Regarding Perry:
1) Texans are embarrassed that other Americans think all Texans are idiots like Perry.
2) Aggies are embarrassed that other Texans think all Aggies are idiots like Perry.
These observations came from an A&M football blog. Perry is not popular except in Perry’s mind. His big business backers will dump him in a heart-beat if they sense any plausible challenge to their rule.
