Governor Perry to the Rescue?

The GOP establishment is worried.  The current field of Presidential nomination hopefuls does not warm the dark spots in their hearts.  And this is quite understandable.

While Tim Pawlenty and Mitt Romney are well qualified politicians with proven executive experience, both lack a broad public appeal.  And Romney’s a Mormon, you know.

The rest of the field prompts the proverbial, “who’s that?

The prospects of Michele Bachman or Sarah Palin entering the race is also scary.  What if one of them won?  It would be a second term for President Obama with plenty of money left over.

Jon Huntsman is also rumored to be considering.  He is far more charismatic than Romney and has no record of being a flip-flopper on key issues.  But he is starting as “Jon who”, and the real issues is, can he raise the amounts of money that will be needed?

Governor Rick Perry looks appealing to big GOP money.  He reminds people of the other Texan Governor, George W Bush.  Under Karl Rove’s tender care, “W” was elected.  Why not again?

While “W” was a dismal President and someone who has left a record of failure on all fronts, maybe Perry would be different.  For my money, “W” was one too many Bushes.  And, if Perry is Karl Rove’s friend, then he’s no friend of mine.  What about you?
