If he got the GOP nomination, it would almost guarantee another Blue win in the white house.

Governor...2016?
Did God tell him not to run? Evidently God was just screwing with him when He told him to run for POTUS.
Fool me once, and all that....

I don't see him running for president again, that was just a whole lot of embarrassment for him. Best to just get out of politics all together.

Texas will probably be a swing state in 2016 while NC, VA, FL, OH, and CO will be solidly blue. It's possible we may see Hillary win by a much larger landslide than did Obama. Hillary might also contest Arkansas. It's a red state but they love the Clintons there.

Perry won't run. He's too arrogant, thus he really hates to lose. He may be dumb, but his advisers are not. He knows he has no chance in hell in Texas or nationally.

None.

Like Palin? So he'll stick around spouting ignorant snotty remarks from behind the safety of their twitter/facebook accounts.

It was generally expected that Perry would not run for another term as Governor of Texas - Greg Abbott will be the next Governor of Texas.

I wouldn't be so sure. I wouldn't underestimate how angry people are with incumbents.

I am by no means implying a Democrat, but people will likely be much more willing to listen to an outsider this time.
