I had moved on because of the Texas DREAM Act and the unprepared appearances at the debates. But yesterday I read Perry’s plan for pushing American energy to create jobs without waiting for Congress and its actually very good. I am also a die hard states righter and I am desparate to see the Federal govt shrunk down to size. So unless he is just an abject liar Perry is also for all of these things. He needs to show up at the next debate prepared. Otherwise Romney is just going to marginalize him.
This next election is so important that I think we have all got to make a very careful and thoughtful choice. Obviously Mitt Romney is just not the guy. I think it’s Cain or Perry. So at this point Perry is back on my list of possibles. So is Newt if he can get some traction.
I like Perry’s energy plan too, but I don’t think that alone is enough to turn things around. The tuition issue is killing him, and will continue to do so unless he does a total flip flop, which I just don’t see him doing.
Either Perry has a total come to Jesus moment on illegals or it’s over at this point. And a simple flip flop wont do, he will have to become a zealot when it comes to illegl immigration if he wants people to actually believe his sudden conversion, and I just dont see that happening.
I would encourage you to watch the speech too. It is much better when he delivers it.
