Oops. Since 2007, 40% of all 'new' Texas jobs went to illegal immigrants.

For all (Perry's) touting of job creation during his tenure as governor, there’s a controversial side to that too. According to a Center for Immigration Studies report this week, of all the jobs created in Texas since 2007, 81 percent went to immigrants – half of those to illegal immigrants.

It's going to be Romney.

1. The establishment has decided on Mittens. Perry's toast, and it's a shame.

I think he could've been knocked off quite nicely. x(

2. Don't mourn too much. Perhaps Crotch will run as a Third.

3. Don't take Perry's chances lightly

I used to live in Texas, and every election I thought he would be defeated. "People can't be stupid enough to vote for him" Yes, They Can.

Next year is going to be brutal. No matter what.

4. I honestly think that if Perry doesn't get the nomination

it is simply because Rove and Chaney decided he wouldn't - nothing more and nothing less.
