Not a chance. The radioactive catastrophic disaster of a president George W Bush will hang around his neck like a millstone. Fortunately for the GOP (and the country) Perry won't get nomination.
It could be great news for Texastoo if Rick would resign to devote full-time to his campaign for president.
That's what my father thought after Iran contra, but the republican party never dies. People have short term memory and four years is a lifetime in politics. We cannot under-estimate whatever nominee the gop throws out there. All are dangerous, very determined and geniuses at propaganda.
Not that it'd happen, but I'd love to see Perry get the nomination and lose Texas in the general election.
