Not exactly MENSA quality reasoning there, d12.
Perry has never served a day in Washington DC.
He’s asking to go there to make it function more like Texas’ gpvernment does, where he has made his bones.
The Bushes and Rove and even Cheney tried to oust him from the governorship by running Kay Bailey Hutchinson. There is your DC insider, staring you right in the face.
And you don’t even see it.
Those people are now supporting Mitt Romney, and they would have supported CHristie, Huntsman, Daniels...anybody but Perry.
If they could have anybody they wanted, it would be Jeb Bush.
Was Clinton was an outsider before becoming an insider?
