I rather be complaining about a Rick Perry in the White House than an Obama in the White House. Any Republican who can beat Bammy Boy gets my vote. But my preference is Rick Perry and he can beat Bammy. Bachmann, Palin cannot raise the $$ to beat Obama. Rick Perry and Romney can

If it's a matter of money, Palin can raise it.

Don't be sure about Perry winning, either. Just how sure are you, that the electorate at large, would be ready to elect another Governor of Texas just 4 short years after Bush?

Romney is a sure loser.

I am grateful we will have a long, robust Marathon Primary Season to see how it all shakes out!

Furthermore the field of candidates just might not be set.....yet.

Excellent point. I've heard many say "no more Texans". Shallow, I know but many think that way. They also see no difference between RINO Rick and Bush. I don't know how many would let these things affect the way they vote but I know there are many here at FR who say "No more Bushs" whenever someone mentions a run by JEB.

Me? I just don't want another RINO and that means no on Perry.
