Insiders Think Perry Will Run for President
The latest Texas Weekly/Texas Tribune Inside Intelligence survey

http://www.texastribune.org/texas-polling/inside-intelligence/insiders-on-rick-perry-and-the-presidential-race/

-- a poll of Texas political insiders -- finds that 58% think Gov. Rick Perry (R) will run for president, despite his insistence that he's not interested.

However, only 22% think he should run, while 70% say he shouldn't.

1. Some of us here called it a week or so ago

What a clown Goodhair is. He and Caribou Barbie can out-crazy each other fighting to get the GOP nod while Huckabee and Mittens tiptoe to the top of the roster.

[Horse with no Name]

10. Some of us called it wayyyy before that

[MilesColtrane]

21. And some of us, even before that.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=385&topic_id=32765&mesg_id=32823

Heck, I even made this faux bumper sticker before the post above.

[Jack Rabbit]

2. Do they mean President of the US or of the Republic of Texas?

Curious minds want to know.

[AspenRose]

23. EXCELLENT question.

:thumbsup:

[Richardo]

3. I hope he does...

...he'll be mightily embarrassed at how poorly he does. He so used to GOP fawning in Texas it'll be a sweet, rude awakening.

[Stinky The Clown]

4. Sure he will. So will Chris Christie from NJ. Barbour will run. Maybe even Jindal.

So what? Only one will win the nomination. I don't know who the other half of the ticket will be - or even who will be on top, but Christie will be part of it.

[Mz Pip]

9. Here's my dark horse:

Pawlenty from MN. He's smart and can keep his crazy hidden.

[Lochloosa]

11. I agree. He would be a formidable opponent.

[texastoast]

22. Sorry.

Not as good looking (although Perry looks very soulless and worn these days). And there was an entire website devoted to pointing out that Perry was too cowardly to debate Bill White. We demanded that he face us with answers. And he never did. And he won anyway because the Texas voters, 67 PERCENT OF WHOM VOTED FOR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE PRIMARIES, voted in His Slickness.

25. John Thune from SD also keeps his craziness well hidden. He is a nutcase fundamentalist. nt

[AlinPA]

29. That's what I think about Rubio. He will be on the ticket. nt

[notesdev]

5. Easy call to make

Southern "moderate" governor being invited to Bilderberg? Couldn't telegraph it more clearly if they took out billboards.

[Mz Pip]

6. Because that

secession thingy isn't going anywhere. :eyes:

[efhmc]

7. While block walking for White, I told everyone I was

talking to that this was Perry's intent. Been known for a year or more in Texas by anyone paying attention to his right wing, headline grabbing antics. He is even worse than bush! Goddess save our nation.

[w8liftinglady]

24. Oy..I experienced the same thing in Ellis and Henderson counties...

so many uninformed,poverty-level voters here...simply voting for the "Christian"party.

[texastoast]

30. Oh, I had one

Who was voting for Perry because "he's a good Christian man." I asked her if a good Christian man would advocate the TransTexas Corridor, taking away rich farm and ranch land that had been in Texan families for generations. Her reply? "I'm a Yankee, so I don't give a damn about Texas."

[UTUSN]

8. Well, we knew he is a liar but his first crisis will be to answer to the BLATANCY of it. n/t

[barbtries]

12. a perry-palin ticket

SHOULD guarantee re-election for the democrat. at least he's not a bush.

[asjr]

15. Sarah would push for a Palin-Perry ticket.

[texastoast]

18. The white men won't like that

When it really comes down to it.

[w8liftinglady]

20. lol...you know Texas Repub males well!

[texastoast]

28. He used to come to my law office

I worked for trial lawyers and Perry was a Dem. When he got the word that the corporations were going to go for tort reform big time in Texas in the early 90s (so many of them would move here and get their corporate welfare in a corporate welfare-friendly environment), Perry switched parties. Any way the wind blows so long as it is at Perry's back and supporting Rick. Somewhere along the line, he made the deal with the devil.

[texastoast]

17. He's become even slimier than Bush was

Not Karl Rove, though. Yet. He will probably hire Karl as a consultant.

[KamaAina]

31. Perry/Palin '12: Dumb and Dumber

:dunce:

[AnArmyVeteran]

13. LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!

But I laughed when another dunce from Texas ran for president too. Our country is in decay when corrupt morons can get elected.

[northoftheborder]

14. He'll just refuse to debate or meet with paper editors, ...

....and try to fool everyone....like he did in Texas.

[texastoast]

16. It will be a Perry/Palin ticket

And the freepers are thanking all of you in Texas who stayed home and didn't vote for Bill White.

Hope you are all looking forward to 2012.

[w8liftinglady]

19. no shit....and,knowing my neighbors,they will be out in droves to vote for him/her

while they struggle to pay their bills,get medical care,feed their families...etc,ad nauseum.

[Javaman]

26. Fine. let him run. maybe he will resign as govenor.

if it takes him running to get out of Texas office, I'm all for it.

[AlinPA]

27. That's a good teabagger ticket with Palin-Perry. The only one who can beat Palin is J. Bush. nt

[WolverineDG]

32. at least that would get his ass out of the governor's chair

but holy hell, if he's elected president, I'm leaving.

33. The 2012 NH Republican primary ballot will look like the one...

that put Schwarzenegger into the California governor's mansion. It had about 200 people on it, and 95 percent of them probably got about a hundred votes apiece.

This is serious: right now, EVERY Republican, including Palin, Perry, Gingrich, Boner, Haley Barbour, Bob McDonnell and Chris Christie thinks he or she can beat President Obama in 2012. Since it only costs $1000 to file for the NH Primary, they will ALL run.

By the time we're out of Super Tuesday, I think we'll be rid of everyone except Gingrich, McDonnell, Barbour and Christie.

[NuclearDem]

34. Yes! Another Texan in the WH!

You know, since the last one went so well.

[efhmc]

36. This one would actually be a Texan, the other one was

a Connecticut Yankee.

[NoPasaran]

35. I certainly wouldn't be surprised

Beating the Democratic candidate for governor every four years has ceased to be a challenge. A man's got to move on.

And all you non-Texans who dismiss him as an idiot with a good haircut... watch out!

[applegrove]

37. If people like Perry and Bolton try and get the nomination they will divide up

the race so much Sarah Palin and her base of 20% will be winning from the get go. We can only hope!!!

[Liquorice]

38. I think I'm going to be sick. I can't even stand the thought of that awful campaign. nt

[Hawkowl]

39. Well duh!!!
