There are a few vocal anti-Perry Texans who post here frequently and I am sure Perry has upset a few powerful people during his long tenure as Governor.

This is a good endorsement from an insider and it reinforces my opinion that Perry is not perfect but he might be the perfect man for the job. I am still waiting to see what Palin does but at this point I could enthusiastically support Perry for President. I really hope Cain lands in the next administration in a capacity that will allow him to shine because I have been very impressed with him too.

I like our chances to not only defeat Obama but roll back his progressive agenda with Perry.

I dunno, I’m looking at past Congressional and Presidential history and I won’t hold my breath.

What has been repealed in America - ever ?

Only a President with the same level of audacity of Obama but the opposite principles, combined with a bunch of “main street” part-time amateur citizen politicians with a majority in both houses of Congress would “roll back” very much, IMHO.

Which hopefully we’ll get in 2012.

I guess that makes me an optimistic pessimist or vicy-versy.

We don't need perfect. We don't want to be starry-eyed, and we don't need a candidate we're obligated to be loyal to because we "sold" him to the US, like we did Bush. Perry's is thankfully not one with aristocratic New England airs like the Bush family. I'm coming to believe that much of the Bush failures came from their slothful, idle and self-indulgent wives and daughters. Keep those Bush women far from power.

Perry is much better for America than Obama. Period. (So, for that matter, is Romney. I hope we do better than Romney, but I'll get behind Mittens if I absolutely have to.)

That is the only argument we have to make. We don't have to sell Perry as "Mr. Wonderful" because we already have Mr. Ghastly-Awful in the WH.

When people point out Perry's imperfections, learn to *shrug*--"Yeah, well, tell me how wonderful Obama is before you tell me about how you hate on Goodhair." That'll shut a lib up real fast. All he'll have left is to cause you racist because you won't vote for his Pretty Princess President.
