Garbage.

Sorry to be rude, but what you write just isn’t true.

The only reason Perry keeps getting re-elected is because Texas is so strongly conservative/Republican that the weak Dems can’t field a good candidate.

Please recall that in the 2006 race, he faced a weak Dem legislator and two independents (Kinky Friedman, the jokester, and Carol Keeton Strayhorn Rylander, etc. etc, who billed herself as “one tough grandma.) Seriously.

And he only got 39% of the vote, which was enough to keep him in office.

Texas is doing better than most other states because we have a pro-business, independent, less-government-is-best-government mentality, with a weak governor and a legislature that only meets for a few months every two years.

We’re doing well in most respects because Perry has very little power.The passion for Perry is coming from outside Texas because he looks good and talks good. But they don’t know him by his deeds.

We do.

The passion for Perry is coming from outside Texas because he looks good and talks good. But they don’t know him by his deeds.

People outside of Texas, they know him by at least one deed that doesn't involve him butting heads with Obama - campaigning for the pro-abortion Rudy Giuliani in 2008. He hit the campaign trail in other states, he was on Fox News and I believe CNN as well as a few other outlets trying to sell Giuliani. It was a big shot in the arm for Giuilani's campaign.

It's a moot point though, most people don't seem to care about the abortion issue, otherwise they wouldn't even consider Perry. You can't really call yourself pro-life if you hit the campaign trail for a pro-abortion candidate who could have appointed pro-abortion Supreme Court justices were he elected.
