Rick Perrys people are cotton farmers from Paint Creek, a West Texas town so tiny and remote that my Texan traveling-salesman father looked at me skeptically and suggested I had the name wrong when I asked him whether he knew where it was.On the other hand, LBJ also came from a similar background, and we all know how he turned out.

Paint Creek is north of Abilene in cotton/wheat/oil/cattle country where people work very hard for what they have and, if its a bad year, that might not be a lot. My people are from there, too. No nonsense and tough as nails. That is Perry’s history and background.
That said, Sarah has me at “I’m running”.

Technically, but it was east Texas. Different animal. :)
