John Fund's column is excellent and well-reasoned, in my opinion. And it confirms what I have observed since I heard Erick Erickson (RedState.com editor) said on WSB750 a couple of months ago. Erickson said at the time that Sarah Palin was quietly but strongly urging Rick Perry to enter the GOP race.

As background, Erickson said that Palin and Perry had become good friends and political allies while governors of major energy-producing states. Erickson said that Palin is a very smart person who believes that at this time, Rick Perry is the strongest GOP alternative to Mitt Romney and the strongest candidate overall to defeat Barack Obama.

Fund and Erickson might be wrong, but I think they are right. Time will tell. I am one of those Sarah Palin fans who believes she is best suited as a king-maker for 2012, and that she has a bright future in the next GOP Administration and perhaps beyond. Many people have very big roles to play...

I agree. A lot of people don't realize how screwed up Obummer has made the country. It is going to take all hands on deck to bail us out. That includes having extremely sharp people like Palin in cabinet positions.
