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.

I wouldn’t think the Washington Compost would want to run articles about crony capitalism. Too close to home I would say. Sort of like the pot calling the kettle half-black

Palin said, "I detest crony capitalism." Perry's middle name is crony capitalism. Do the math.

She may end up endorsing him if he defeats her for the nomination because she's a good Republican and believes in "anybody but Obama". But Perry fans hoping for a full-throated endorsement like she gave him for governor stand to be disappointed. It'll likely be a polite and perfunctory endorsement like Reagan gave Ford in '76.
