Actually, I think Perry could survive in the VP slot and it would be salable as a pro-growth ticket.

Pro-growth in what? Debt? Perry’s real good at it:

Despite Perry’s Tough Budget Talk, Texas’ Debt Growing Faster Than The Nation’s

From 2001 to 2010, state debt alone grew from $13.4 billion to $37.8 billion, according to the Texas Bond Review Board. That’s an increase of 281 percent. Over the same time, the national debt rose almost 234 percent. […]

Still, the trend is undeniable. While Texas lawmakers have refused to raise taxes — and often criticize Washington for borrowing and spending — the state has been paying for much of its expansion with borrowed money.

And that’s with a Republican governor, a Republican lieutenant governor, and a Republican super-majority in the legislature. None of this can be laid at the feet of the Dems, since they’re either useless or indistinguishable from the freaks in the Texas GOP.

What “pro-growth” policies?
