Perry will be the last candidate standing. He will do it the hard way. On the ground. In person.

I did not like Perry for a long time but changed my mind recently. If you look at my old posts I was giving some poster named Cincinnatus Wife (spelling?) a lot of grief about Perry. I was like a junk yard dog against Rick Perry. Then I met him through a friend who supports him. Oddly enough, a friend who in 2007 was a big time Democrat.

I keep the picture above on one of my office monitors. It reminds me that Perry has the stones to get right in Obama's face. He has already gone toe-to-toe with the boy king. Say what you want about Perry at his core the guy has nerves of steel.

One thing about the picture. I wonder who the fellow in uniform is saluting to. A person that served the country and did dangerous things flying aircraft or some poser who never worked a real day in his life.

He may, but he won't get the chance unless he can fix his speaking shortcomings.

Great story! Thanks.

I trust Rick, but was mortified by his early team and complained, both here and to the campaign. It was like watching Ned with his first reader! There for a long while it was all pals and no sharks on board, though he had the money to have hired the best.

I thought to myself, this looks like a replay of the Palin fiasco— all noise and no seriousness, no metal, or infrastructure in the team, enough to meet the challenge of a national stage. Rick dwarfed Palin in heavy experience, in the scope of challenges he faced, in a huge state with a huge population on an international border. His JOBS achievement stands alone and he has already proven he can meet the needs of the nation. God be with him as the clock is running.

If he can make up the time squandered, many of us are getable for a return.
