As bad as Daniels is, Perry makes him look good.
In 2012, another guy from Texas, or the same commie from Kenya?
H.B. z ~ it’s still too soon after LBJ!
neither is conservative enough.
This redstate guy works for CNN. I pay him NO attention at all. Removed his website from my list.
If feel another “do I have to hold my nose and vote?” election coming up.
He doesn’t have chance.
Why is it that all these people who probably couldn’t even recognize or find Texas on a map think that Perry is a conservative?
Perry for President....
President of the Free and Independent Republic of Texas!
The best things about Rick Perry are his political skills (considerable) and his hair.
Policy-wise he's not necessarily as strong as Pawlenty or Daniels. But he's very good at playing the populace.
I think anybody who actually articulates that he wants people to come ask him to run is either arrogant or needy or both. I’m willing to be convinced that was somebody else misquoting him, but my first reaction is, “Yeah, we’ve already got a ‘savior’ in the WH, don’t need another one”.

Doesn’t Daniels have a big Muzzie contingent supporting him?
I could vote for Perry... I refuse to vote for daniels... but Perry will probably not run.

As much as people say they want a compromiser in the White House, they want no such thing.
As an example, the last two Presidential elections that the Democrats won was when the Republicans put forward a long time Senator.
Due to the very nature of legislating, there will always be issues of compromise that can be brought up when you have spent any significant amount of time there.
Dole and McCain were both very effective legislators and with that came the skill of compromising. Even Kerry got nailed on the “flip flop” issue on the Democrat side.
Obama didn’t have that long of a legislative record, so it was much harder to paint him as a compromiser as opposed to McCain.
This time, we cannot make the mistake of putting up a legislator to run against a sitting President. It must, absolutely must, be someone with experience as a Governor.
This sadly excludes some very exciting prospects such as Cain and Bachmann. I like both of them, Cain more by a bit, but neither of them can say “I made these tough decisions and let the buck stop with me for the result”.
This narrows the field considerably.
