Thank you for your intelligent analysis of Perry's main obstacles to overcome. The ones you mentioned, plus this: As a Texas governor, whether fairly or unfairly, he might remind some voters of W, and that ain't a good thing.

My main goal is the defeat of Obama in 2012, and I'll support the candidate who has the best chance of doing that.

I agree. I do draw the line, though, on social, moral issues (abortion, homosexuality). I will never, knowingly, vote for a professed, confirmed pro-abort. So, Giuliani, for instance, would never get my vote.

My sentiments as well. Hopefully it's an ugly choice we won't have to make, the Republican party would be patently insane to put forth such an absurdly sinful presidential nominee.
