I think Rick Perry is my favorite GOP candidate in terms of policy. Im very proud he is the governor of my state running for President. He takes a lot of undeserved crap in Texas from both conservatives and liberals. Unfortunately, I dont think he is politically savvy enough for the national stage and Im just not sure he has the charisma. He needs to keep in mind he is running for President of the United States - not President of Texas. Those Dems in Washington are much more vicious and despicable vermon than the ones in Texas, and Im not sure he is concious enough of that. I heard him talking about the travesty of half this country not paying any federal income tax - and he is ofcourse 100% right about that - but the Dems are going to turn that on him and make it seem like he doesnt care about poor people.
