Your first three picks have the unique ability to appear on TV and put hundreds of thousands of family pets into a deep sleep. Good men, and perfect right where they are, thank you, but no.
Perry? Must be something in the Texas drinking water. The guy can't talk under pressure, just like that other guy from Texas. George somebody, wasn't it?

Now among your least favorites, coupla interesting people.
Doc Carson? Great VP pick, IMNVHO.
Doc Paul? maybe something in an administration.
Krispy Kreme Christie? Fuggedabout Fatso. No doughnut in the country would be safe. I am with you there.
Jeb? Make a great ambassador to Aztlán. ¿Presidente? Yo creo que no.

Yes, Perry. Texas is the model for modern American conservatism IMHO.

The state...

1) Has no state income tax.
2) Is right to work.
3) Has a part time state legislature and limited state government
4) Is pro-life
5) Is pro-Second Amendment
6) Is pro-business
7) Is pro-drill baby drill
8) Has tort reform
9) Is working top secure its border even if the Fed won’t.
10) Actually enforces the death penalty.

What better model could we ask for as an example of common sense conservative governance that works?
