Governor 39%, Rick Perry, will break the record for number of days in office by a Texas Governor tomorrow. He was sworn into office on December 21, 2000, taking over for George W. Bush, and will be around until at least through 2010, at which time he has made clear he is seeking a 3rd term.
Perry embodies the GOP stronghold that has lasted over Texas for the better part of a decade. Although his last election in 2006 only earned him 39% of the vote (hence his nickname among the blogs) in a 4 person race, a sign of Texan dissatisfaction. He will face a tough battle in his own primary in 2010, as Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison is already gearing up to take him on.
We've already gotten to deal with the question of his sexuality. His insistence that girls take a vaccine, that he made money on. And someone recently even accused him of eating Swedish cheese. Having him around through 2010 gives us plenty of more laughs to come. But please. Someone get rid of this guy when we have the chance.
