The longer one serves in politics, the more fodder there is for opponents. Perry has been around a long time in a big state and there is plenty to find disagreement with. There is less fodder with Bachmann, who has resided in the minor leagues of politics but has had to make "national" votes in her role as congresswoman. Candidates like Palin and Cain are minor leaguers with little national record, and it's much easier to put hopes and dreams into them and harder to pin them down on issues since they don't have much of a record.

Perry's okay. These days, that's not bad.

Palin, minor league?

Sure Perry has all the qualities you mentioned and if he gets in with the "current field" he would have my support.

But Palin, minor league? Please.
