If you live in Texas, you undoubtedly realize that we have a legislature, courts, a Lt. Governor with more power in many ways than the Governor, and mandates from the federal government. There are many things I would like changed in Texas, but I also realize that Perry can’t do much without the cooperation of people who don’t “report” to him - Joe Straus (Rino extraordinaire), for example.
I could be reasonably happy with anyone but Mittens or Huntsman. Does it really make sense to villify other candidates because they are considered insufficiently “perfect”, often for reasons that are shallow or bogus - but sometimes merited.
I started out Liking Bachmann, but I think she is finished. I would have suppoorted Palin, but she isn’t running. I’d be very happy with Cain, but he may lack the political discipline to go the distance (I hope he figures out that he has to think harder about how and what he says). If Cain fades (and I hope he doesn’t), Perry would be a far better President than Obamalini or Mittens, and probably a better President than Governor, in part because of his views on federalism.
People on FR ought to save the vitriol for Obamalini and Mittens.

Michelle is a hero to me and a true conservative. She is getting the same support numbers as Perry. Why should she be finished and he is not. They both are pretty much done. I would be happy to see Perry get out of his pathetic campaign. One of the biggest amature runs in history. Some say but he has been running campaigns for years.....huh? Impossible. The reason he wins is because he has VERY weak opponents. KBH was not a strong candidate at all.
