So if he was able to achieve great success by using government funds to create jobs in his state at a much greater rate than any other state.....then I assume the other 49 governors must be total morons.
I mean...they didnt perform nearly as well as the "dumb guy"
Correct?
The other 49 states don't have oil fields and defense companies in their backyards. Look Perry may have been smart enough not to refuse government contracts but anything not dealing with those industries directly is in dismal shape.
I followed George W. Bush's campaign very closely..and I have to tell you..Bush was a likable guy. Even if you hated everything about conservatives and republicans it's hard not to like Bush. He was quick witted, very charming and he didn't have a racist or bigotted bone in his body. He came off very well in public and in debates. It was the "aw shucks, maybe not the brightest guy in the room" sort of thing that even the most jaded are drawn too. Perry has none of that.
So, are you saying that the bottom line deciding factor in Presidential elections is charisma?
Ask Walter Mondale or Mike Dukakis
