I pretty much agree that Rick Perry capped his political career as a governor.
I want to know why it’s a problem with the electorate when someone reaches their potential political potential at that level. We have 50 states, we don’t have 50 governors worthy of being President from any number of criteria.
I think Rick Perry shot himself in the foot fatally years ago on the national stage when he couldn’t name 3 agencies he’d close down. Stuff like that sticks with primary voters, that’s how I remember him on the proverbial national stage.
This is a doomsday presidential cycle for “real” politicians. We’re going to see this time, after time so get used to it every time one of them is forced out.
Just wait for the doomsday predictions when Bush bows out.

The idea of Governors as desirable candidates pretty much ended with Clinton and Bush.
