“but in Texas Perry is known as the come back kid. He is not one you ever count out....”
What...?
I have never, ever heard that said of Perry.
You mean like coming back after ripping his shorts and peaving off most of the state with the TTC?
That kind of comeback?

It's a long way to next November. Romney will still be lying about Romneycare, Ron Paul will still be on the foreign policy fringe, Bachman will still be a superb congeressperson, Santorum will still be squinting incredulously, And President Perry will get this economy moving again.

He may be an average-decent speaker from prepared copy, et al, but hes (clearly) not one to speak spontaneously in any clear or convincing manner. He stumbles, mumbles, and rambles too much. Sounds kinda like an idiot. His debate performances are not the exception, theyre pretty much closer to the rule.My how descriptive you are. No bias there. /s
But not according to those he meets out on the stump. Gov. Perry is a superb retail politician and executive. He relates to the people, listens to their concerns and they approve of his conversations with them.

General elections are not won by how you do in Texas.
Given Perry's demonstrated incompetence on the campaign trail, betting on Perry to not self destruct in Oct 2012; either at the debates or based on some undiscovered landmine in his past, is a fool's bet.

Think he means come back, as in, come from or to, the democrate party. Could hardly be the comeback kid if he had to pull a party switch to keep his job.

Govern texas, the texas governor is more are less a figure head. http://texaspolitics.laits.utexas.edu/1_printable.html Technically. But since Gov. Perry has served longer than any other governor, he's had the 6 years (and 5 more) that it takes to appoint every office a Texas governor can fill. So Perry has his team in place and it works very well. As this story aptly relates.

"...no need in the world to win liberal approval..." He already has plenty of liberal approval for his coddling of illegal aliens, backing of Al Gore, sanctuary cities, opposition to e-verify, crony capitalism and LaRaza dealings. How much more does he need? Why don't Ricardo, Milt and Huntsman go run against Mr. Obama on the Democratic ticket? That'd make more sense.

Refuted.

Wrong, only socialists thinks government creates jobs. They take money from people who do create jobs. But a rino plays on both side of the fence, and with amnesty perry it is on three sides of the fence. But it is still a figure head position compared to other governors.

Rick Perry says U.S. troops may needed in Mexico to fight war against drug cartels You're damn right. He wants to work with Mexico to seal the border and run off the drug cartels that Obama-Holder have been supplying with guns. And isn't it nice that Gov. Perry has a working relationship with our allies Mexico and Israel (and no doubt Great Britain will be happy and many other Obama snubbed allies) -- as the Perry doctrine is, "We stand with our allies."

If you had read the article, it clearly shows that Gov. Perry has created a climate that is welcoming to employers and they employ workers -- nice how that works. Too bad Obama is too much of a communist to try it.

“No bias there. /s”
Of course there’s bias there. It comes from having him as governor for 11 years. Ya kinda figure out a little bit about a guy in that amount of time.
Like I said above, he’s not absolutely heinous at speechifying. Not great, but not terrible. If the debates consisted of nothing but each candidate just standing there and reciting a speech, he’d be doing a lot better right now.
Your biases are showing as well. It’s a two-way street this “bias” business.
