It is obviously very early, but of prospective GOP 2012 Presidential candidates, Rick Perry has the best story. He is a rock solid conservative, who said no to stimulus money, governs the best state economy and is more telegenic than Bobby Jindal.
His path to the presidency, however, goes through fellow Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison, who is challenging him in the primary for the 2010 gubernatorial election.
This primary well serves republican interests. Perry seems likely to emerge victorious, more battle tested and so more prepared for the 2012 elections. If he proves unable, better to find that out in 2010 then 2012.
