Agreed (though I’ve never been on-board with Perry - in-state tuition for children of illegals killed his chances with me).
I’m not crazy about either Perry or Romney, but I try to remember that a HUGE part of being president is MANAGING the ship-of-state. What we sometimes call “putting the grown-ups back in charge”. I think they both have the potential to be decent managers of the country, but I shure would prefer someone who shares my ideology, like Cain. This is why I think the two party system sucks. You wind up either being represented, or dissed, and even if the incumbent is the same party, he may not represent you.
Oh, and we need a lot more congressional districts than 435. Every time a new census comes out, each congresscritter represents more people, which means he represents each of them less.
