I would be perfectly happy with Perry, who was a highly successful governor of a state with a larger economy than many countries.

ROFLOL...... You're not a Texan are you? Perry is a light-weight. In Texas, the power is with the Lt. Gov. The Governor is basically a ceremonial position. If Perry is still in the running in the GOP Primary when Texas' turn rolls around, Ted Cruz will double the number of votes Perry gets. Texans know him. The "Good-old-boy" political network in Texas kept him in the Governor's chair for their advantage. He is a pill-poppin' pawn for Special Interest Groups in TX. He would not make a decent scab on the butts of Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.

Nope, not from Texas. Time will tell if he gets to the debates.
