Henninger has an article in the WSJ, speculating on the question of Texas fatigue due to other Texas presidents. I skipped it at first, expecting it to be negative, but I was surprised. The article is actually positive regarding the possibility of a Perry candidacy. Henninger says that it would enliven the Republican primary.

Thank you Eva!

I've located it and will link it.

Rick Perry: Ready for Prime Time? Perry would give the race three things: Texas, Texas and the 10th Amendment. [excerpt]...........What makes a Perry candidacy intriguing is that he has built out the Texas story into a political philosophy, or movement, erected around the Tenth Amendment. In economic terms, Mr. Perry argues that the nation will grow more if we have 50 states competing with each other rather than competing to survive Washington. But it's broader than that. The tea party is mostly about spending. The Perry argument is about the fundamental relationship between the states and Washington. It's about decades of federal encroachment on state prerogatives.

Say this—if the Texas governor gets in, you won't see another debate like last Tuesday's GOP flatliner in New Hampshire. [end excerpt]
