Perry will be the 2012 Republican nominee, and will destroy Obama.
Provided that there is a Constitutional Republic still observed here, what makes you think that after "W" anyone will ever vote a Texas Governor into the presidency again?
OTOH, 2012 is so close, the Tea Party doesn't have enough time to weed out the Establishment types from the GOP. Looks like another compromise ahead. The difficult part is that 2016 we might have a better candidate, but we need to get rid of President Soros NOW, not six years from now.
W was born in Connecticut
W and his father were yankees, moving to Texas doesn't make you a Texan.
There is a reason that W and his father were RINO’s in many ways, it's because they were both transplanted yankees pretending to be something they weren't.
