Texas Governor and Republican candidate Rick Perry has had a rough time in recent debates which has led to a drop in the polls and in popularity. In order to save his campaign, Perry is teaming up with Sarah Palin who has agreed help Perry make a come back. Sarah Palin's endorsements would give Perry more street cred (Commanding a level of respect in an urban environment due to experience in or knowledge of issues affecting those environments) among tea party constituents, generate large crowds and fill his campaign coffers till overflowing. In return for her help, Perry must be willing to meet Palin's demands. Palin believes this will give her new found relevance - more photo ops, more speeches, more television interviews and more chances to flex her muscles - since she's not in the race herself. Perry's Texas charm coupled with Palin's rock-star status would get everyone talking about the Texan as a viable candidate again. With front-runner Herman Cain sidetracked by the recent revelation of sexual harassment allegations leveled at him while he ran the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, the timing for a Perry-Palin alliance could not be better.
