I just looked and your from Texas. When I made the comment “I don’t know where you’re from, but Perry’s election record is not one to be proud of.”, that was meant for somebody outside of Texas who had no awareness of Perry’s elections. Being that you’re from Texas, I’m shocked that you would consider his gubernatorial elections something to be proud of. 39% was dang good in 2006 against a heavily divided field, but it’s still not something to be proud of since it means 61% of voters voted for somebody other than Perry.
I think “undefeated” is something to be proud of, yes. It’s a legitimate and noteworthy accomplishment, no matter how you spin it.
