“Perry had the courage to initiate this, the rest, — with the two exceptions — don’t even have the courage to attend.”
I don’t know any governors, but I do know most average people would need longer to plan a trip to Texas than the time between now and August 6th. I don’t think this is as much a courage issue as a much has a logistics issue. Also, this event benefits Perry, but not necessarily the other attendees. Politicians like to be center stage, not stage right. Were I concerned, I’d still be willing to grant some latitude to those who turned down the offer. Do we know how many sent Lt. Governors or other officials?
“I don’t think this is as much a courage issue as a much has a logistics issue. “
Be serious — we are talking about governors, not people who have to give two months notice to their bosses to take a week vacation.
Let’s not show Republican unity, it would be too shocking for people. (/sarc)
Perry is the President of the Republican Governors Association.
This event has been set for well over a month, maybe longer.
