Everyone wants to collect what is going to be short lived.
What is with this Perry push. As a Texan I can yell....NO THANKS!!!!

Perry - Bachmann would be an interesting ticket, but would not be my first choice by a long shot.
If Palin doesn’t run, Perry’s my pick!

Texas Gov. Perry not a 2012 candidate just yet
By PHILIP ELLIOTT and BRIAN BAKST Associated Press © 2011 The Associated Press
June 18, 2011, 10:28AMNEW ORLEANS — A candidate in waiting, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is elbowing the Republicans already in the 2012 presidential race as he courts party activists, operatives and donors still shopping for someone to back against President Barack Obama.
His appearance Saturday at the Republican Leadership Conference could offer another tantalizing hint that he's ready to upend a crowded field of candidates who have worked months to amass name recognition, organization and campaign cash. The longest serving governor of his state is drawing much interest despite little effort.
He long insisted he wouldn't run. But in recent weeks, he has softened his refusals and his advisers have started laying the groundwork for a campaign in Iowa.

There is a straw poll at the end of this confernce of some 2,000 attendees. It will be interesting to see how that comes out.
Perry, Palin, Bachmann, Cain
As I see it these are the choices if Romney is to be denied the Republican nomination. And the two of these with the most experience haven’t announced (yet.)
The rest, Pawlenty, Santorum, Paul, Guiliani, Johnson, have one hell of a hill to climb to get the nomination.
Ironically, Ryan could probably have it just by asking for it.
But we’re still back to Perry, Palin, Bachmann, and Cain and if we don’t sort that out, we’re going to be stuck with Romney. So, how’s it going to go?
Wall Street Journal editorial:
Rick Perry’s First 100 Days.
If he gets into the race, Gov. Perry will be offering the Texas model of economic growth to a nationwide audience.

“he suggested shuttering the federal departments of energy and education
The Lone Star State still has no income tax, and Mr. Perry and his famous predecessor have enacted a series of measures to combat junk lawsuits that have made Texas a magnet for doctors and businesses. No coincidence, Texas is the undisputed national champ when it comes to job creation, with 254,000 jobs created in the last year and more than a third of the country’s new jobs since the end of the recession in 2009.
Mr. Perry said that assuming a GOP victory over President Obama and a Republican takeover of the Senate, the first item of business would be a repeal of ObamaCare “in totality, and a great sigh of relief would be heard across this country.” Next up would be spending cuts, and eliminating the two cabinet departments could be just the beginning. “
Perry/Bachman?
I like Bachmann. I’m still learning about Perry. That “mandatory” HPV vaccine gives me serious pause since real conservatives do NOT impose mandates such as these on families.
If Perry gets in, he WILL be the nominee, and I believe he could kick 0bama’s ass back to Shitcago where he belongs. He’s from the superstate of Texas, his state economy is doing well, he’s well spoken, and he has great hair(sadly that means something).
Rick and Michelle. Not bad.
I think Sarah may not run now that Michelle has thrown her hat in.
Sarah can be stay in PR mode and run
for senate down the road, then the presidency.
She’s doing a good job keeping American informed
in person, because the media/America’s #1 enemies sure won’t.
That’s a pretty brutal collection of comments at the end of the article.
Is that a liberal publication or is Perry just much more unpopular than non-Texans realize?
