A new Rasmussen poll in Texas finds that Gov. Rick Perry — the man who has suggested his state might secede from the United States — is in a near-tie in his Republican primary against the popular U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison: Perry 42%, Hutchison 38%, with a ±4% margin of error.
You might think it’s bad for the incumbent to be under 50% in his primary, but this could actually be a big improvement for Perry. There isn’t another recent Rasmussen poll for direct comparison, but a survey from Public Policy Polling (D) back in February put Hutchison ahead 56%-31%.

Then he beat her by 20 points.
I hope Perry is having a good day in D.C. today. He needs to convince those good ole boys he’s the right candidate. We’ll see.
Keep the faith. IMO, he just needs to get back to being himself. He should get rid of those professional “handlers.” They’re not worth spit.
