Indeed, Republican governors tell me that while Palin and Perry attended meetings as fellow governors from 2007 to 2009, they clearly bonded.

Since Paul Harvey is no longer with us, I guess I'll have to add "the rest of the story".

At that last Republican governors' conference in 2009 Palin was the featured guest and attendees and media had been promised an extended question and answer session (~15 minutes) with Palin. However, after only about 4 minutes Rick Perry stepped in and shut down the session. It was rudely done and video of the scene shows Palin was obviously annoyed, as were the waiting questioners.

When you connect the dots it's evident that Perry has mostly used Palin for his own benefit, while his reciprocation has been almost non-existent.

Paul Harvey always told the truth. You're post is missing some. The RGA event in question was on Nov. 13, 2008, not '09. On the week of Feb 4th, 2009, Palin sent a letter out to Texas voters proclaiming her support and boosting Perry's credentials.

"He walks the walk of a true conservative," Palin writes. "And he sticks by his guns -- and you know how I feel about guns."

This is from a The Hill article last month:

In fact, during the midst of her recent bus tour, Palin brought Perry’s name up again, unprompted, telling a group of reporters in Baltimore, “I think he would be a fine candidate. We have a lot in common.”

She added: “I really like him.”

I have yet to find this dislike between the two Gov's that you claim.
