Perry is essentially copying Scott Walker. This could be interesting. Think about it.
You have:
Moderate governors: Krispy, Kasich
More conservative governors: Perry, Walker
Even more conservative senators: Paul, Cruz
Not sure we have seen something like that before. Perry’s main opponent for a similar vote share would appear to be Walker, so perhaps he’s trying to plunder Cruz/Paul for votes. I don’t think it will work.

You are calling Paul a conservative? No knock on Rand Paul, I certainly don't see it this way.
Too, these Governors have a record of signing bills, legislation, in Walker's case facing down a Union.
The Senators have a record of no bills passed, they have acted nobly. That is certain in that filibuster and standing up against the Healthcare bill. Still, I can't call the Governors less conservative by any means because Walker and Perry are actually getting things done, bringing jobs to their state, signing pro-life legislation. They actually have to work with the government, both-sides and this is not always ideal.
You know, if Obola carries out his threat to carry out illegal amnesty, Texas will be (is) on the ramparts of this invasion from Mexico. This puts Perry in a good position in a war against Obola in the forefront of the American people...just before the next presidential election. This is just what Perry was hoping for.
Clearly Perry and Walker trying to clear the decks of Cruz.......
I’m sorry what does “Even more conservative senators: Paul...” mean? Surely you don’t think Fraudboy is conservative after last year do you?
I’ll never understand the appeal of Rand Paul. He is not interested in principles, he is interested in ideas, especially the idea of Rand Paul as president. It would be hard to find an issue that he has not come down squarely on both sides.
Our best Presidents have been executives, not policymakers
Perry’s state is doing well economically, Walker’s not so much. Walker is doing the same sorts of things that caused Pennsylvania to pitch Corbett over, so of the two, my money would be on Perry to be able to deliver the goods.

Where do Nikki Haley and Bobby Jindall fit in there?
