Do you have a link for this?
I don't want to take the time to dig up a link. I do recall very clearly seeing Palin answer a question about Perry on some interview, where she said she was surprised when Perry got into the race because he had formerly been so adamant that he had no intention of running -- then Palin immediately followed it up by saying that she didn't have a problem with Perry doing that, just that it surprised her. She is a class act and very, VERY cool. I'll bet she's a terror at the poker table. That woman knows how to keep a cool head, and THAT is what America needs in the White House.
“I was quite sure that he wasn’t going to run, because he was adamant until about four months ago that he wasn’t going to run,” she said. But she was quick to add that Perry’s change of heart was fine. “I was surprised that he had changed his position on that, but I’m glad that he’s going to be in there.”
A reporter asked whether, if Obama had committed that sort of flip-flop, she would be more critical, she laughed. “I probably would, to tell you the truth,” she said…
Even with Perry in the race, she said, “I see room in the field. Definitely.”
“If at the end of the line he’s the one left standing, I would be extremely enthused about him because I’m a believer in ABO – anybody but Obama. So, absolutely. But there’s still a long time in this process,” Palin said, adding that Perry’s entry doesn’t affect her decision making.
