Note to Perry: This ain’t Texas politics anymore
Rick Perry probably wishes he was just running around Texas right now. He probably wishes Texas was that “whole other country” our state’s Tourism likes to market. But it isn’t and now Perry’s on a much bigger stage in terms of campaigns. While he might want the rest of the nation to act and think like we Texans they don’t. The problem is he and his staff of cronies started his campaign out thinking that way but trying to act like the other candidates. It’s really been a campaign of trying to mimic the others, from the start. He’s tried to kiss every baby he could at the Iowa State Fair, hit every barbecue in South Carolina, and get gussied up for every debate in the long schedule of GOP primary debates up to now. The problem is that isn’t working for his campaign. So it looks like instead of trying to keep up with the other candidates, he’s going to circle back and campaign his way instead – fewer debates and less press. The big question is how well that’ll work on the national stage.
