GOP Election Update- Tuesday, November 1, 2011

Texas Governor Rick (The Quiet Man) Perry has put out a series of ads in Iowa to be broadcast on television markets and on cable throughout the state as part of his bid to win the Iowa Caucus. Wearing a light blue shirt, The candidate speaks directly to poor Iowans who every four years bear both the distinction and the brunt of being, along with New Hampshire, part of the 'first in the nation' states to vote on who they want to win the nomination for president. Anyway, Gov. Perry says, "I'm a doer, not a talker, so when it comes to debating other GOP contenders I'm just gonna stop talking. If you want to see what I'll do, you'll just have to elect me without any input on my part." (At least we're pretty sure that's what it says...no one here actually gets any Iowa television; it's one of the good things about being a New Yorker in California).
