Now that Governor Perry is in the race, let's take a look at where we are. It seems to me that Perry is the latest flavor, in which there have been many.
It started with Trump, but he flamed out pretty quickly. Cain seemed to catch some folk's fancy for awhile. Then Bachmann seemed to catch fire, but that appears to be peaking. Now, there's Perry. Perry seems to be someone who will appeal to your gut instincts, for better or worse. Bachmann seems to be poised while under attack. She will need to be, because she will be. Cain talked tough about Islam, but seems to have backpedaled. Trump wasn't trusted as a real Republican. Which way to turn? There are plusses and minuses to each candidate.
One more candidate not mentioned a whole lot, but seems to be percolating a bit is of Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. After watching a couple of his videos, I think he could be a contender. Ryan seems to me to be someone who will appeal to your intellect. I haven't seen anything yet that may be considered a minus. Here's a video of Ryan, which I got from his YouTube channel:
Can Ryan win? Or is it too early for him? He is quite young, by political standards. He is only 41. He would have a long way to go.
