Oh yea hee is what the average American who watches the 6 pm news will think - an old white guy and a crazy guy from Texas who was laughed off the stage. Come on folks these guys are not in the race. They are getting less than 10% in 90% of the races, why them? Oh and Perry jsut gave Apple 21,000,000 in tax breaks to EXPAND their existing facility in Texas - he is one tough guy on taxes.
Perry is an extremely appealing candidate. Seeing his name in connection with this election revived an interest in me that’s been missing since he dropped out.
The people who like him (and there are a lot) REALLY like him.
The people who don’t are mostly uninformed or believe the MSM picture of him.
With the possible exception of North Dakota - which recently had something like the biggest oil find of the century - Texas is the greatest economic success story of the country. On Perry’s watch.
Yep; of course it’a all academic because Gingrich has precisely zero chance of getting the nomination.
But from a purely academic standpoint it would be interesting to see if a Gingrich/Perry ticket could beat Goldwater or Alf Landon in terms of getting crushed.
Sounds like a good deal to this Texan...or would you rather see the jobs go to China ?

Gov. Perry Announces Apple to Create 3,600 New Jobs in Austin
Gov. Rick Perry today announced that Apple will expand its presence in Texas with a $304 million investment in a new campus in Austin that will create more than 3,600 new jobs. The new campus will more than double the size of Apple’s workforce in Texas over the next decade, supporting the company’s growing operations in the Americas with expanded customer support, sales and accounting functions for the region.
In exchange for Apple’s commitment to create these new jobs in Texas, the state has offered Apple an investment of $21 million over ten years through the Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF).
