The Perry buzz is all astroturf from his Texas pals.
And this article is just the latest in a long line of transparent "Palin isn't running, so start sending my guy money!" screeds.
The big money ain't buying it.
I just PRAY that Sarah runs!
Perry was in real trouble for reelection just last year when he begged Palin to come in and campaign for him. He squeaked through the primary with just over 50% against two very weak candidates, Hutchison and a Paulbot truther.
He got less than 55% of the vote in the general against Bill White, a lousy Dem candidate, in deep red Texas,in a huge GOP year, winning by only 12. Even though it was a huge GOP year. By comparison, Marco Rubio, running in purple Florida, against a former Governor and a Dem Congressman, won by 20 and got nearly 50% of the vote.
In 2006, a big Dem year, Palin won a three way primary with 51%, trouncing a sitting Governor by 32%. She won a three way race in the general with nearly 50% as well, trouncing a former Governor.
Perry barely won reelection in 2006 with only 39% of the vote. Perry=less there than meets the eye.
He is a joke of a candidate. His polls are as impressive to any discerning observer as were Rudy Giuliani’s in 2007-8.
Palin will squash him like a Texas beetle. I can’t wait until she debates this genius.
