I don't know that she "trashed" Perry. Certainly not to the point to where she cannot credibly endorse him later.

My guess is that as long as he doesn't stumble over the next couple of months, that is exactly what will happen.

That's the way I see it and pointed out elsewhere. The media are claiming she "trashed" Perry with her crony capitalism remarks, I hardly think that is true. It might have been a jab, but not something that would prevent her from endorsing him later.

If Perry emerges as the nominee, Governor Palin will enthusiastically support him.

“as long as he (Perry) doesn’t stumble over the next couple of months”

What if Palin decides that Perry’s positions are unacceptable or that there is significant doubt that he’s electable? Those will the basis of her attitude toward Perry.
