Did she really?
I'm not doubting you, I just had not heard that.

Agreed. IMO, she's in and will announce when it's to her best advantage. Her outside date is the end of Sept which will be here soon.

Link?

A lot of us would like to see that. I don’t recall her saying that at all.

Maybe that’s because McCain isn’t running. She liked him fine, joined his ticket as I remember.

She’s waiting for McQueeg to declare, then?

I just spent some time doing a search for that statement with NO results. Instead I found these comments;

Palin spoke about Perry on both legs of her bus tour. On the first leg in Baltimore, she praised the Texas governor, saying she thought he would make a "fine candidate" and the two "have a lot in common."

Palin added, "I really like him."

The next week she defended Perry and his headline-grabbing attack on the Federal Reserve in which he said that it would be "almost treasonous" for Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to increase the money supply before the 2012 election.

"More power to Rick Perry for calling it like he saw it," Palin said on Fox News last week. "And you know, he used some of that rascal type of rhetoric that he uses there in Texas and evidently the president took some issue to that".

Unlike other political friendships, their relationship actually dates back to before the last election, although Palin did back Perry in his gubernatorial primary last year against Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas. She declared her support in a letter to Texas GOP women, saying her choice stays "true to conservative principles even when others think the party needs to go a different direction. I like that about him: He doesn't care which way the wind blows, he acts on his beliefs."

Palin added in the letter that Perry, "walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks to his guns, and you know how I feel about guns!"

And when she went to Texas to campaign for her "good friend Rick Perry" in the primary, she told the story of how Perry was the last one to wish her well before giving birth to her son, Trig, who she said was "almost born in Texas" because she was at an oil and gas conference hosted by Perry in Dallas when she went into labor.

"I finally handed Rick the mic and I said, 'You know, I think I got to go.' And he said -- he's teasing me as I'm hustling out the door, finding an exit so I can get on an airplane and get home and he says, 'Yeah, I know you're pregnant, but what are you going to do? Go and have your baby now?'

"And I mumbled as I walked out, 'Uh huh.' And I did, that evening," Palin told the crowd before Perry gave Palin a certificate making her an "honorary Texan."

Palin has steadily teased and left the door open to getting into the race, but she has also consistently said that if there was someone else who got in that represented her values and what she would bring to the race she, would not get in.

I took the liberty of pinging those who replied to your comment and might think it true......
