Rick Perry does not want to be Vice President
AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry has no interest in national politics and may seek re-election in 2010, his chief political consultant said Friday.
Dave Carney said speculation that recent decisions by Perry, including his mandate that middle-school girls be inoculated against a sexually transmitted virus linked to cervical cancer, are designed to raise the governor’s profile nationally are “one of the most retarded things about the political observers in Texas.”
“He hates Washington. He doesn’t like to go there,” Carney said.
I just thought it would be a good idea to put this out there so that in the future I can find it, just in case. I would say even if he did have aspirations to be vice president that
they were dashed when he failed to carry a majority of Texans for
governor. I just don’t think anyone is going to be courting a governor who won with 39% of the vote for vice president. What good would it do, he couldn’t even hypothetically carry Texas for them. Of course, I am pretty sure the GOP has no worries about carrying Texas so why would a presidential candidate be looking in Texas for a running mate.
What a hoot? Dave Carney called the Texas political observers retarded. I know that is a word I don’t use in my vocabulary and I really thought that was something that politicians would attempt to avoid. I guess I was wrong.
