I have a friend who supported Perry. The friend was a Democrat until recently. He and Perry have been friends for many years. My friend is hands down one of the most brilliant people in the US. Up until late yesterday I believed that there was no way Obama could be re-elected. I texted my friend and asked him who would win. He said Obama. That really bummed me out because this person is never wrong. Never. Prayed he would be wrong but he was right on the money. The Romney loss upset me so much I did not get to sleep until 4 AM. When I got to the office this AM one of my female employees was in tears. Really torn up.
Perry is a good man. A decent man. His mistake was getting in to the game when he was not physically right. The truth is that Perry had his moment of forgetfullness not because of anything he lacks mentally but because he was on medication for his back and had little sleep. Perry would have made a great president.
The states are not going quietly into the night on ObamaCare.
