Although he is not my favorite, I do believe you're correct.
They would beat Obama hands down.
W was simply a more shrewd and charismatic George H W Bush with a cowboy costume and pretend ranch, an ivy league northeastern liberal pretending to be a cowboy to fool the masses.
Rick Perry is the real deal.
Not my favorite either but you can’t always get what you want. Beating Obama is the goal.
I believe Bachman has peaked and is now on the way out.
Sounds like the spread for any generic Republican, but I think ultimately Perry can snag more women and maybe even the young if he keeps talking like he is (about Social Security, etc).
FWIW I think that’s better than any other Republican does.
What were Bush’s numbers with women?
Perry could well win this BIG if trends keep up.
If unemployment is 10%+, Rubio is VP (let’s discuss eligibility if we must, but hear me out), and Perry’s the nominee, we could be looking at at least a 1988 style landslide, if not 1980.
No wonder the libs and Romneybots are in panic mode...
“So much for the sexy Perry meme.”
The women polled who pick the dems are getting stuff from govternment, or think they are.
Free school breakfasts and lunches, free health care, etc.
It isn’t just Perry. It is almost any Republican.
Yup...looking more like that every day. He could very well run away with it.
I’ve heard he’s mediocre but able to hold his own.
We can live with that.
I find it interesting that Ras included Cain this week and not Ron Paul. What is even more interesting is that if you include the 8% generic repulican lead over Obama, Cain should have a 1 point lead. I might be wrong, but that is huge! Go Herman!
If someone moves to Ohio at the age of 2, is raised here, goes to elementary and Jr. High here, marries an Ohio girl and lives here for the rest of his life, then that person is an Ohioan.
I understand your reservations about GHWB, since he moved there as an adult, but there's no way you're right about GWB. WHen he went 'up east' he hated it there because he didn't fit in.
Sorry, but you're wrong here.
No argument that Rick Perry is the 'real deal,' but your exclusivity as to who belongs to your Texas club just doesn't wash.
Bush had an enormous lead with married women, and lost to Gore and Kerry with single women.
And they say we are not a big tent party.
Well, at least we won’t have to hear a gravelly, tired voice rambling on mindlessly about whatever comes through his head at the time (McCain).
He knows what a real Texan is, he can do a pretty good job of playing the part having been around them most of his life, but at his core the influence his Yankee urban rich parents had on him in his youth combined with the influence attending a north eastern ivy league college had on him in his formative young adult years will always taint his values and his core principles.
LOL!
I like Cain too, but I'm not seeing your logic here.
