-- Rick Perry's candidacy has attracted strong initial support from Republicans who identify themselves as supporters of the Tea Party movement. Perry leads by 21 percentage points over the closest contenders among this group, Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann. Among Republicans who say they do not support the Tea Party movement, Romney and Perry are essentially tied.

Either way - Palin or Perry - it still the inmates taking over the asylum and bodes well for the Obama reelection effort.

A ticket of Palin & Perry would be most interesting although I suspect the grade school kids would have a field day with it.
