Again, Texas has been voted #1 business climate for the last seven years. By MANY publications.

Texas has been getting all of Kalifornya’s yobs.

Perry must be doing something right.
We need a good business guy right now.

Perry has proved it.
At a large state level. For many years.
I really don't care if he has a couple of warts.
He obviously isn't too Left if he he can put Texas on top for so many years.
We need someone to get this country out of a depression. Perry has a good government/business record.

I’m a 5th generation Texan and love this state but it’s time for another state to cough up cannon fodder for the DNC/ MSMedia gristmill. Conservative fodder would be good.

And his hair was perfect...

They can’t be all rock solid like Newt.

He talks a good game but I have seen little in his actions to suggest he is conservative, let alone a small government free market tea party candidate.

I have such mixed feelings about Perry. I hear so much from Texas posters about how they don’t trust him. I also would shoot myself if we ended up with another “Compassionate Conservative”, Lyndon Baines Bush-type big spender in the White House.

Having said that, he clearly has the money, organization and means to win. And he says a lot of the right things. I’d definitely look at him.

If given the choice between another four years of the Kenyan squatter in the White House or Gov. Goodhair, I’ll take Gov. Goodhair.

I am not a huge fan of Gov. Goodhair.

Compared to Romney, Newt, and the rest of the 7 dwarfs running for President (excepting Palin), he’s a rock star.

Didn’t the Tea Party get behind this guy.
He was at their events.

Palin endorsed him.

"...a man from deep in the heart of Texas who was tea party before the tea party was cool..."

No - Rick Perry simply has good political instincts, and shmoozed up to the Tea Party early on, then went on to make a bunch of tough-sounding statements which earned him a bit of street cred on the right.

I say this as a Texan who hopes he stays out of it.

I think the MSM wants anybody to run but Palin.

When/if she announces they will briefly go catatonic, then will immediately resume their massive campaign to discredit her - across the board, Democrats and (establishment) Republicans. Based on her record in Alaska, both parties should be afraid of her - and both appear to be just that.

Well, they never really stopped the massive campaign to discredit her, but it will resume momentum.

Well, since Perry endorsed Rudy Giuliani in 2008, I wonder if the pro-abort from NYC will return the favor.

He can even dress for the occasion...

I could vote for Rick. Like W, he’s made some whoppers of blunders, and he isn’t as conservative as I’d like, but on the whole he’s done a pretty good job. Four years ago, I was like, no way, but now I feel differently.
