"Perry has a rock star-type style that appeals to many." 


As those of you who have only recently been introduced to Perry are beginning to see, this guy isn't McCain. Perry's Democratic challenger will be facing (and losing to) a strong candidate in 2012.

In an election when even a WEAK Republican would win, this is the very last thing Obummer needed.

Republican Rick Perry initially gained attention after entering the race for the Republican party's presidential nomination for his outspoken, off-the-cuff style, also known as "Perryisms." But now the Texas governor on the presidential campaign trail is becoming known for being a leader in the race.

The latest Gallup poll shows Perry vaulting into the lead for the Republican party's presidential nomination. Perry, who entered the race just a couple of weeks ago, is quickly passing over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, the initial Republican front runner.

Perry led the Gallup poll with 29 percent, followed by Romney at 17 percent. Texas Congressman Ron Paul was third with 13 percent, while Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was in fourth place at 10 percent. On the weekend Perry entered the race Bachmann was claiming a victory in the Iowa Straw Poll, but her momentum has been doused since then by the Texas governor.

Another survey by Public Policy Polling showed Perry with a 13-percentage point lead over the rest of the field.

1) He's got the support of social conservatives and many Tea Party members.

2) Economic interests like Perry's gubernatorial record.

3) Evangelicals like his Bible-talking style.

4) He's got a wry, folksy tongue, and he's not afraid to use it.

5) Perry is a strong campaigner.
