While I don't want Sarah Palin to run, I think she would be a good President. I think most of the GOP field would be better than Obama.
I think a corn field would be better than Obama.
Why are you so sure that Perry’s record will put him into the positive? The more I learn about him, the further he moves from being an acceptable candidate.
Actually, Perry has a 14% DK (Don't Know).
The 30% is "Never Heard of Him".
At this stage of the game, that's good.
That means that Perry still has 44% of the voters at least willing to get to know him and possibly vote for him.
I will admit that, although Perry is my current dog in this fight, I do not necessarily "like" Perry. If I could magically construct the ideal nominee, it would not be him.
I believe that his Texas drawl will remind voters of Bush, I believe that wearing his religion on his sleeve will not play well outside of the Bible Belt and I have never cared for politicians or salesmen whose hair is too "perfect" (It reflexively makes me see if my wallet is still in my pocket.)
Yet, when I look at the executive experience of some candidates (zero) and the Favorabilty of other candidates among all voters (lower than whale scat at the bottom of the ocean) that leaves Perry as the only GOP nominee, other than the liberal Romney, that can trounce Obama in November of 2012.
To paraphrase Churchill, "Perry is the worst potential GOP candidate we have to defeat Obama .... Except for all the others."
“I think most of the GOP field would be better than Obama.”
Understatement of the year.
Well, hopefully she will. We need a good President. You don't want a good President???
Rick Perry is another RINO on many issues! His positives will rise? How is Rick Perry’s too weak on illegal immigration issues along with a, still, profoundly porous Texas/Mexico border positive for Rick Perry? Rick Perry agreed to the Dream Act in Texas! Amnesty for illegal immigrants will ruin the U.S., forever-No to Rick Perry for ‘12 POTUS and beyond! Rick Perry isn’t conservative enough on all issues.
