If Perry gets the nomination I will work for him, I will donate money to him and I will vote for him.
But I don’t believe he can win either the nomination or the presidency if he is nominated.
I like the guy, I’m sickened by some of the worst of his critics here in FR, but I can’t support him for the nomination.
My choice is Newt. I know his flaws, and I know they’ll get listed again and again, but right now he’s my choice.
I know you’ve said positive things about Gov. Perry but I must disagree that the electorate won’t vote for Rick Perry, the man who has governed Texas through this depression - where almost half of the jobs have been filled and the economy stands in stark contrast to the rest of our economy, over the man who has presided over the systematic destruction of our economy, national security and standing in the world, and is currently working up his base to riot against the working sector of America.

He may be your choice , but there is no way in hell Newt could beat Obama . Personally speaking , I don’t trust him . But let’s say Newt gets the nod . A fat old white man who has been around for decades and is carrying tons of baggage vs. a younger , dynamic black man named Barack Obama . Considering the state of mind of the electorate in general , who wins ? Let’s get real .
