#1 I'm pulling for Perry. That many Texans can't be wrong. Besides, neither the foreign out-sourcing of the economy or the presidency appear to work very well.

#3 Opposition campaign points: 1) Texas created jobs, but Perry wasn't the reason; 2) And there were not enough jobs created - Texas unemployment is still 8%; 3) The jobs that were created are 'bad' jobs, with low pay and benefits (not at all like DC & NY & CA government jobs.)

#4 To sophisticated for them Glen. They'll just cry the "Bush 2.0" cry all the way to the Whitehouse.

#6 What R can run for the presidency without getting dumped on by the other side? Hell, I'd be worried if they didn't.

Perry is the real deal.

#7 Perry is the longest continuously serving current U.S. governor. Texans like him. His speech in SC was good. Former AF pilot. Conservative values. A lot to like about him. He will be demonized by the left but then what's new--any R would? It's in the Alinsky playbook.
