Who will she enventually throw her weight behind you think? After trashing Perry in the meantime.
My guess is that as long as he doesn't stumble over the next couple of months, that is exactly what will happen.
Palin has never "trashed" Perry. You must be confusing her with me (although that's not easy to do). But, I'll take credit for that.
Palin’s own candidacy depends on Perry’s popularity. If Perry remains popular and grows, Palin will not risk getting in and divide Tea Party votes. So, when she is forced to pick someone (against Obama), she will probably side with Perry. Romney is not going to win the nomination, so picking Perry is the obvious choice for Palin.
However, if Perry’s popularity stagnates at all, I expect Palin to jump in and sweep everybody away. I think she is viable as a potential candidate until late fall of 2011... possibly November even.
Perhaps Sarah Palin should support the candidate that rushed out to defend her when the evil libtards and the media blamed her for the AZ shootings.
It is highly debatable whether or not she has trashed Rick Perry.
A few Palin supporters would like to THINK she was referring to Rick Perry with some of her Labor Day comments about the federal government and cronyism, but it would have to be a far stretch to transfer descriptions of Obama's Chicago cronyism in D.C. to Rick Perry... that is unless one simple did that in one's mind to try to make it appear so.
