Texas' tuition rate requirements are not even remotely close to being on the radar of issues people have right now. If Rick Santorum has an issue with what Texas does, he can leave his perch in DC, move to Texas and try and make a difference. In the meantime, Texas will continue to do what Texas does: remain the best place to do business in the United States.
No problem keep Gov Perry as you governor because he will not see national relevance. I lived in Texas it is a great state but Perry will not be the best representative as a Presidential nominee this time. He does not represent the views of conservatives and treats them poorly because we do not share his view. Stick a fork in him, and go back to Austin and do what you do best. We will defeat Romney on our own no problem then on to light work in Obama.
