Oh, I misunderstood.

I don't agree with the list, several names missing I would like added...I rolled with what was served up.

We are a long way off from a choice, at least I hope it's a choice...I can't stand another Ruiling Class coronation!!!

This whole business of starting the process two years before election day makes me want to puke . All it does is give the pundits something to beat their gums about and engage in their usual partisan persiflage . I long for the days of my youth when , as an example , Robert Kennedy didn't declare his candidacy until early in 1968 ( I think it was around February or March but don't quote me .) . Most people would say today that that's way too late but if Kennedy hadn't been killed he stood a pretty fair chance of beating Richard Nixon ... Although I'm glad he didn't .

Tangentially:

Fox will present a presidential debate May 5. 
This was confirmed yesterday during a bit on Rick Santorum.

Perry now says he's considering a run...

Pandora now says someone with some balls ought to consider asking him about legislating every young girl must get vaccinated with Gardisil, and about endorsing the plan for that enormous highway from Mexico, bisecting MY COUNTRY, to Canada which was loosely connected with NAFTA.

The Republican Hispanic Conference endorsed Gov. Rick Perry for president Thursday, saying they hope an endorsement will pressure Mr. Perry to enter the race for president.

Although the governor has not officially entered the race for president, we hope our endorsement will encourage him to do so,” said conference chairman Rep. Aaron Peña, R-Edinburg. “Rick Perry has been good for Texas and the members of the conference join many across the state and the country who think he would be great for the nation.”

That's all I need to know--not that he was on my list to begin with.

............ Bobby Jindal would have been holding press conferences.

Bobby's never been scared of getting face time for the cameras. Especially when he's spouting sh*t.

In the latest installment of a continuing series, Karl Denninger weighs in on Perry's candidacy:

Governor "Sexual Assault" Perry Wants To Be President?

Quote
This is the same Rick Perry who watched his Lieutenant Governor kill the bill in Texas just this week that would have made searches that would be sexual assaults if performed by anyone else crimes when performed by the TSA without probable cause.

When threatened by the Federal Government, instead of telling them to pound sand, fully aware that both IAH (Bush International) and DFW (Dallas Ft. Worth) airports are massive hubs and had the government actually shut down traffic in Texas it would have screwed the government - and the airlines - far worse than it would have screwed Texas - he folded.

You want this man as President?  You vote for him in the primaries you're voting to have yourself, your wife or your son or daughter sexually assaulted not only at airports but at school functions such as prom.

Quote
Saturday night, a certified TSA official will be at the Santa Fe High School prom to oversee student searches.
After this hit the news they backed down - this time.

If we have President Perry, you can take to the bank that you will be rape-searched repeatedly at ever opportunity.  After all, Governor Perry won't stand up and demand that this conduct meet with criminal prosecution when conducted without probable cause in an airport.

The governor in Texas has no authority over the LT Governor. IOW, there is absolutely nothing Perry could have done.

I'm not sure I would be a supporter either for Perry, but to be fair, you have to give him a pass on this one issue. In Texas, the LT. Governor has all the power.

The Governor can't even fire and replace the Lt. Governor?  That's a screwy system.  Why would anyone bother to run for Governor?  Shouldn't they run for Lt. Governor instead?

Not only a screwy system but inaccurate reporting that makes assumptions and reports them as fact creates doubt to the accuracy of other facts reported by the author.

Did Perry pick the Lt. Governor to run on his ticket (as Presidential candidates choose their running mate), or are the two offices separate electoral races?

The Lieutenant Governor is elected separately from the Governor, rather than on the same ticket; it is therefore possible for the Governor and Lieutenant Governor to be from different political parties ...

Wiki.

In this case, they're both Republicans.

Are they elected as together as our President and Vice President or do they run independent of each other?

I'm not sure what you mean by independent of each other when, as stated above, they run separate races, one for each position, and can be of different parties.

So the Governor has no power over the Lt. Governor?  That is wack, as the young'uns say.  Again, why would anyone bother running for Governor when they could run for Lt. Governor?
