It is a crowded field, but he is actually trending really high in Zogby and a couple of other polls. It is..I hope..only going to be him, Paul, Christie, Ryan and maybe Carson. Next to impossible to get rid of Bachmann, Perry and Palin. Branstad is impressive but doesnt have an icecubes chance.
And amazingly W would be much more qualified than Perry. I read somewhere that if Perry and GW were in the same family GW would be considered the smart one.
Read up on Jeb's son, daughter, and wife. Combine the weird family with the Mrs. Doubtfire physicality and he is Texas Toast. He's a no go with no mojo.
Just my thoughts on Gov Perry or Sen Cruz and the Republican Party in general. No way can I or would I vote for Gov Perry, Sen Cruz and until the Republican Party finds a candidate who is a moderate I will have a very difficult time voting for their candidate.
