In case you thought the Republican party was coming to it's senses, Politico has a jaw-dropping story on why Primary voters are clamoring for Rick Perry to get in the race, while rank-and-file party members see him as “Will Ferrell doing a George W. Bush imitation” according to a republican bigwig.
-Multiple former Hutchison advisers recalled asking a focus group about the charge that Perry may have presided over the execution of an innocent man — Cameron Todd Willingham — and got this response from a primary voter: “It takes balls to execute an innocent man.”
-Among Perry supporters, the case for the governor is clear: In an election focused on jobs and the economy, Perry has presided over more job growth than any other governor — an issue that resonates all over the map. (Unmentioned is the fact that Texas did well during the economic slump ONLY because it's economy revolves around OIL and the price of oil was through the roof for most of the recession)
-“If he’s the nominee, the first thing the White House is going to do is make an issue of secession.” (Really? You think?)
