With the popularity of Glee I think this is Steve Perry's chance to ride that wave to the Whitehouse. He's already got a great campaign slogan. DON'T STOP BELIEVIN!

You must be kidding. Dewhurst isn't half a bad as Perry. Not even close. Sure, he's a weak leader, one of the weakest Lt. Governors in many a moon (the weakest I can recall, and I can recall a bunch of them), and he's more than happy to roll over with his feet in the air, rather than tick off the Far Right/Fundamentalist wing of the GOP, but Dewey would be a vast improvement over Perry, all things being relative.
No love on here for Commodore Perry? Sure, he's little long in the tooth, by which I mean he's been dead for 150 years, but he has the military experience and the foreign policy chops to be a great President. Plus, he looks a little like a chubby Steve Forbes, so you know he'd be good on TV.
Austin Powers: Not the time to lose one's head. Vanessa Kensington: No. Austin Powers: That's not the way to get ahead in life. Vanessa Kensington: No. Austin Powers: It's a shame he wasn't more headstrong. Vanessa Kensington: Hmm. Austin Powers: He'll never be the head of a major corporation. Vanessa Kensington: Okay, that'll do. Austin Powers: Okay.
