I like Perry and will vote for him. The race is over and it’s obvious. It’s not who you like, it’s who can win. And I believe that Romney and Perry will both have the money and support to get the nomination. But many folks will believe that Romney will be hurt by the Mormon thing. So they will give it to Perry. We can talk about this for the next year but it would be a waste of time. it will be Perry. Done deal.
That's how we got Dole and McCain.
“It’s not who you like, it’s who can win.”
Yup, and principles be damned. It’s worked great so far! /s
You are out of your mind.
Exactly! And now that gnawing at my gut everyday since zero ‘won’ it is gone, gone, gone, GONE!
I think it’s the Romney-care thing that will sink Romney during the primaries. If he survives the primaries and gets the nomination it won’t be an issue as Obama can’t really hit him with that unless he wants to go after his own ridiculous government intrusion into health care.
Perry will tout his tort reform measures that has resulted in influx of doctors into Texas but as in all states, Medicaid in Texas is problematic. They will site uninsured persons in Texas as a problem for Perry, but when you factor out those who can afford insurance but choose not to purchase it - and those who do not enroll their kids in the state program called CHIPS for whatever reason they choose - and the hoards of ILLEGALS who don’t have insurance but get free care anyway the numbers in Texas are not bad.
I think a bigger hurdle for Perry in the primaries against a Bachman or Palin for instance will be his signing of the bill that allows in-state tuition for ILLEGALS !! He may dance around that but that dog won’t hunt in a conservative state with conservative voters.
Wow good to know! Now I can do something else until election day...thank you! (sarc/)
