Perry has actually had to take positions and lead. Palin was only in office for two years and then she QUIT and now has the luxury of pointing fingers at others. She makes safe speeches and she's not about to get down in the trenches and run the same risks as the others. IF she does get in, she will have to answer the same tough kinds of questions the others do.
Wait until she becomes the front runner and wait until she has Obama and the Democrat machine gunning for her. It will make her problems in AK seem like a Sunday School picnic. Will she quit again?
