I was wondering why Governor Perry was so busy campaigning in his home state.
(Excerpt) Read more at texastribune.org ...
We may see an actual brokered RNC convention, which may be a good thing.
yea right...after Dewhurst lost to Cruz, Perry decided not to run again. TX governor has no term limits, but Perry knew he would lose a primary so he stepped down. Any thoughts about what TX tea party thinks of a crony capitalist with at least three strikes against him?
Where is native TX Jebbie in this poll? People in TX are still on the Bush bandwagon, but they don’t know why.
Oops, I see, Jebbie though is still a point ahead of another native Texan, Mr. Paul of KY.
And if we combine “undecided” with Jebbie, Jebbie win!
Last brokered convention was 1948; never seems to happen again. Last one with suspense was 1976.
Perry is already well known to Texans, as he tried to sell us out to international interests in the Mexican corrider toll road.
He will not be the man for us.
Ted Cruz Ping! It is shocking to me that Cruz is only getting 20% in Texas. This tells me that most haven’t tuned in yet.
Walker was running neck-and-neck with Cruz in February, when his entry into the race was making daily news, but the Texans’ home-field advantage is showing again. Cruz had the support of 20 percent of registered voters, followed by Perry at 12 percent, Walker at 10 percent, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 8 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 7 percent.
Poll co-director Daron Shaw, a professor of government at the University of Texas at Austin, said the results reflect a “native son effect” in Texas that boosts the performance of candidates who are from here in comparison with their showings in national polls.
“I was just sort of assuming that Texas was a microcosm of national politics, but that turns out not to be the case,” he said.
And although Cruz has the lead, it’s not a commanding one. Three more candidates — author and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee — each were the choice of more than 5 percent of those who said they would vote in the GOP primary. Eight others had the support of 3 percent or less: former business executive Carly Fiorina, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, developer and celebrity Donald Trump, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and former New York Gov. George Pataki. Nearly one in six voters said they have not decided which candidate to support.
IIRC, it was Spain...not Mexico.
Hey - the corridor was from Mexico, not Spain.
Go look at the map. you cannot corridor over the atlantic
Building a toll road to Spain would sure create a lot of construction and engineering jobs. O.o

University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll:
He's decently far ahead... almost double former TX Gov Rick Perry.
The lower numbers are mostly due to the large number of candidates.
TX native Jeb Bush is in fifth, 2 points away from being in 8th.
Huckabee got 5 percent, and eight others got 3 percent or less (Carly, Santorum, Trump, Christie, Jindal, Kasich, Graham, and Pataki).
Among those GOP voters who do NOT self-identify as TEA Party voters (24 percent), it was: Perry 17, Cruz 14, Bush 11, Rubio 8, nobody else over 6.
