quite evasive when it came to commenting positively on Sarah.

Not a fan of Perry. But KBH is much worse. Anbd if I recall, wasn’t too supportive of Sarah as a VP pick. Makes sense this is how Palin will come down.

Anyone have a link to the poll mentioned above that Hutch was WAY ahead in an early primary matchup? I had not heard that.
