Even aside from the “Texas Democrat” context, to dismiss Perry simply because he was a Democrat and ignore his subsequent 10 year record as Governor shows a very shallow approach to vetting a candidate. However, if he did not have the 10 year record, then yes, the fact that he was a Democrat might have some bearing.

Even aside from the “Texas Democrat” context, to dismiss support Perry simply when because he was a Democrat and ignore his subsequent 10 year record as Governor shows a very shallow approach to vetting a candidate. However, If he did not have the 10 year record of kissing the establishment's butt, then yes, the fact that he was a Democrat might have some bearing. be a minor issue instead of further proof this guy can't be trusted and is the Texas version of Mitt Romney.
