LOL, Ask your Senator who put him in office. Ted Cruz credits Palin with his shocking win over Dewhurst.
Perry endorsed Dewhurst who was the automatic winner of course, at least, until he lost to Palin's candidate.
Palin also gave us our only Senate pick up, with Deb Fischer over Senator Bob Kerry in Nebraska.
"Poll: Rick Perry’s endorsement is a net minus for Dewhurst, Palin’s is a plus for Cruz"
"Texas' Biggest Loser In GOP Senate Race? For Rick Perry, The (Tea) Party's Over"
From Akins to Dewhurst, and Pete Hegseth, Perry met with no success in Senate endorsements, in fact, he met with terrible and damaging embarrassment.
...because Texas conservatives see Perry, Dewhurst and their ilk as the statist frauds they are. Palin merely helped make it official by endorsing Cruz.
