So Perry for me, Perry/ Palin I would love more then anything.
As far as the General I pray it will be Rick Perry but if not God help us all and America. I have no idea who it would be and am terrified to even think that far ahead.
My one problem with Newt is his idea of allowing people who have lived 25 years in the country to remain and to set that decision in the hands of local officials. That stand got praise from both clinton and schumer.

Why would partisan democrats praise newt’s idea.
Because they would see clearly how it could be gamed.
In a conservative county most of the illegals would be pushed out but in a county where most people speak spanish and 40% of the population is illegal — nobody will be deported. That includes people who have just stepped over the border. There won’t be anything the feds or the state can do because they locals will be the ultimate arbiter. What’s more these counties will become gateway counties into the country from other countries and they will attract illegals from other parts of the country.
The result will be that florida and texas especially will shift over to the democratic column. That’s the big prize the democrats are counting on that will shut the republicans out of presidential politics and the direction of the country.
That’s why Schumer and Clinton had high praise for Newt’s idea.
