Rick Perry’s run for president will ensure that the next Governor and Lt Governor will be Democrats.

It will hurt him, IMHO, but I don't think he was going to make it to the top anyway. I think that he'll keep going because he's got the cashola.

Stage fright is not a good thing in a presidential candidate. I laughed along with most everyone else at his brain fart, but I have to say that I agree with the closing of those particular departments -- especially the Department of Education. Send control of schools back home where it belongs. Parents and local schools are better suited to ensure little Johnny can read and write than a bunch of bureaucrats in Washington talking bureaucrap.

It's strange how one little slip like this can ruin a candidacy. I'm not a fan of his anyway; I would vote for Cain in the primary, but even though it shouldn't kill his chances, I believe it will. Maybe he needs a tele-prompter? Perhaps BO has a spare he can lend Perry for the balance of the campaign.

Send him to Iraq

He's better suited to be a vp than a president. He's right up there with Biden and Quayle.

Please keep him in Texas!
