Rick Perry's Crony Capitalism Problem

[daa]

snip
In 2009, when Mr. Nance submitted his application for a $4.5 million Emerging Technology Fund grant for Convergen, he and his partners had invested only $1,000 of their own money into their new company, according to documentation prepared by the governor's office in February 2010. But over the years, Mr. Nance managed to invest a lot more than $1,000 in Mr. Perry. Texas Ethics Commission records show that Mr. Nance donated $75,000 to Mr. Perry's campaigns between 2001 and 2006.

2. Will not matter

He will get dinged for the seccession stuff, too.

But, he is their horse, and like the GWB, once the Rs start leaning on the "liberal media" they will fold like lawn chairs and get on board with the messaging the Rs want for him - a TOUGH job creator vs the weak job destroyer.

That is the battle lines the Rs will draw, and the MSM will carry ...
