Perry was the Ag Commisioner in Texas before running for Lt Governor. He beat a very popular John Sharp for the job and has ascended since then. But, even though I am a native Texan, I fear that he will be linked to GW in any race; that’s not fair but he will carry the baggage.
If things continue to tank under Obama, GW will start to look pretty good.
And always lurking...is the prospect of Jeb running.
