My first choice is from Texas, but it’s not Perry. Having said that, you are right - I could feel pretty good about backing him - something I never did with Mitt and really really never did with McCain (except the first couple of days Palin hit the scene).
So far: Walker, Cruz and Perry are my three acceptables.
We have three other decent potential candidates, I hope we don't divide our votes when the time comes; we need one of them to step forward to unite the conservative vote, while Jeb/Christie/Romney/Ryan split the rest (I can dream, but first the mid terms).
