Another Texas Republican for President?

            Steve Chapman is a columnist and editorial writer for the Chicago Tribute. He has been in the Tribune editorial board since the year 1981. He is a Texas born American, and attended Harvard University. Chapman argues in his commentary, “Another Texas Republican for President?” written on June 23, 2011, that he believes Rick Perry has a good chance of becoming the next President of the United States. He convinces the reader that every other possible candidate is a “collection of fatal mistakes and irreparable flaws”.  He mentions, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Jon Huntsman, and Ron Paul, but says all these people have imperfections and are a no match for Rick Perry. Rick Perry has a “record of fiscal frugality and economic growth, a flair for channeling anti-Washington sentiment, a proven fundraising capacity and an appealing biography”.  Chapman says that Perry’s flaws are the sort of things that other GOP candidates wish they had.  His “flaws loom large, unless you compare them to anyone else’s”. Steve Chapman is basically saying that Rick Perry has the best standing in the 2012 race. I strongly agree with Steve Chapman’s convincing point.  I agree with Chapman that Perry has a good chance of becoming the next President. The Texas economy is a living example of Perry’s accomplishments. Texas led the nation in job creations last year. In addition, Dallas and Houston are number one and number two respectively in metro areas nationwide for their yearly rates of job augmentation. Texas unemployment is below the national average. Not only that, Perry has the ability to speak convincingly and has an appealing form, making him charismatic and well-rounded. With having so many advantages in hand, I will not be surprised to see Gov. Rick Perry of Texas to become our next President of the United States.
