According to Sarah, Rick Perry told her he was not going to run. If there ever was an "understanding" between them, I would think the fact that Rick broke his word would nullify the whole deal.

Two more things about this Perry run most voters nationwide are not really aware of
1. The whole time Rick Perry was running for Governor, throughout the primary and general elections, he was strongly denying that he would run for president in 2012.
2. Rick Perry is running for president from the safety of his present office. He has not resigned to make this run, he gives up nothing to make this run. He remains governor through 2014 if he does not win. (not that this relatively recent political development seems to bother the press, or voters anymore)
