I wonder why Perry isn’t running? I guess he was believed when he said no?
I assume that by “running” you refer to the Presidential election.
As a Texan, I would hope that he’s not running because he is politically astute enough to realize how much negative baggage he carries.
Perry looks good, sounds good, and speaks well. He is also not to be trusted, at all.
He keeps winning because his opposition is even worse than he is.

Because he’s crappy. We have HUGE majorities in the state House and Senate, but he REFUSES to join the fight necessary to actually change the rules a bit (which is VERY easy) to allow real laws to get passed. Sure, he’s allowed a few (like Voter ID, which is good), but there is MUCH MORE that could be done...but isn’t, because the State Senate, for example, needs 21 votes (out of 30) to advance a bill, but the Republicans only have 19 votes. All it would have a taken was a rule change at the beginning of the term, but he WOULD NOT press for it.
He sucks, and is about to let a HUGE Republican majority virtually go to waste here.
