No, Perry. Unlike Bachmann, he's a governor, and he attracts the right wing base. Bachmann's already fizzling. And Obama's dead IMO if the economy continues to worsen. So...

Fuck dude he is a TEXAS GOVERNOR.  A figurehead.  And he sucks as a figurehead.  What the fuck is wrong with people?  I swear it is general knowledge the Texas governor has little power but it seems like nobody cares about that simple fact.

Nobody cared in 2000, why should anyone care now?

Well as I said at least Bush was a really good Texas Governor.  I thought maybe surrounded by his dad's peeps he would make a good figurehead president.

But really if who the Republicans want to be President are worthless people, they could do worse than continually nominate Texas Governors.

At least the Democrats were not that idiotic when most of the Texas Governors were Dems.

What we really need to do is make the Texas Governor do more governing if it going to be new vetting office for Presidents.  I will tell my state rep to get on that.

I didn't know that.

Did you know magistrates are appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the legislature in South Carolina?  That's a simple fact too, but you probably didn't know it.  Other than that you have a governor, I know little about the gubernatorial office of Texas.

It's hard to convey an atmosphere, a context, a vibe, a feeling in words. De plus, en anglais, faut pas trop m'en demander Elvis.

As others pointed out, so what? It didn't stop how people viewed Bush... and I don't think you would claim Perry hasn't gotten a lot of legislation he wanted passed, no?

Frankly, I'll be VERY disappointed if the GOP takes Perry as it's candidate.  :yuk:
I'm not feeling it, he reminds me of Fred Thompson, with a little more energy.

But I'm not feeling Romney is going to happen??  The party seems in an uber-right mood.

Go Huntsman! (not going to happen...but I can dream)

If not Perry or Romney, then who would it be? Bachmann is too busy embarrassing herself. Ron Paul is a pretty effective primary campaigner, but he can't break through the barrier into the broader party. The whole GOP seems to be pissed at Gingrich. Nobody else has polled significant enough numbers. It would have to be a late entry, but I don't think that's going to happen. The choices available are what we'll see, IMO.

If Caribou Barbie tossed her furry hat with ear flaps into the ring she'd be an instant contender.
