Perry should have been able to use the Bush blueprint and continued on with status quo. Even Clinton knew how to ride the Bush train FOR EIGHT YEARS and take credit for it - why can't "one of ours" do it? George HAD to lay the foundation for Perry. Not only that, it seems that Perry should be out there running on party platform, taking advantage of the inspiring spirit George is generating on a national level, and bring it on home.
Sheesh! WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANY SEATS, PERRY!!!
FIX IT, AND THEN WIN--PERIOD--END OF STORY.
I hope Perry gets on the ball in Texas. I don't want to lose a Senate seat - in Texas of all places - to liberal Democrat Ron Kirk.
