Some people have courage and then there are people like you that don’t recognize.
I will hold me nose and vote of Perry or Romney as I did for McCain. I will encourage others and send money to support a true conservative that will do what she says she will do. There are hundreds of thousand that feel the same way I do.
Those are all great qualifications and the fact he was an eagle scout, hunter and farmer are just bonuses.
Palin has neither the experience nor the impressive background Perry has. In fact it seems obvious that Palin needs her supporters to make excuses for her, not that she made mistakes, because they don't think she does or can, but because everyone is out to get her because she is so awesome.
That is a big time losing strategy in the general election. We simply have to believe everyone will find her as awesome as her supporters do but realistically it wont happen. Aside from Palin and Bachmanns attempt to smear Perry as a man for sale (when did Republicans start stooping so low against other Republicans?) which didn't stick. Perry is the man to win this thing.
