In His Mug Shot, Rick Perry Comes Out Smelling Like A Texas Yellow Rose

Leadership: Texas Gov. Rick Perry smiled confidently for his mug shot, as if to signal he would prevail over politicized big government. In fact, that may resonate as a campaign theme for voters weary of the same abuses. Until now, the prevailing "narrative" was that a governor under indictment on two counts of "abuses of power" would be political toast. Because even if the charges were baseless, as these are, the mug shot and the screeching headlines would bring certain opprobrium. It certainly happened that way for now-exonerated House leader Tom DeLay, whose career was ruined by the same tactics that the same Travis County prosecutor's office is using against Perry. But these aren't normal times. Perry's deft use of his own mug shot, positioned with a tight "I've got you right where I want you" smile, is already being heralded as a campaign poster in an age when government itself is the biggest issue.

Thanks for your post!
I too believe that Rick would make the best President since Reagan and might exceed Double R in some respects!

I wish Ted Cruz would come out (strongly) for American jobs.
Not saying he’s against them, but I don’t see him advocating strongly for US jobs.
Ted Cruz, think about this.
He would be completely unbeatable.

Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle...aunt...whatever.

Anybody wanting to lower taxes and regulations on commerce is pro-jobs by default.
