Perry's new campaign poster.
Every time someone who has served in the military is running against someone who has not (or was not actively serving in the field), it becomes a part of the campaign strategy by the military man. Not serving didn't stop Clinton and Obama from getting elected. Dedicating many years of his life to military service didn't seem to help McCain in his 2008 bid for presidency (neither did choosing Palin as his running mate, imo). Different players, same game.
Anyway, I think this poster is unoriginal, but interesting. I wonder if it or its message will benefit Perry in any way. I highly doubt it.
