the governor's mansion - the man's rudder ain't just in deep water, it sunk to the bottom.

CHRIS WALLACE: How do you respond to those who say, you know, I like Rick Perry, I like his values, but I worry, does he know enough to be president of the United States?

RICK PERRY: Well, obviously, I know there are nine Supreme Court justices. I don’t know how eight came out of my mouth. But the fact is, I can’t tell you, I don’t have memorized all of the Supreme Court judges.

Here’s what I do know, that when I put an individual on the Supreme Court just like I have done in Texas, we got nine Supreme Court justices in Texas: they will be strict constructionists. They won’t be activist judges.

That’s what Americans care about. They are not looking for a robot that can spit out the name of every Supreme Court justice, or someone that is going to be perfect in every way. They are looking for somebody who’s got values that are based with a deep rudder in the water.
