    It's good that he won't be seeking reelection...I just worry that it will open the door for someone worse.

    Also, he could still run again in 2016..... Which scares me so much.

    Even the Republicans have stated they don't want him.

    After everything with the last election still quite fresh, the odds of him going far in the election are slim to none. He's so far-right with his politics that he throws many - including Republicans - off.

    That's great. His existence is a human rights violation.

    I'm glad you have enough faith in the right wing, but I don't...at all.

    Hope Perry isn't planning to run for president because he wouldn't come close to contending with how deep the Republican pool is going to be in 2016.

    Then again, I hope he does because it was quite entertaining watching him fail miserably in the debates.

    It's not going to matter who runs for Democrats because Greg Abbott will likely be a huge favorite to win.

    I'm still wanting him to get arrested for his death threat against Bernanke.

    I don't think he stands much of a chance. He comes across as a bumbling fool, in addition to his various other defects. I still recall that speech he gave in NH where he appeared stoned out of his gourd, and later claimed he had taken 'painkillers'...and probably had several drinks on top of them. It was funny to watch, but more suited to an event like The Golden Globes than a presidential campaign speech.
