Perry will never be elected president, ever. I don't think he could even get the Republican nomination. Any Republican that donates money to his campaign is throwing his or her money down the drain.
The only reason he won the governorship so many times is because the Democratic party in Texas are fragmented, unorganized and don't seem to have any idea what they're doing.

I think Perry meant to say "incident" and not "accident", but it only underscores how ill-prepared he is in front of cameras.. and rustic.. his ego must be enormous to trot out another Presidential campaign after the previous debacle.

I have no CLUE why he decided to run again. Doesn't seem too bright.
