Regardless of the hype, he cannot win. The Dem strategy will be..Another Texas governor? It will re- ignite the anybody but Bush crowd. Completely un-winnable. This is exactly like the Scott hype. Groan.
He would be a weak candidate across the Midwest, just as Bush was. He is easier for Obama to beat than Palin would be. Plus he is only beginning to be vetted There are many more shoes to drop on Rick Perry.
The Texas wild card variable is an issue.
I know lots of folks dont see it, but its there.
I think Perry can overcome it but its a wild card.
It’s sad to think that we would exclude someone based on where he was born when we just elected some asshole based on his color, but there it is.
