Okay, that's your opinion. Why did he keep getting elected in a state that is so obviously red? I mean the same thing can be said about OBOZO, but just as easily laid at the feet of the big electoral college states with big liberal populations. I also think that Obama is an aberration in election results because many didn't want to be seen turning out a minority.

Because even conservatives are more inclined to vote for the devil they know, rather than the devil they don't know.

Also, the same party machinations that propelled liberal Mitt Romney to the nomination, are the same as what maneuvered Perry to the front of the Republican pack, time and time again.

Frankly, we were stuck with the guy, and had nowhere else to go. It was better than staying home or turning the state over to a Democrat.
