She knows that Perry has always been a strong and vocal supporter of The Tea Party and practices what the Tea Party preaches !
How early do they name VP picks, anyway? I can’t remember how common it is for a candidate to go ahead and name someone this early. It would be Perry’s only hope, at this point, most likely, and maybe Rick S, too. Maybe THAT’S how this 3-way thing should be settled... “Show us who your VP pick is and then we’ll get behind you.”
