the article stated that Gov. Perry got a call from Pres. Bush where he was very much encouraged to go ahead and run for Pres.!

Just to keep the record straight, Perry called Bush to wish him a Happy Birthday and asked Bush's advice on him running.

he would have defended her but the guy was being governor.

So being a governor prevents him from doing what is right? Gotcha.

I’m still convinced Sarah’s waiting to see how Rick vets under pressure from all sides.

That makes a great deal of sense to me. I don't believe she really wants to run, but will if she thinks that it's necessary in order to defeat Obama. If Perry blows up, she'll announce, if he doesn't, she'll endorse.

It creates a bit of a paradox for me, because I want them both as a team and a ticket.

I’m beginning to think that Palin is hoping to be a VP candidate, again. She would be unbeatable as a presidential candidate after serving as VP.

She would be unbeatable as a presidential candidate after serving as VP.

Agreed, with eight years of experience and still relatively young!
