(As I've posted before) I'm on the fence about Perry, neither for or against him.

I still consider myself a Palin supporter, without a certainty that she is or isn't running. I just don't know.

I do see lots of enthusiasm from other Palin supporters. I don't sense that level of enthusiasm for Perry (yet) and don't know if it's really important.

One of the reasons I support Palin is her bluntness when speaking of Obama and his policies. I haven't heard that same type of bluntness from Perry consistently (as I'm tired of capitulation), but I will be listening.

Just a guess.....it's possible both Perry and Palin will be candidates by September 1, and given all the dynamics, it might be the best thing to shore up support for an eventual acceptable Conservative nominee.

The ONLY reason I’m not a Palin 2012 supporter is that I don’t think she can overcome the negative image that’s been foisted on her, not yet anyway. I think that’s going to take a lot of time. I’m hoping a Perry presidency will give her the opportunity to demonstrate her competency to her detractors—maybe as Secretary of Energy for a start. I still believe she has a bright political future, but I think if she were to get the Republican nomination this time around and ended up handing Obama a second term, I doubt she could ever overcome that.

Saw this a couple of days ago. I don’t know if it means anything or not, but it is interesting.

Add, as it's late, the link is a page of bios for all the Fox News personalities. Gov. Palin’s name has been omitted. Whether it was ever there, I don't know. But, it is odd that she doesn't appear there.

Oh! Palin isn’t there. OK, now I get it. I really didn’t understand the link at all until you told me. It’s late, my mind is mush.LOL!

Not listing her is interesting.

Palin can not win a presidential election.

Yes, she can.

This may explain the omission on the “on-air personalities” page. She is referred to as a “Fox News Contributor”.

Maybe. But on the same page is the bio of “Fox News Contributor” Michelle Malkin.

Palin can not win a presidential election. The liberal media would destroy her and her family.

Where have you been the last three years?

Well, it is a puzzle of sorts!

I hope it means Fox is beginning to distance itself because Palin is planning to jump in to the race for Pres. A Palin/Perry ticket would be delightful, IMO. So would a Perry/Palin ticket.

Just think, two conservative governors from our two largest energy producing states as a team! That’s a winner!

It's not the endorsement of Perry over his opponents so much but rather what she said about him. Is what she said true or is she blowing smoke?

Palin: He walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks to his guns – and you know how I feel about guns!....

Will you join me in supporting a true conservative for governor – Rick Perry?

Etc. etc.

Sarah isn’t running. Mark my words. If he’s in...she isn’t. I think she settled long ago she wasn’t running. I think she will do just fine firing up the base.

On the ‘positive’ side, the RINO Perry was trained by Al Gore and Karl Rove.
On the negative side, Perry polled BELOW Allahpundit and Krauthammer.

Perry is Pro-Open Borders, Pro-Guest Worker, Pro-NAFTA, Pro-Illegal Alien.

And El Presidente Mexicano Vincente Fox is a big fan!

Rick Perry thanked by Vincente Fox for illegals in-state tuition.

Big difference in endorsing him for Governor (against an even worse RINO) than for President.

Now what could the LSM possibly do to her that it already hasn't?
