I'm not wild about Perry. He beat Harvard College graduate (and UT Law Review member) Bill White for the governorship last year and mocked White's Ivy background. Perry's just another dumb Aggie in my book.

I am not wild about Perry, either, but I am sure relieved that White did not come close in the election for governor.
Nothing personal against the Ivies or UT. My best friend was a Harvard undergard and editor of the UT Law Review.
What I really like about the Republican-dominated government in Texas is no income tax, effective tort reform, sensible lending regulation, great roads, and all the other factors which have contributed to a fiendly business climate and the expanding Texas economy. To the extent that Perry represents these policies and values effectively, I am in his corner!
