Until she gets in the race, she won’t pick anyone. For the record, RINO is the most overused subjective word on this site.
Perry is a conservative. He’s also not a quitter.
Its not for me to speculate :)
I think you bring up a very good point. The electorate right now will likely gravitate to someone who they see as a mature and safe leader who can sort out this mess we are in versus an “orator” or cable news personality which is sort of where I see Palin and a large portion of the GOP field at the moment.
The primary weakness of Obama (besides being a socialist) is that he flat out isn’t a leader. He doesn’t have that gene in him. I wasn’t very high on Perry when he announced a month ago, but have gradually started to view him as a safe pick due to the fact he does have some pretty good leadership qualities. Being a Governor of a very successful State the last ten years carries with it a certain legitimacy very few of these people have.
I am going to watch Perry closely in these three debates over the next two weeks to see if the hype is real. If he performs well, he could seal the deal.

Only filthy RINOs would want her out.
I agree completely about him not being a leader. Kinda makes ya wonder where all of those community organizing “skills” went!
