The editorial article that I decided to evaluate discusses
the most recent decisions by Rick Perry to not run in the gubernatorial race in
the 2014 election. Also stated in the article is the indecision about a
presidential campaign, although it appears that in the not so distant future we
will be hearing about his final decision. The author states “He has been
governor since George W. Bush decided to run for the White House. That’s a long
time — too long a time in fact.” This
statement clearly voices his current opinions on the current governor of Texas,
and by other media sources I deem to hold true for a large portion of his constituents.
He then critiques Perry’s pressing efforts to pass restrictive abortion laws as
a form of personal convictions, and the national spotlight that is being placed
on the ongoing debate in the Texas ledge.
In the concluding portion of the
article the author gives plausible reasoning to Perry’s decision to not run for
governor in his pursuit of the White House. I do agree with the author that if
Perry does decide to run, he needs to focus all of his efforts on the campaign
without the demanding governor position “weighing him down”. While most people
count Perry out of the upcoming presidential election, both the author and I
agree that he has learned from his past mistakes and should not be taken
lightly because he will be a solid contender for the GOP. This article was
taken from Dallas
News with the intention to seek out an audience of both democrats and
republicans due to the upcoming political changes that will affect every
citizen in our state, and potentially the nation. The author, Jim Mitchell, is
a columnist for Dallas News in the opinion section with many editorials
focusing on political action in Texas and the nation.
