He's not that friendly with Palin...

Yes. Perry is facing a tough 2010 reelection campaign. His strategy seems to be to say a lot of conservative things to appear more conservative than his gubernatorial opponent. Sarah is popular, so Perry says nice things about her. Helps him with Sarah's conservative base.

Former Democrat Perry promotes Perry. Perry endorsed Guiliani back in the primaries. Guiliani is more liberal than Perry's present Republican opponent, Kay Bailey Hutchison. I suspect Perry fancied himself a possible VP running mate for Rudy.
