One of the most dangerous men in America

Texas governor Rick Perry, who is thinking about running for President, in considering how much the almost-certifiable Michelle Bachmann appeals to the Tea Partly-crazy flox, and is also considering how much money Mitt Romney has in his campaign coffers. Romney is a non-issue; he has zero, nada, zilch chance of getting through the primary season. His Mormonism, his stance on climate change, his prior record on health care, his lack of endorsement for many tenets of the Tea Party gospel of nuttiness -- no chance.

But Perry has conservative appeal, and he's run a state -- Texas. Never mind that he's running it into the ground, he's still on record as running it. Plus, damn the luck, he looks good doing it. All that "secession" talk -- he'll say he was just trying to make a point and didn't really mean it. Pretty soon I'll have to see how much Perry has been researched and how many other of his out-there conservatism is on the record.
