With all the noise about Gov Perry running for president it might be good for people outside of Texas to know that the Governor's office is not the most powerful political office in Texas. The Lt Governor's office actually has more clout in the Texas system.
There is a bunch of noise about leadership etc in the Grand Old Party and many conservatives are ready to jump on Perry's bandwagon so no matter what anyone says they won't listen, but for any moderates in the GOP it might be time to know the above fact and second there really hasn't been any crisis in the State of Texas to test Perry's true leadership capabilities.
I am not much of a Perry supporter because I see more PR out of him than action. Also he talks job growth, but he has had very little direct or even indirect affect on Texas employment rate,basically things have been pretty good here, because of the environment that has always been Texas. And what he has said he has done is in a bit of a controversy based on some news reports.
Anyway just be aware the Governor's role in Texas is not the true legislative leadership role in the day to day world of Texas politics.
