President Perry?

Personally, if I were to be voting a future president, Rick Perry would not be my first choice. Sure, he sets out some good points, but he not the kind of person I see as President of the United States. Honestly, after his flub at the debate, I don't think he really has a shot at winning the Republican nomination. Obviously, Perry will not be winning because of his way with words as we saw at the GOP debate where Perry forgot his own policy ideas. Perry has slipped down in the polls; he will most likely become the least likely candidate to win the GOP nomination.

Rick Perry's state of Texas is left in shambles as its debt has nearly doubled since he became governor. Perry has yet to address the issues of his fellow Texans. Supposedly, he has reduced the debt in Texas, but in actuality, the reforms that Texans needed are not being given to them such as mental institution reforms. Perry is neglecting his own state for the GOP campaign. With the United States already experiencing financial problems, why would we want to put our economy in the hands of Rick Perry? God only knows what would happen to our already climbing national debt. This reason alone could be the deciding factor on why Perry could lose the camapign for GOP nomination. He may say that he can reduce the national debt, but how can we trust him with what's happening in Texas?

Oh gosh, it was extremely difficult to find something good to stay about Rick Perry's campaign chances, but I guess that one advantage that Perry has are his conservative beliefs. Perry's strong conservative beliefs compared to other candidates like Mitt Romney (who has been known to be playing both fields currently) will get him far in the GOP nomination. Though Perry has made some major gaffes/flubs during his campaign, Perry can most likely still count on his conservative voters (the backlands Republicans who currently are angered with Romney). One difficulty that Perry will face if he wins nomination is maintaining the votes of the Republicans while trying to gain Democratic votes as well to win the general election. Perry must keep his conservative base if he seeks to go anywhere further in the elections.
