Perry is clearly the alpha male in almost any room.

A Dominionist! I hated those shape-shifting b*stards! Except for Odo, he was a good guy. Maybe Perry is, too.

texexec,
Thanks for the excellent links about Perry. A whole lot of information there by a man who seems fair minded.

I’m sending these to all my e-mail correspondents.

My take so far is that Perry will be a formidable candidate. Not on his band wagon yet, but he looks good.

Sergey:
At least, he looks very presidential…

In addition, he has much more executive experience than âˆ…bama: 8 years as TX Agricultural Commissioner, 2 years as Lieutenant Governor, and 10 1/2 years as Governor.

But no experience as Community Organizer, as far as I can tell.

At least, he looks very presidental. If somebody in Holywood look for an actor who can play some fictional POTUS, a man with such face and manners would be exellent choice. There is something Reagan-like in his facial features, too.

A contributor to C4P thinks Palin is “alley cat smart” and has a grand strategy that will only make sense in hind-sight. I don’t know if I agree with his analysis but it makes for interesting reading. The key for her is to make it a 3-way race instead of a 2-way race.

Here’s an article that refutes most if not all of the “negatives” being brought against Perry:

Again, it’s required reading with an open mind.

One futjer note.

The press would want o make Palin look soo incredibly bad that they could then say “even Obama wasn’t THIS incompetent.” It would be their way of saving face, rewarding their emotional investment in Obama and justifying the pandering thay did for this current administration

W/ regard to the Palin referncees above:

I’ve been a Palin fan since she first appeared on the national scene (with McCain’s announcement of her as VP candidate) but I hope she doesn’t run in this cycle. Rathtyen (12:35 above) notes that the “eye of Morder” has moved off her looking for a better target. I disagree. It’s looking for an ACTIVE target. As long as Palin doesnt’ run, she’s not seen as a direct threat.

I think that she can have more influence on the outcome of the election as a spoiler from the outside. She can gin up substantial support for whichever candidate she supports and help to draw the fire away from him/her.

If she runs, she may not be able to win because of the press demonization of the past. That will all become active again–the Katie Couric and Charles Gibson interviews will not die in short order. Even if she did win, the press would make her administration a living Hell. Her administration would begin where the press left off with G W Bush and after 18 months of media obfuscation, mis-direction and contributing to as many obstacles as possible, they would say “see, we told you she was incompetent.”
