Sarah Palin’s star power has not diminished because today it was revealed that Sarah Palin has formally endorsed Texas Governor Rick Perry in his bid for re-election. Perry is being challenged in the Republican primary by Kay Hutchison. It seems that Sarah Palin’s endorsement is something that many Republicans have realized is worth its weight in gold. It is going to be interesting to watch and see whom Sarah Palin will endorse in both the Republican primaries and the general election in 2010. Sarah is obviously building up political alliances for 2012 and we will see if in the end it will pay off. It is interesting to note that Newt Gingrich has already commented that Sarah Palin is already the frontrunner for 2012 and is also far ahead of any other GOP challenger in terms of name recognition, the backing of and the popularity with the GOP base, the ability to run a grassroots campaign, and she will most likely have little trouble in raising campaign funds due to her popularity with the GOP base and even many independent voters. When is the last time that the base was this jazzed up for a Republican political figure? How about not since Reagan left office in 1988.
