“It Worked In Texas”

Alex Massie predicts Rick Perry's campaign theme. Massie sees the logic of a Perry run:

The story is simple: Texas is working. Despite some difficulties (don't expect Perry to elaborate on these) the Lone Star State has enjoyed boom times in recent years, in stark contrast to much of the rest of the United States. That's Perry's record and it's a better one to stand on than anything enjoyed by any of his rivals for the Republican nomination.

Hertzberg is wary of Perry.
