I think Perry is a tough SOB

Really, the only thing I really like about Perry is that he is said to be one ruthless bastard. We need that.

I worked summers on a farm when I was a teenager. I lived in the small town nearby, but baling hay was my regular August job.

It isn't easy...and it makes a kid tough to work from dawn to dusk day after day.

In retrospect, I liked it. It builds character.

I know guys like Rick Perry. Dirt farmers, boy scouts, hicks who have character. They are not perfect, but they have earned every inch of what they have achieved (unlike our affirmative action TOTUS).

Perry has character earned in the dirt. You can see it in his face.

That said, if the conservative part of this country decides to get behind Sarah...I am behind her too (100%). And so will be Rick Perry.

The question is, will Sarah's supporters get behind Rick if he is the champion?
