  1. =============
    Ronald Reagan...''probably''?;
    he was on Gods side & did a victory landslide .......................

    Rick Perry may win, he is like President Reagan & may get plenty of what they call Reagan democrats;
    not a prediction.

    With the attempted gov takeover of healthcare becoming more unconstitutional by most every courtcase;
    Mr. M Romney maybe a downtrend of defeat

    :D

  2. This magazine cover from TEXAS MONTHLY (fyi-tends to lean left, sometimes way left) IMO sums up Perry's biggest talent.

    "Forget about death and taxes. Today, there are only two sure things in life: Every few years Rick Perry will run for office, and every few years Rick Perry will grind his opponents into dust. Since 1984, the man once derided as “Governor Good Hair” has participated in ten contested elections and won all of them. A few were against relatively weak opposition, but many were against prominent figures who were expected to give Perry a run for his money. Jim Hightower, John Sharp, Tony Sanchez, Chris Bell, Carole Keeton Strayhorn, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Bill White—you could competently govern a medium-sized republic with political talent like that. But all of them fell to Perry’s deep coffers, disciplined campaign style, occasional refusal to debate, and (semi-) popularity among Texans. What is it like to run against the man who may well be the most successful state politician in Texas history? To find out, we spoke to eleven people with intimate knowledge of what is, after dying and paying taxes, the most unpleasant experience a politician can endure. Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Barack Obama: Read closely."

  3. Every politician's political skill is secondary to campaigning ability.

  4. In what to me is pretty shocking, Texas Gov. Rick Perry has jumped to a big lead in national polls. Gallup has Perry leading Mittens 29-17.


    Not so shocking is Newt's 4%; really Newt, give it up.
