I’m all for a Perry run. I think he would knock the socks off Obama, and while Perry has his flaws, he is dependable for states rights, anti federal government, and conservative financial measures. He is also pro life which for me used to be the first level of decision making although now with Obama, it seems we have all sorts of things we need to be concerned about at the same time.
I would hate to see Perry and Mitt Romney together. First of all, too much “hair upon the head” there. Secondly, as much as I like Perry as a candidate against Obama, picking Romney as a running mate would tell me Perry doesn’t have any sense... or taste for that matter. I don’t think Perry would pick Romney anyway. While Perry fits the bill for most of the Tea Party values, he has flown the coup a couple of times with some of his stands (understandable in context for the most part but surely still a little odd), and he will be fighting to prove his worth to the Tea Partiers. If he got in bed with Romeny, he would lose all ground with them, I think.
I like the Perry / Rubio combo. Is it true Rubio isn’t a natural born citizen and would therefore be ineligible? Sad if so. That would be a great combination.
Palin and Perry would go nicely together too, quite nicely, and their hair styles actually compliment one another. (JK)
Personally, I would love to get Ohio governor John Kasich as a VP candidate with Rick Perry or even visa versa — Perry from Texas and Kasich from Ohio... two big states, and you never know with Ohio how they’ll go on the national level. I don’t think anyone is talking about John Kasich, and maybe he is too busy with Ohio right now, but I sure just like that man both politically and personally.
As an Ohioan, I like him, voted for him and think he's doing a great job here. That said, he is not VP material simply because of his big mouth. He doesn't think before he speaks and I don't mean in a funny or silly way like Biden. I agree with the message in this video, but he could have chosen a better way of wording it in public.
Here it is:
