I never supported Rick’s bid for the White House, but I twice gave him my vote for Governor.

Come on home Rick. You made the right choice.

I was happy to have Rick Perry enter the presidential race and appreciate what he brought to the national discussion of all of the issues important to voters. However, it seemed obvious to me after a fairly short time that Perry was in the position of Fred Thompson who also started big and did not expand his following sufficiently to stay a viable candidate. I think that Perry was persuaded to run by others who saw his potential and were more ambitious for him than he was himself. Same for Thompson. If I were a Texan I would be proud of Rick Perry and support him as the great governor he is. Best wishes to Gov Perry who I believe will be a great asset to the Republican party in his very powerful job as governor of the great and powerful state of Texas.
