Secondly, all these Republicans that hate Washington, D.C., who want to make D.C. inconsequential in your life, sure do want to move into the White House in 2013, don't they?

I do not take Rick Perry for granted. He has not been the longest sitting Governor of Texas for nothing. But I agree with Joe Scarborough, Rick Perry will say anything to get elected.

The pounding of Rick Perry is starting in the MSM.

First part of Daily Rundown on Rick Perry:

Personally, it does not matter who is the GOP nominee, but if you want GOP de-energized voters, then go the Romney route (Teabaggers don't care about electability); if you want energized GOP voters, then Rick Perry. I do think Independents will listen to Romney over Perry. The thing about Perry is that he is a clear TEXAS REMINDER OF GEORGE W. BUSH. Which, I think Independents will pause HARD before pulling the lever for Perry. Just my thoughts...
