Très beau papier sur les forces et les faiblesses de Rick Perry sur le site de Politico.
"There will likely be a honeymoon stage with the national media when he enters the presidential race, but Perry will soon face intense scrutiny.
Perry demonstrated that he may not be ready for prime time with how he handled the gay marriage issue. First, Perry said that he didn’t have any problem with states like New York approving gay marriage — though he didn’t think it was appropriate for Texas. It was a state’s rights issue.
However, after getting strong pushback from the religious right community, Perry changed his position, saying he was in favor of a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage everywhere.
Also, there is the George W. Bush comparison. If you turn on your TV, close your eyes and listen to Perry — he sounds just like Bush. They both come from West Texas. Perry drops his g’s at the end of words, just like Bush, and even uses some of the same expressions. There is a serious question about whether the country is ready for another president from Texas so soon after Bush, though their politics are not identical. Perry may have to deal with Texas fatigue. Or stated differently, “No new Texans.”"
