I couldn't understand HOW Perry was reelected, until I spoke with friends in Texas. Jackie reminded me Perry won by 39%, the only reason he won, too many in the field.
He was re-elected in the 2006 gubernatorial election against three major opponents, polling 39% of votes against runner-up Chris Bell with 29.8%

Yes - He should focus on forums that play to his strengths. 19%
No - If he doesn't participate it will look like he's scared to face his rivals. 78%
I'm not sure. 1%
