I've seen worse acceptance speeches at a nominating convention.....

A bit too hollow in places, but on balance, maybe a B+.... ?

Maybe a bit too much cheer leading, not quite enough gravitas....  but a long way from a disaster.

 Having seen/heard Perry speak for the first time in a oracle manner - my first impression was one of - he sounds like, his cadence, was that of Louis Farrakhan. He spoke of founding principles a couple of times, hit on Obama a little, so, being a democrat, he'll attract a few disaffected liberals. I can't help but think his coziness with Islam gave way to the laziness of understanding its order that helped bring about the massacre at the army base there.

I'm no fan of Perry, but to connect Perry with an incident on a US Army base in Texas....?!  Perry, even as Governor of Texas, has ZERO impact with the procedures within US Army bases in Texas.  You think the Army gives a flying flip about what the governor of Texas thinks about Muslims?!

 Like the media, describing the full dedicated to kill as many as possible, in a trusted - defenceless environment, to be an incident is in itself, a big problem. It was a tactic of surprise within a naivete perception of coexistence under the same rule of law that I see to be Gov. Perry's position as being the dangerous part, not a direct implication of or giving aid and comfort to.

 If it is the doctrine to keep your friends close and your enemies closer as the present day tactic - in general as an overall society norm - in my opinion, which is all it is, simply, the price of life isn't worth it. 
 Like here in Little Rock, the recruitment center ambush, the assailant last week pleaded guilty - honorably.

As VP, what does he add...?

If the GOP nominee needs Perry to carrry Texas.... he/she is toast anyway.....

A VP needs to do three things...

Bring into play a state/region/demographic group that the Candidate cannot get on their own....

Offer an offset to any obvious weaknesses the candidate may have.

Attack, Attack, Attack!!!!!

Note sure Perry fits the bill.....

He could play very strongly in the South and even the West, east of the Rockies.  I could see him on the "Governor's Ticket" with Romney.
