Which GOP Candidate would get your Vote.

[crazy canuck]

Three term Texas governor. Very Christian, Very Conservative, Tax Cutter, Deficit Raiser, Called for the state to pray for rain during drought and held 30,000 man meeting to pray for texas when he admitted he didn't have any policies to fix anything. Has Pat Robertson's social policy, Tea Party economic policy and "Jesus is Lord" religious policy.

I knew Texas had a lot of nutters be didnt realize it was that bad.

Eh it is how things go when you are in a one party state.  He only became Governor because he was George W Bush's Lt. Governor when Dubya left the office to become President.  Since then the Republicans are not going to unseat a sitting Governor and Texas will always vote Republican so therefore...

He has never been seriously challenged and yet he still only won in 2006 with 39% of the vote.

Between his attitude and the Euros/dirty foreigners disliking him, I'd stuff the ballot box for him.

Perry is now the frontrunner.

POLL: Rick Perry Jumps To Double-Digit Lead Over Romney And Bachmann

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, the newest entrant in the 2012 Republican presidential race, has a double-digit lead over Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports.

According to the telephone survey, Perry has the support of 29% of likely Republican primary voters. Romney, who has heretofore been viewed as the frontrunner, earned 18%, while Bachmann picked up 13% .

Perhaps more significantly, Perry captured 39% of the vote among members of the Tea Party, with Bachmann coming in a distant second with 21% support. The numbers indicate that Perry is already starting to chip away at Bachmann's social conservative base — Tea Party support split almost evenly between Bachmann and in a  Rasmussen poll conducted just two weeks ago.

The numbers are a major boost for Perry's nascent presidential campaign, which officially kicked off just four days ago.

"Governor Perry is enjoying a bounce from entering the race at precisely the right time," Scott Rasmussen said in a statement.  "Now the difficult part begins for the new frontrunner.  It's much easier winning support when people are hoping you will get in the race, than retaining support when you are the frontrunner."

Perry! Perry! Perry!

Perry is now the frontrunner.

Fortunately, it's still early on. Check out these poll results from 2007. Rudy was in first place, Fred Thompson was neck and neck with John McCain, Huckabee was in fifth:

Meh - Alberta is a one-party province (and for a lot longer than Texas - we've had uninterrupted government by Social Credit, then Progressive Conservatives, since the early 1930s), and we just unseated our most recent dud of a Premier.

Texas has been a one party state since Reconstruction ended.  We just flopped parties but really the new Republicans are exactly the same (and in some cases they are the same people) as the old Democrats.

I've always liked Rudi but I don't think he has an ice cube's chance in today's climate.

I haven't always liked Rudi.

Another one well played.  Languish is cooking today.

I'm just enjoying Viking's fits over him. A vote for Perry is a vote to troll Viking and his ilk for 4 years.
