I have stated on several threads why I do not think Palin will not run. That reason is I listen to Dan Patrick on KSEV in Houston. He is a state senator here in Texas...and hopefully will be our next US Senator. He is friends with Perry and has discussed this issue more than once. He spoke about the friendship between Palin and Perry and that the Perry would not announce "yes" until he was sure Palin was a "no."
I also know someone very close to the governor who is in state politics who has said Palin has asured Gov. Perry she is out.
So...do I know what Palin WILL do? No. But I have a good idea based on some pretty reliable witnesses.
And I know what primaries are about...and primaries are ALSO about not beating up the candidates...mis-representing the issues to the extreme (and this issue is a classic example...being a democrat is another) to the point that they come out of the primary SO DAMAGED they can't beat the incumbant.
Why? Because you will look like a darn idiot sitting here trashing Perry for 6 months only to turn around and have to be a cheerleader to get Abaddon out of office.
"Perry is a DEMOCRAT! Perry is NOT a conservative. Perry is a RINO! Perry is NO BETTER THAN OBAMA!"
Perry wins the GOP Nomination....
"Ooops. Nevermind. Vote for Perry!
Yeah...You look like a fool.
btw Perry is not a conservative and he is a RINO. And making a fool of yourself on these pages cannot change that. Bye.
and that the Perry would not announce “yes” until he was sure Palin was a “no.”

1) WHY did Palin specifically remind the press, a few days ago, that Perry had said he wouldn’t run?
2) Palin knows, a LOT of people support her, and are spending a LOT of time organizing in every state for her.
do you really BELIEVE, that if she had already decided “NO”,
that she would let them keep wasting their time ?!?
3) we shouldn’t criticise Perry, because it will hurt him?
...we shouldn’t breathe a word of any legitimate concerns about Perry, because if we are VERY quiet, the MSM will ignore it also ?!?
we SHOULD vett our candidates!
if they can’t take it here, they certainly can’t take it in the general campaign.
and the MSM will exaggerate and outright LIE about Gardasil, etc.
...again, if Perry can’t take it here, then he won’t beat BHO at all, let alone by “15 points”.
What makes you think Perry knows Palins mind? Didn't I just read on FR that he tweeted "I hope Palin makes the right decision"? Doesn't sound to me as if he has a clue.
