This is Perry's first video since announcing.
Jobs.
That's the right topic.

Re: Some Rick Perry For Paul Rahe
Bless you,Tommy. This was terrific. I can see the campaign slogan now: "If you want work, you will either have to move to Rick Perry's Texas -- or get him out of there and send him to Washington."
Let's all hope that he is not just a chameleon. We need someone who knows what he is doing and why.

Re: Some Rick Perry For Paul Rahe
Just what the doctor ordered - Americana apple pie. Love that he's not trying to water down his image, the lines "conservative to the core" and "faith in God" instantly resonate with me.

Take that ad. Saturate the media -- and it would be over in a week.

That one commercial just swept half the Republican candidates off the stage and into the ashcan of history. Wow.

Re: Some Rick Perry For Paul Rahe
Very, very good add. Must agree with Dr. Rahe, though.. Let's hope he can articulate the case for limited government half as well as Paul Ryan (who, by the way, would do nothing but strengthen a Perry ticket & help shore up the Midwest).

Marco Rubio for commerce secretary?

Re: Some Rick Perry For Paul Rahe
I think the "Rick Perry's Texas" line was the first effort to separate himself from the Bush Texas legacy. It jumped out at me, anyway.

Good ad. I specifically like the emphasis on the details of his record as governor (the loser pays law could prove to be a strong selling point). Most of the other ads I've seen this cycle have been too vague about the candidates themselves, focusing instead on how bad Obama's record is. While these offer much to agree with, they don't help draw distinctions between candidates running for the GOP nomination.

Re: Some Rick Perry For Paul Rahe
I've felt for some time that the right message isn't elusive or hard to come up with. It's entirely straightforward. However, I'd become somewhat frustrated by the apparent inability of the pre-August 13 GOP field to articulate it and get traction. If Perry's smart, he won't engage in battle with the other Republican candidates but simply go after Obama. In this manner he will instantly elevate himself above the mudslinging of Pawlenty and Bachmann. It will be between Perry and Romney. Although much more needs to be learned about Perry, it strikes me that he has a better chance of demonstrating consistency between his past record and his vision for the future.

Double post - my apologies.

Re: Some Rick Perry For Paul Rahe
That is about as perfect a campaign commercial as can be created right now. It made the economy the main focus, but didn't shy away from faith or conservatism in the least, and didn't shy away from "spending is the problem". This is how you do it.

Re: Some Rick Perry For Paul Rahe
True, as the owner of a marketing/media production company I have been so frustrated with the lack of potency in the conservative campaign ads for quite some time. They too often seem like they're just regurgitating heartless GOP talking points. This ad breaks that mold, it has heart and is produced very well. Republican candidates need to quit apologizing for their position to people who disagree with them, and just simply be transparent by delivering authentic, unapologetic, concise and well produced messages that hit viewers at an emotional level.

Re: Some Rick Perry For Paul Rahe
It's a good ad.
Perry is certainly better than Romney, and might be the only one with a strong chance of beating him for the Republican nomination. But Perry would be more comfortable managing America's decline than trying to stop it with deep and meaningful cuts. I agree with many of the comments in Peter's thread.
President Perry probably wouldn't rack up as large a bill as George W, but I would be surprised if he spearheaded a legislative campaign to roll back much of Obama's debt and significantly reduce federal authority. The most Perry has ever done for small government is to sign tort reform legislation. As President, he would likely ease taxes and regulations to free businesses, but he's not above rewarding corporate allies with favors.
I would rather have someone committed to breaking federal power and spending, rather than merely tightening the reins a bit.

Re: Some Rick Perry For Paul Rahe
This doesn't worry me so much. A savvy politician understands what the voters want and gives it to 'em . Right now the voters are fed up with spending and an overeaching federal gov't. If Perry wins the White House, he'll do whatever it takes to stay there.

But what will he do if there is a shift in public sentiment? Jump on the bandwagon? Or fight to persuade the voters that they are in error? Your post suggests the former.

A shift to higher taxes? More debt? not likely I would think. Obamacare is going to become less popular as it starts to go into effect.
Then there's Congress. Paul Ryan will still chair the Budget Committee, Boehner (despite his faults) is no Dennis Hastert, and the tea party freshmen will still be a factor in any legislation.
On the Senate side, there will still be Rubio, Lee, Paul, et. al. The Republican caucus is a much more conservative body now.
If Perry goes wobbly, there will be much stronger pushback from the right than there was under Bush.

Paul Ryan, who most people like, was only advocating tightening the reins a bit too. My only fear about Perry is that something like this will project him to be another slick southern pol like Clinton.

. My only fear about Perry is that something like this will project him to be another slick southern pol like Clinton.
Whereas, my arguement is that we need a slick southern pol. like Clinton. Someone who can answer a Chuck Shumer by biting his lip and saying, more in sadness than anger, a line like
"An attack ad never fed a hungry child..."
and sill keep a straight face.
Guile is a necessary tool for a leader and I sense that Perry has it.

Re: Some Rick Perry For Paul Rahe
Perry is a very enthusiastic campaigner, and not afraid to go for the jugular. KBH was the most popular politician in the state-for reasons that have always escaped me-he just destroyed her. He has a very good, and innovative team that is really on the cutting edge technology wise. His last campaign was paperless, not a yard sign to be had. I think there were bumper stickers but I'm not positive. Barry and Axelrod will have their hands full with Perry and his team. And, yes, there's a good bit of Bubba Clinton in him, style wise.

Re: Some Rick Perry For Paul Rahe
I'm a little unsure of what most of us seem to be looking for in a candidate. He must be clever but not a wonk. He must have ambitioin and energy but not an ego. He must have experience, but not have made mistakes. He must be able to articulate the message but not be too slick. He must be able to win elections, but not be a good politician. It seems we are looking for our own Obama, the blank slate we can fashion into an image for ourselves. I think so far the field is made of the always-runs, the ain't gonna runs, and a set of never would have runs if not for this bandwagon I might be able to get in front of. At least Perry is a candidate that makes sense whether the Tea movement happens or not. He's at a point where running is a logical step, not a lifelong ambition.
