He lacked the charisma, even by the relatively staid standards of Minnesota politics (although they also produced Bachmann!) to command wide appeal. From what I have learned and read of Iowa it seems extraordinary that what is a relatively obscure and unvisited state can command such an influential position.<br /><br />I think you've been reading Moronwatch too much for your precis of Rick Perry - the comparison with the Martin Sheen character from 'The Dead Zone' is actually pretty offensive to the many Texans who voted for him. However, where I, surprisingly, agree with you is in your summation of the seeming immunity of the Financial Sector to be brought to heel.
