Personally, I think Palin and Perry have been in contact with each other. I predict one or the other will run, but NOT both, and when one runs, the other will endorse.

Sidenote: In 2010, Former President George H.W. Bush, along with Dick Cheney and several other members of the former Bush administration endorsed and supported Senator Hutchinson in her bid to defeat Perry, Karl Rove actively worked on her staff. Former Governor Palin, in direct opposition to Rove and other Bush supporters, got involved and supported Perry.

Gardasil Perry. Bad judgment.
Has not dealt with the RINOship issues. No sale.

"The vaccine, Gardasil, is manufactured by Merck,
which was represented in Austin by the lobbyist Mike Toomey,
who was chief of staff for Mr. Perry from 2002 to 2004. "

2007
On 2/7/07, the WSJ reported that Merck was desperate for cash.
With estimates that the settlements Merck will owe for its Vioxx litigation
will amount to approximately $970 million, and the expiration of some of its patents,
Merck faces a huge cash flow problem.
But if Gardasil is mandated, Merck will generate sales of approximately
$1 billion in the first year alone, with 5 year revenue projections of up to $4 billion"

2007
In 2007, when Texas governor Rick Perry issued
an executive order that all girls entering the 6th grade
would receive Gardasil, parents were furious.
Some argued that the vaccine would promote promiscuity.
The order was eventually overturned."

" Critics rip Perry's vaccine mandate
Governor rejects opponents' calls to reverse order
AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry stood firm Monday against a political firestorm generated by his
order that sixth-grade girls be inoculated against a sexually transmitted virus linked to cervical cancer.
Social conservatives from Texas to Washington called on Perry to reverse his order making
Texas the first state to require the vaccine, saying the mandate makes sex seem permissible
and that parents should be the ones to decide whether to immunize their daughters.
And several Texas lawmakers expressed outrage at Perry for circumventing the legislative process. "

"RP65 - Relating to the immunization of young women
from the cancer-causing Human Papillomavirus.
Friday, February 02, 2007 o Executive Order
BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF TEXAS
Rules.The Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner
shall adopt rules that mandate the age appropriate vaccination
of all female children for HPV prior to admission to the sixth grade."

The definition of mandate is a command by a person,
group, or organization (the 'mandator') to another
(the 'mandatary') to act in a particular way, or here
to ingest, inject, imbed a poison or other substance
they do not want and for which informed consent was
never taken.

BACKGROUND
There are over 40 Types of HPV, and 15 of them
have been linked to cervical cancer and/or genital warts.
Gardasil has been developed to vaccinate
against the 4 Types that have the highest
correlation with cancer and genital warts.
However, unlike the smallpox vaccine, for example,
Gardasil does not grant full immunity to those 4 Types of HPV.
Gardasil offers no protection against the other
11 strains of HPV that have been linked to cervical cancer. "

2009
Merck and the Gardasil Vaccine Show Us the Money
First there was the news that Gardasil sales had dropped by 16% in 2008.
As CNBC’s Mike Huckman bluntly put it,
“From the third quarter of last year to the fourth quarter
Gardasil sales fell off a cliff… Merck officials said part of the Gardasil problem
is that so many 11-18 year-old females have already been
inoculated that they're running out of new customers.
And the 19-26 year-old population continues to be a marketing challenge.”"

2010
The main problem with Gardasil seems to be the equivalent of a design flaw.
To be completely immunized, women have
to get a series of three shots over six months.
Many women don't.
The Centers for Disease Control reported in late
August that while 44% of teenagers received the HPV vaccine in 2009,
only 27% of them received all three doses of the shot.
Unfortunately, there isn't evidence to support
that getting only one shot effectively protects against cancer. "

2011
CDC: "As of June 22, 2011, approximately 35 million doses of Gardasil®
were distributed in the U.S. and VAERS received a total
of 18,727 reports of adverse events

As of June 22, 2011 there have been a total 68 VAERS reports
of death among those who have received Gardasil®."

"Foaming at the mouth, shock, seizures, paralysis,
coma-even death have been reported
as a result of taking the vaccine Gardasil from Merck ... "

"Gardasil Causes 400 Percent More Deaths than Other Common Vaccine
A federal report has concluded that the human papillomavirus (HPV)
vaccine Gardasil has a 400 percent higher rate of adverse effects
than another comparable vaccine, the Menactra anti-meningitis shot. "

Yes, it’s Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

And so it begins!

My prediction going way back. Perry/Palin 2012

Or as you predict I predict one or the other will run, but NOT both, and when one runs, the other will endorse.

I'm not 100% behind Perry, but enough to vote for him over the current field. ...so hard to find a perfect candidate.

Rove is a two-faced, double-dealing, backstabbing, manipulative, disingenuous political hack.

The Rove connection

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/06/us/politics/06perry.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1

The relationship between the camps includes a rich mix of political differences, class distinctions, loyalty questions and perceived slights of campaigns past. And it is a uniquely Texas story, opening in the Western dust bowl where both emerged — Mr. Perry as a conservative Democratic state lawmaker from a modest farming family and Mr. Bush as a failed Republican Congressional candidate of famous New England stock.

In 1989, Mr. Rove, already a powerful Texas political consultant, helped persuade Mr. Perry to join the Republican Party and run for agriculture commissioner.

Mr. Rove was heavily invested in Mr. Perry’s victory as lieutenant governor in 1998, and helped recruit Mr. Carney to run Mr. Perry’s campaign while he ran Mr. Bush’s. The tensions first spilled out publicly in 2007, when a video wound up on YouTube capturing Mr. Perry speaking dismissively of Mr. Bush at a Republican house party in Iowa for former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York. In the video, Mr. Perry said, “George Bush was never a fiscal conservative — never was,” adding, “I mean, ’95, ’97, ’99, George Bush was spending money.”

“Hutchison is one of the nation’s most powerful female Republican politicians, yet Palin chose Perry’s conservatism over Hutchison’s status as a potential Mama Grizzly.”

Hutchison’s status as a potential Mama Grizzly.”

Article lost me right there. Kay Bailey Hutchinson as a principaled conservative. Yeah. Right. Sure.

I keep reading these Perry articles in the hopes that I can find him to be a very conservative politicians. Palin’s endorsement carries weight with me, so I want to see if she endorsed him because he was a true conservative, or just the lesser of evils.

If Perry is a conservative in the Hutchinson mold, I don’t want anything to do with him. Why can’t we find out if this guy is actually conservative or not?
