Got a good night's sleep Rick?
I stayed up to watch the final tally to see who won the Iowa caucus (By the way, great job MSNBC. You mad a very mundane and boring ritual very watchable), and was glad to see the list of candidates narrowed down. Rick Perry was going back to Texas to assess his candidacy (A sure sign of quitting), and Michele Bachmann, who finished behind him, was going to South Carolina and continue fighting for her causes. I get up, and find that Perry has changed his mind, or quickly assessed that he still was a candidate, and Bachmann was dropping out of the race. Excuse me, Rick, but what did you dream about last night? Was it of you in the White House, making decisions like which right to take away from someone or asking why Congress was in session? Or was it about the people who gave you money, and how they wanted you to keep going? Now, I find both to be very poor reasons to run for the Presidency, but the first is an acceptable reason: Your desire to be President. The second, which after listening to you talk about how you don't have a driving desire to be President seems very likely, and is someone else's desire to see you as President, is no reason at all. I hope no matter which dream you had, you had a good night's sleep. And I wish you had decided to go back to Texas and drop out. If you, or anyone, waivers in their passion for the job, that is a sure sign you aren't ready for the job.
