AND he can beat Obama.
What's not to like?
Perry is Romney’s Trojan Horse.

Rove for Romney. Rove for Perry.
NO MORE RINOs.
I don't think Perry is that oblivious to what Sarah will do to EVERY pubbies campaign.
First, the Texas governorship has limited actual authority.
Most of the governor’s power rests in appointments. Very little power rests in influencing legislation, except via veto or by the selection of which items to include in a special session of the legislature.
Most actual power rests with the lieutenant governor. Therefore many of the accomplishments credited to Perry (or formerly credited to Bush, when he was governor) are actually largely attributable to others.
Secondly, Perry has always seemed to be more about Perry, than he has been about actually doing things for the good of the state.
Thirdly, Perry has very little international expertise or experience. Of course that is true of most of the candidates, and is certainly true of the current president. That alone would not rule out Perry, in my mind.
Michele Bachman seems a more sound candidate, although admittedly she is not nearly as well understood here in Texas as is Perry.
Having said all of that, I certainly would support Perry, if he were to become the nominee, as an alternative to four more years of Obama.
“What’s not to like?”
He’s another RINO. I don’t like that.
Self delusion on display.
Nothing the race needs more than two Romneys. LOL
I can’t see the great masses of the East and West coasts and the Great Lakes giving more 6than 25 percent of their votes to Perry. Is there a way to win elsewhere?
LLS
I hope all the Perry bashers enjoy another 4 years of obama. Sure, we would all rather have West, but that isnt going to happen. I want an American in Office. One that has been born here and loves this Country. Perry may not be our first choice but he is a better choice than Obama or Romney. Keep bashing him and trying to turn everyone against him and we will have another 4 horrible disgusting years of watching obama complete his destruction of this country.
I actually am OK w/Perry...but I think he should jump in sooner than Late August.
Given his still low name recognition (55%) with his very high favorability rating. He will become the one to beat in short order. He also is a great speaker and connects with average people from all levels.
I have no problem with Perry. I agree with most of his policies.
