Agreed. For me, the three most important questions when looking for a president are:
1) Who will be in the Cabinet
2) Who will be his judges
3) Will he use the veto
For Perry, I dont know the answer to question 1, but Im pretty sure it wouldnt be any holdovers from Bush. I wouldnt be surprised to see someone like Mitch Daniels show up there, with Pence looking at the Indiana Governor. I also wouldnt be surprised to see Palin.
As to question 2, it is a mixed bag. He has made judicial appointments of moderates as well as conservatives. And at least one time, it looked like he picked a Hispanic to fit a Hispanic area.
For question 3, he definitely will use the veto pen. I believe he has used it more than any other Texas Governor.
The thing I like about Perry is he knows who the players are.
He will clean house.
