I remember going to the Texas straw poll in 2007 and watching this terrible video. Timestamp 1:10.

Just something to get you fired up to beat Perry. We finished third behind Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson that year.

2011 Texas straw poll was canceled purportedly due to lack of interest, but I suspect Perry's people didn't want to battle Ron Paul in a Texas straw poll.

This pisses me off more than the video... I actually think my day has been ruined now!


EDIT: The poll was canceled back in June though, so I think blaming it on Perry might be a little reaching on our part. It happened after Mitt Romney declared he wouldn't participate in any more straw polls. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jun/16/texas-gop-scraps-straw-poll/

Maybe they would reconsider now that Perry is on the ballot?
