Political trouble for Rick Perry

Rick Perry just wasn't ready for prime time -- even in the low bar standards of the Republican presidential primary last year.  

And he has yet to recover his standing, even in Texas.   A recent Public Policy Polling found that 62% of Texas voters said he shouldn't run for re-election as governor.  And nearly 80% said he should run for president again.

Perry's response:  "I've been underestimated many times before, so we'll just let it sit right there," he told reporters.

Yes, but he has also been greatly over-estimated, too.   Remember when he was briefly considered the front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination?
