QOTW: Rick Perry

In my opinion, Rick Perry does not have a strong chance at achieving the Republican nomination for presidency. Firstly, he, like Herman Cain, are both trying to recover from the major blunders of the last two weeks. Many organizations agree that his candidacy is dead due to his "oops" moment during last week's debate, but there are much deeper reasons why Rick Perry cannot achieve the Republican nomination. He is campaigning to a much more conservative base than most Republicans want to vote for, and even if he managed to still win their vote, he couldn't win the National Election. Plus, his ideology, job position, and TV blunders all remind me of a former U.S. Texan President and that's someone I wouldn't want to be compared to.

Question of the Week 4

The most important political issue in the state of Virginia is transportation, by far. The Northern Virginia area, Washington D.C, especially is one of the most congested commute areas in the nation which means a lot of our tax payer money goes into maintaining and constructing roads. Whether it is Route 7, 123, or 495, every Virginian is dependent on how well maintained and efficent the road systems that they use every day are, which is why transportation is the most important political issue in the state of Virginia.
