While many on the right criticize Perry’s prior Democratic credentials - that could also be used to persuade current disaffected democrats that they too can “come to Jesus”.
Perry can empathize with the average Dem that he once, like them, believed the Dem Party was for middle class Americans and free market concepts.
He should stress that he came to the realization that he could no longer support the Dem Party in the direction it was headed and is both dismayed and appalled at the blatant anti-American, Marxist, socialist perversion that its leaders now represent.
Leftists are really shaken that Perry was once one of them but got wise. They fear that could happen to other sheep in the flock. There is loser despair in their internet posts.
Now THAT sounds like something a certain Governor of California would have said.

That may the reality, or it may be what you want to believe about Perry.
For all I know Perry chose to run as a Republican and chose some Conservative positions because he thought he might be successful in Texas elections if he did, and not because of any abiding principled convictions.
Maybe Perry will be the GOP equivalent to Obama - a mere and convenient vessel that other persons place into what are their own beliefs.
