Rick Perry Is A Lot Closer To The 2012 GOP Presidential Nomination Than You Think

I’ve been telling you this for quite some time. Gov Perry will be the GOP nominee. And the next President of the United States. Bet money on it.

Via the Business Insider:

The Republican “establishment,” such as it is, is quickly coming to the realization that the 2012 GOP presidential nomination is Texas Governor Rick Perry’s to lose.

He leads in Iowa and he hasn’t even really campaigned there yet. He’s running second in New Hampshire, which is all he needs to do. And he’s running comfortably ahead in South Carolina (again, without much campaigning), which is the gateway to the South.

The South is the base of the modern Republican Party. Perry has become, in less than a month, the Southern states’ de facto favorite son.
