Figmo in another thread is skeptical about supporting a candidate from Texas. Meaning no disrespect, I think that opinion which I have heard from others, is short sighted.

Gov. Perry has a great story, comes from a solid All-American family with values to match, and seems to have been bred and nurtured to take on this job while all the while doing all the right things.

Unlike our inexperienced current President who was raised in exotic locales outside the U.S. and spent all his life in academia and in Democrat controlled cities, Gov. Perry was born and raised in the heartland of America and spent his life loving God and country.

The clincher for me in the upcoming elections is that Gov. Perry, unlike almost every other contender, has a charisma and ability to translate his goal of a return to American greatness that has not been on display in this country for a long, long time. I relish a debate between this man and Obama.

Take the time to read this excellent article from the U.K.'s Telegraph that tells the story better than I can. Leave it to the Brits to have a headline that's a little regrettable when it concerns U.S. government, but they have their own traditions and sense of drama.
