Your guy has some of that cred too, which is why I also like him.
Just stopped by to wish everyone a happy new year, and also to give you some info I gleaned from Twitter:
1. Iran fired a medium range ballistic missile successfully in the Gulf this morning. (Source, BBC)
2. Matthew Down was on one of the networks this morning and said that “Iowa picks the loser.” Since Dowd supports Romney, I assume the internals aren’t quite as good as the media polls.
3. Slate has an article showing how very unreliable the current polling system is, and how the internal polls of the campaign are much better. Motto: Pay no attention to polls.
4. I expect Perry to do much better than the media is indicating. The CNN correspondent there in Iowa said he has almost 2000 people from Texas who drove up to help, and he has more precinct captains than anyone. Media is ignoring the importance of organization in Iowa. They were supposed to have snow there last night. Weather is going to be a factor.
I am off to a New Year’s Day antique auction. Best wishes to all of you, and may this year see better times for our country!
Well, yeah, I admit to Texas bias.
But Perry has all the conservative virtues and few of the negatives.
For one thing, he’s been a governor for the last thousand years. He’s been attacked by the liberal media in Texas and by the Austin establishment for 999 of those years. They hate him and there’s no liberal media as nasty as the Texas liberal media.
They’ve never been able to ‘get him’ on anything because he hasn’t done anything. They’ve searched his closet for years and only found boots.
Nothing will come out about him to cause someone to lose sleep.
He’s been a politician for years but never a Washington insider.
Well, I could go on but I’d better go on over to a Perry thread or I will be shunned here.
