Gov. Good Hair's Bad Day In New Hampshire


He met educated voters, . . .

For Rick Perry, visit to New Hampshire town turns into an ambush - Poten & Partners:
Alan Cronheim, a Portsmouth lawyer, engaged Perry in a cordial, low-octane chat about health care, asking him to explain how 30 million uninsured Americans would fare if he succeeds in repealing the Obama overhaul.

"I just happen to think it can be delivered better by the states than by the federal government," Perry told him.

That hasn't worked out so well in Texas, Cronheim said, noting that after a decade under Perry, a quarter of residents still lack coverage.

"He did nothing to deal with the plight of those who can't afford health care," Cronheim said.
Interesting, the press considers educated voters asking intelligent questions an "ambush".

Well, that didn't take very long, less than 24 hours.



"After initially telling reporters that it's "fine with me" if states like New York legalize same-sex unions through their own legislature, Perry is pulling a 180 and calling for a Federal Marriage Amendment.

Perry, who is flirting with a presidential bid, clarified his position to Family Research Council president Tony Perkins in an interview.

"I probably needed to add a few words after that 'it's fine with me' and that it's fine with me that a state is using their sovereign rights to decide an issue," he said. "Obviously gay marriage is not fine with me. My stance hasn't changed."
