“See ya Gov, it was nice not knowin’ ya.”

Hold on a second. Just because Gov. Perry endorsed Giuliani last time means that he’s automatically out?

Actually, IMO, his ties to Giuliani may be a strength, because, through him, he’ll be able to get support of people who won’t support the likes of Palin, Bachmann, etc.

From what I have observed, in order to win the GOP nomination this time around, we need a candidate who can appeal to and unite the three major wings of the GOP: (1) The GOP Establishment, (2) The Evangelicals and (3) The Tea Party.

I know we all don’t like the GOP Establishment, but we need their support to have a united front against Obama. Gov. Perry has connections to the highly influential and wealthy GOP donors and has tremendous fundraising capability, which will allow him to raise money very quickly and match the $1 billion that Obama plans on raising.

Gov. Perry also has connections to the Evangelical wing, which is very important, and he is conservative on all of the major social issues. And he was connected to the Tea Party before there was a Tea Party. He is strongly for states’ rights and the 10th Amendment.

The one-issue voting needs to stop. No candidate is perfect and I only remember one perfect person who has ever walked this earth.
