Any governor in the race is going to get hit with taking federal money for state programs. It's in the Dem attack playbook.

If the governor of one of our largest states with a record of creating jobs in his state can't beat Obama, nobody can. It's all about the economy in 2012. Cavuto just interviewed Andrew Puzder, the CEO of CKE Restaurants, which owns Hardees, among other brands. Puzder made a strong argument why the economy is stagnant - no one in business can put together a 5 year plan because of uncertainty over taxes, health care costs, cost of goods and transportation, etc., all the result of the Obama administration's policies. CKE apparently is moving its headquarters from California to Texas. Puzder said their plans are to open 300 restaurants in the next year in Texas and zero in California. Said it takes 6 weeks to get the necessary permits in Texas, 8 months in California. And, once the restaurants are built, California interferes with all sorts of meddlesome regulations. I don't know a lot about Rick Perry, but from what I've heard and seen, he's a viable candidate without the baggage Romney has.

I agree however to win they need to embrace the issues that got Reagan elected in the 1980's. The Party Platforms of those years spell it out well. The major issues are the same--------with a little different twist.
