Perry was an embarrasment on the national stage with his run for president and you think he will want to select him as VP (he adds nothing to the ticket--heck he is beating Obama in Texas by only one-point according to latest poll), and then let Joe Biden loose against him in a debate.

After eight disastrous years under Dumbya, I can't imagine Americans electing another idiot Repuke Governor from Texas to any position in the near future.

Then again, many Americans have short memories.

and fulfill her dream of being able to...how did she put it? "See Putin's head looming over her back porch"??? Sounds marginally sexual.
