Rick needs the Establishment's money and the common man's vote. A really tough row to hoe.
Mark Levin: "Why would Perry hire this conservative-attacker and Palin-hater?"

...Indeed.
It doesn�t make sense for Perry to pal around with establishment thugs whose claims to fame lately have been trashing conservatives who are popular with the grassroots and�using liberal tactics to do it.� Texans love Governor Palin, especially Texas Republicans just as Mississippi Republicans loved (and voted for) Chris McDaniel.
Governor Palin recently came to Governor Perry�s defense over this indictment and she also endorsed his run for re-election in 2010.
In her defense of Perry recently though she did say (with her usual prescience):
Rick won�t have to worry about the Republican establishment piling on, either. He�s more ingratiated with the political machine than someone considered still an unknown who�d go rogue on GOP kingmakers when they acted unethically, so he�s fortunate to only face a firing squad from one side.
