Red State agrees with me

Why Governor Perry [the most dangerous man in America] is still likely to be nominated

Rick Perry is not an able debater. In fact he seems to be bored with the entire exercise and I don’t blame him for that. The process that currently passes for “debate” is a valueless mixture of antagonistic press conference and TV quiz show. Rick Perry is not a policy wonk. Neither was Ronald Reagan. Neither was Dwight Eisenhower. Neither was George Washington.

What Governor Perry does have is:

• A demonstrated ability to win elections.
• A demonstrated understanding of how to lead and govern.
• A Reaganesque capacity to touch the “mystic chords of memory” that bind us together.
• A large stockpile of cash.
• A set of opponents who all have significant electoral problems of their own.

Perry is still a very real threat to become the next President of the United States. And that therefore means that he is still very dangerous to the future of this country.
