...Palin's nod is indeed an asset for Perry, helping him cement his appeal to social conservatives in the Lone Star State. But his boast also may be intended as a dig at his Republican opponent, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison -- who herself was a potential 2008 veep choice before Palin got the job. Hutchison is said by some to still be miffed at having been eclipsed by a female governor with much less experience.....
I’m sure Kay is still hoping for her Obama and Strayhorn endorsements..
Not sure that is the case, but most of us don’t like her. I like Palin much better and made me actually excited about that ticket. Which I’m sure was the reason McCain tapped her. Well, not just because of me, but you get the idea. HAHAHA.
Kay is a rino who would side with kennedy at the drop of a hat... she needs to be retired like yesterday.

KBH doesn’t stand a chance, especially since she opened up lawsuits over the fence. Gov. Good-hair isn’t the greatest but if it came down to those two, he’d get my vote.
Why is she wanting to run? Because she’s looking at a WH run soon.
Yep.........though Perry is no prize, I’d vote for him over Kay.......she can’t be trusted. Her “moderate’ (code name for liberal) does tend to show itself from time to time.
If anyone has a lead to how much she’s getting from trial lawyers, let me know. They’ve got to be fit to be tied with Perry.
“Less Political experience” is Good !
Americans are looking for Citizens who cannot be bought and are Currently not Owned by lobbyists or Special interest.
10 year Congressmen need not apply, Stimulus non readers are not welcome, must know the history of recessions and how Tax decreases help increase Tax revenues.
Applicants with Zero experience in reading from Teleprompter are welcome.
Members of NRA and former Military Service experience will be given priority consideration.
Maybe because she’s an old woman with two very young children to raise and the perks and schedule are better for governors, and cost of living is better in TX.
Why does Kay want to leave DC and the Senate to be gov?
It has been talked about for a few years now. She has indicated she wanted to come back home and raise her two children in Texas. She was talking about running against Perry in 06 but was talked out of it or so the story goes.
Both Perry and KBH have been involved in Texas politics for a lot of their life.

She is far too easily molded by corrupt jerks like mcstupid and company.

Why then, was mcstupid and company ganging up against her for not being a “team” player?
Kay, Sarah has more executive branch experience than you and the Big O combined.
All it takes is to sidestep the rino contengent once and you are attacked... I have a file on her statements and her votes... she is nothing but an out of her league and in waters over her head... rino.
