re: #18 Uncle Meat

Local talk radio station here in Austin played some clips of Perry giving a speech recently, trying hard to sound all presidential-y. A caller said Perry sounded like he was doing an impression of Will Ferrel doing an impression of GW Bush. The host agreed. We’ll see how far Perry gets with a reception like that…

Goodhair, out of the current pack of governors who are rumored to be on the candidacy short list, will probably play well with the GOP base. He practically oozes religious nuttery, claims “success” in Texas even as the state slowly sinks into debt (despite chucking everyone with a less than six-figure salary over the side), and plays well to the “states rights” crowd because he’s pressed a “secession” button a few dozen times.

Frankly, I’d be surprised if he didn’t receive he nomination, assuming he ever jumped into the pool. The question is now is “Will he or won’t he?”
