Pretty Ricky Is What They Call Him : Gov Perry Runs for President
Years back in the sitcom "Martin" ,there was a skit about Martin Lawrence's class reunion.In this class reunion Martin did battle with the class favorite ,"Pretty Ricky " is what they called him.
In today's political world Governor Rick Perry of Texas will emerge as one the GOP candidate's to challenge President Barack Obama.
Governor Perry and myself had the opportunity to talk job creation several years back.
The Texas economy is one of the pillars that Governor Perry will be running on. Texas as you know is a right to work state ,with an inexhaustible supply of labor from across the border.(We can talk illegal immigration another time).
One of the strong suits that Governor Perry has going for him is that the GOP field is still trying to field a frontrunner that has energized the base.Governor Sarah Palin and Speaker Newt Gingrich are making more money being themselves and selling their books ,appearances etc . Michelle Bachman is making inroads and appears to be a "Tea Party" favorite and Governor Mitt Romney moderate appeal f or swing voters is not helping him with the GOP faithful .Also he signed a health care legislation in Massachusetts that reminds some GOP of Obamacare. Just a quick note to my GOP friends before any other criticisms of Obamacare,you got to admit OBAMACARE looks a lot like the health care proposals championed by 1996 GOP presidential candidate ,Bob Dole.
Bottom Line , Governor Perry has just steered Texas through a special session , and he is visiting key states and calling folks in key states such as in Iowa ,and South Carolina.
Testing the waters no doubt .It's a matter of time before "Pretty Ricky" will be in the race.The biggest obstacle that Governor Rick might have in regards to getting traction for the GOP nomination,is Texas Fatigue .People might be tired of Governors from Texas.

Texas fatigue will not be his drawback but rather his inconsistencies that he has in dealing with conservatives in the past. Gardasil? TTC?
I'm a Texan and a Republican, but I do not want Perry to run. He has ran and served in public life for more than 25 years, not the appeal that tea partiers have looked for seeing as though they have the 'throw the bums out' mentality and term limits.
I think before the Iowa Caucus most GOPers if not the country will figure out there is no 'there' 'there'...
Excellent Post --- Awesome !
Right Now I like Perry-Cain !
