Other than the whole redistricting drama I can't recall anything Perry has done that could be considered conservative and I think that Texas is ready for same. In fact I think we need a strong conservative to once and for all solve the property tax issue

What's your "conservative" solution to funding education? There are no good alternatives; somebody is going to be paying more than they are now if you and I get a property tax cut or freeze.

The redistricting "drama" is worth another vote, IMO. He stood up to the Democrats and the media and forced the issue.

Perry's going to win in a walk, not only the primary, but also the general. Strayhorn reminds a lot of men of their ex-wives (so I've been told) or their nagging mothers-in-law, so she'll have to get her votes from women.

Friedman stands a good chance of not even making it on the ballot. Chris Bell is a nobody, and will make the same impression most Democrats do on election day.

I once read that Michael Stanley Dukakis reminded women of their first husbands.

I got it wrong. It was the first George Bush who supposedly reminded women of their "bumbling" first husbands, and it was "debonair" Michael Stanley Dukakis who was like their second husbands.
