I’m ready for president “Anyone-other-than-obama”; so, I don’t mind the idea of “president Perry” at all.
Perry/Rubio 2012!!
“Texas Gov. Perry is poised to enter the presidential race in the coming weeks and, if he does, will completely transform the Republican primary,” Lee said, adding later: “Ours will be a condensed and unconventional strategy yet we have a clear path to the nomination.”
Another top Perry adviser, David Carney, said Lee’s words do not represent a shift towards making the campaign official.
“Our volunteers are exuberant and very supportive, but we’re no closer,” Carney said. “We’re still in the due diligence (phase).” Aug 1, 2011
Palin....
Major dittos to that.
1.) In the economic sphere;
2.) In the political sphere i.e. laws, alien control etc.:
3.) Cultural sphere;
4.) Religion & philosophy;
5.) Foreign affairs-about which a state governor may not have expeience.
This is the first candidate about which I have slight interest the rest being total flakes. Therefore, candid assessments would be appreciated.

In the philosophy dept...here’s what he did to a solid conservative judge. Opposed to affirmative action policies and minority-pandering. It’s excerpted from this article that lays out his good side then lays out his dark side:
Nor was his treatment of Texas Supreme Court Justice Steven Wayne Smith. Smith should be a hero to conservatives everywhere, as he was the lead attorney in Hopwood vs. Texas, which led to a landmark ruling against affirmative action and racial preferences in 1996. Several years later Smith ran for the Texas Supreme Court against Xavier Rodriguez. Rodriguez, who also called himself a moderate, had been appointed to the court by Governor Perry, no doubt as part of an effort to reach out to minorities. After Smith defeated Rodriguez in 2002, Rick Perry gave Smith the cold shoulder. In 2004 he personally recruited Paul Green to oppose Smith in the GOP primary, and lent his voice to tens of thousands of automated “robo calls” denouncing Smith. Unfortunately, his efforts paid off, and Steven Wayne Smith, one of the most conservative judges in Texas history, lost his seat on the Supreme Court. This sorry episode of petty vindictiveness revealed an ugly side of Rick Perry that few Texans had suspected.

Why not? He would be better than what is in there now.
I’d second that.
“NWO” Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!! You’re funny. Stupid, but funny.
Voters will be looking for a way forward from the Bush and Obama years. Bachmann and Cain or Palin are the only ones offering a third way. A bush redo will not beat Obama.
You're posting that all over from an article that slams Perry. Have you seen this?
