(2,620 posts)12. More importantly
he is not a democrat.
wyldwolf
(43,867 posts)13. yes, so true!
NightWatcher
(39,343 posts)2. let him take a plea bargain for 2 years in prison
Just enough to get him off the front page, skip this election cycle, and make him a convicted felon.
Threaten him with 100 years but let him take 2 as a deal.

It won't happen. He will turn it around in his favor and exploit it as dirty politics.

Takket
(21,526 posts)9. maybe if he painted his skin black and stole some cigars... but not for this.
oh... I guess it isn't fair to say Brown was convicted either... since technically he never was.
Gothmog
(144,890 posts)10. Perry is not as popular in Texas as he used to be
The trial will take place in Austin where Perry is not that popular
Avalux
(35,015 posts)11. Not a popular choice, but I'm saying YES.
I live here, and agree with the special prosecutor - "the law is the law". Perry is going down.

(5,036 posts)14. No - but it will derail his presidential bid.
This guy is worthless under pressure. He will look far less than presidential as this thing drags on.
