If it comes down to a contest between Perry and Cruz for the Texas delegation, my money is on Perry. He has been around Texas politics for a long time and has the organization that Cruz lacks. Besides of that, if you have seen Perry on TV lately he comes across as having consumate likeable political skills that Cruz hasn’t yet acquired.

Exactly what are ‘political skills?’

I much prefer Cruz's unwavering and flawless adherence to principles and ideals.

In other words, keeping to one's ideals the true intention is far preferable to political maneuvering for the sake of manipulating the outcome.

I could care less how personable Perry is or how well he comes across on televison. Cruz is a fighter. A bare knuckle brawler who also happens to posses one of the brightest minds in the political sphere as of right now. Give me those two God given attributes any day of the week. Go Cruz!!
