Yeah, right! GHWB didn't have star quality. Neither did Bob Dole, Dubya or McCain and neither does the establishment choice in 2012, Myth Romney.
The fact that Perry has some star power to go along with a good conservative executive governing record, will help him secure votes. And I'd say Perry loves Texas and America too.
Your post doesnt speak very well for the American voter, does it? Substance is the important ingredient, not star quality for the thinking, caring person. The last guy was elected on star quality, remember?
