Chris Matthews flags a crazy moment at Sarah Palin's rally for incumbent Texas Governor Rick Perry:
SARAH PALIN: And then I started hearing -- up there in Alaska, I started to hear all this news coverage about, Oh, Texas is seceding from the union, the governor...
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
PALIN: And I said -- and I said, I think they got that wrong. Texas today, I don't think they're seceding, they are succeeding.
(APPLAUSE)
The amazing thing is that the crowd gave a much bigger cheer for "seceding" than they did for her punchline of "succeeding."
Watch:
The funny thing is that Sarah Palin's got more experience with secession (specifically her ties to the Alaska Independence Party) than she has with success as a leader (one half-term as Governor and a failed VP campaign?).
