If Texas Gov. Rick Perry is “seriously considering running for president,” as my Examiner colleague Phil Klein reported (http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/2011/06/reports-rick-perry-white-house-bid-looking-more-likely - broken link), he has a ready-made campaign issue that could be his ace in the hole.
“Since the recovery began, 38 percent of all the jobs created in American have been created in the State of Texas,” Dallas Federal Reserve president Richard Fisher told CNBC’s “The Squawk Reserve” Tuesday.

Everyone should watch this 2009 video. It's called "Texas Succeeding." If Perry decides to run and his people can update the video, I have no doubt he'd not just be a winner but a landslide winner. The funny thing is he's not even in the video. He doesn't have to be. Scroll down the page to see the video. This is what would make me vote for someone, an actual record of doing something the country needs and being successful at it.
