My plan is to nominate a candidate who isn't a GWB clone and who has won elections in states that aren't guranteed safe for the GOP. Perry can barely get elected in a super safe GOP state against laughable opposition, he'd be very weak running against a powerful Democrat machine in a swing state like Ohio or Wisconsin.
Of course it's pointless to list all the candidates running who fit that criteria, as the Rick Perry fanclub will insist he's the only person on the planet who is "electable" and anyone who dislikes him is either a Paulite or "waiting for Sarah"
John Kasic is doing very good things in Ohio.
I was just in WI for my Sons graduation two years ago and was stunned to see that we drove from Ohio through Indiana without BS but then got taxed to hell with toll booths and shitty roads in Illinois.
We then crossed to Wi and Lo and behold! The roads were good again and there were no toll booths.
I dont want to hear it
GWB nominated Dick Cheney as VP, a guy from a state with 2 electoral votes.
Dont start that GWB was an insider gamer BS with me.
