“....Rick Perry has had some gaffes to be sure, but he has also amassed a record of success as an executive in Texas which stacks up well against pretty much anyone else in the nation. Can the public look past the repeating media themes about him as some sort of bumbling, forgetful, Mr. Magoo character? I’m not saying that Perry will be – or even should be – the nominee, but relegating him to the dustbin of political history over a few on stage flubs seems to be a waste of tremendous potential.”

You are clueless about Texas politics. The Texas governor is the LEAST powerful in the nation. He can't pardon anyone without permission of a board.
About all he can do is sign passed legislation and cheer-lead.

Any of this sound vaguely familiar to anyone else?
Anyone got a dust-pan?
