I can't really disagree with your overall point. I'll be voting for Perry too, but without tremendous enthusiasm. Regarding the out of control spending, I'd blame George W. Bush for that, as he never had to worry about running out of money because the economy was so strong.

I was probably the first person on this website to warn, many months ago, that Perry was not compiling anywhere nearly a conservative record in office. I think he is vulnerable, but his self-confidence is shameless. He will be the most surprised man in TX on November 6 if he loses, for he has never thus far lost an election. But he is clearly not giving many people a real reason to bother to drop by the early voting sites or the polls themselves.
