Miss Cleo Says... (Now It's Getting Fun Edition)

Texas Governor Rick Perry is starting to think about jumping in.

Sarah Palin is enjoying another bubble of 'will-she-won't-she' type of news. (She purchased a house in Scottsdale, AZ and is launching a bus tour of the east coast next week sometime.)

Bachmann sounds like she's in- has an announcement planned for Waterloo, Iowa next month.

Ditto for Santorum. Only his is going to be from Pennsylvania.

I think Rick Perry's flirtation might die by summer's end if the rest of the field steps up a bit. If it doesn't, it wouldn't surprise me if he does jump in with both feet and go places. The Establishment is itching to crown someone and he might just fit the bill and given the fact that Texas is attracting jobs, people and economic growth (not to mention interesting ideas like a $10,000 college degree plan Governor Perry has) it's hard to argue against Texas these days...

But that said: watching out for the dynamic duo from Minnesota. I really think Bachmann, once she gets going could really pop in Iowa- especially without Huckabee in the race. And Pawlenty still gets mad props from me for calling for an end to ethanol subsidies in downtown Des Moines and then flying to gray, geriatric Florida to tell a bunch of old people that the retirement age for Social Security needs to be raised. He's buddied up a little too much to Paul Ryan in recent days, but it was still an impressive start in my book...

Things are going to get nuts over the next month, kids. Watch out.
