Speaking truth to words:

" In the governor's race, Perry won despite surveys showing more than half of Texas voters disapprove of the job he's doing as governor. In other words, Texas voters made one of the least popular governors in modern history the odds-on favorite to become the longest serving governor. "

"All I can say is Texans are stupid," said Kim Kelly, a Dallas Insurance saleswoman. "We had a chance to take back the state from politicians, and we didn't do it. We chickened out."

Choice for Governor: Rick Perry " He has the most experience. " Diane Jones, 58, of Keller
