A record of job creation. A record of balancing a significant, expected budget deficit, more than once.
You forgot to add that Perry seems to really make Obama nervous.
Tim Pawlenty has a record in Minnesota of balancing every budget without raising taxes. He also a record of job creation, Minnesota had big job growth from 2002-2008 when he was Governor, far better than what they have now.
So again, what exactly does Perry bring to the field that the existing candidates DON'T have?
