For me, Romney’s answer on schools and No Child Left behind was an eye-opener.
Romney is a big government guy who puts no value on states rights. Perry values states rights above all. For many that is not enough.
It’s too bad that Perry isn’t able to articulate that and make his argument, that he made is decisions on what was best for Texas, not what was best from the stand point of the federal government.
For instance on the border fence, Perry should just say that a fence is wrong for Texas because Texas cannot afford to be cut off from the Rio Grande, a valuable source of water, by a fence. Perry assumes that people know that. He asked Santorum if he had ever been to the Texas border, but he didn’t ask him if he say the Rio Grande when he looked at the Texas border.
I will be back later but there is a popular phrase here :FUMR!
