I believe the most dangerous thing Barack Obama and his minions have done to our country is drive wedges between us. The people loved Ronald Reagan because he loved America and Americans. Rick Perry has the same appeal – and the country is hungry for it.
SacBee: “Romney not seeing the love or cash this time”
>>>> Billionaire Southern California developer Ed Roski, a Romney man four years ago, also remains on the sidelines, at least for now.
Sacramento consultant Rob Stutzman, a top GOP operative who was part of Romney’s effort in 2007 and 2008, hasn’t re-enlisted. Nor has Orange County GOP chairman Scott Baugh, who was key to Romney’s finance operation four years ago. Baugh isn’t endorsing anyone for now.
Former California Republican Party chairman Michael Schroeder was Romney’s California political director in 2007. This year, he is leaning toward Perry, though Perry is not expected to decide whether to enter the race until August.
“Donors and volunteers need to have a reason to get involved. You have to have someone who grabs your imagination, and there isn’t anyone yet,” Schroeder said.
Republicans are forever looking for their next Ronald Reagan. Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Chico, believes that candidate will be Perry, and circulated the letter signed by 19 legislators, including Harkey, encouraging the Texan to run for president.
Perry is playing heavily to evangelical Christians, which could help in a GOP primary but not in a general election. The safe bet is that Romney will end up with the nomination. But for now, Republicans in his sometimes home state of California are having second thoughts that he is the one.<<<<
