If perry is so damn terrible, how did our fellow texans elect him so many times? The guy is not perfect, but the attacks are over the top. This is the guy the establishment folks we all despise were trying to oust while the tea party and conservatives came out to support. I hate FR silly season.

Maybe he was better than his opposing candidates? Did a conservative run in opposition to him?

but the attacks are over the top

What attacks? Come back when the media attacks him non stop for three years.

Texans elected Perry because he is a Republican. Dems have no chance in this state, at least not at the moment.

I don’t care for Perry. He is your run of the mill politician, saying whatever is necessary to get elected. He had the chance to make real reforms during the special session, and punted.

If Palin runs, she’ll get my vote. Bachmann is too clueless to get the nomination, Romney is establishment, so he’ll never get my vote.

If Palin isn’t the nominee, chances are good I’ll vote 3rd party. I will only vote for a Conservative, which limits my options.

OK.. Perry is much better than Obama... then...
