The John Connally Most Money Spent For The Fewest Results Award (named after former Texas Governor John Connally who spent $11 million in seeking the Republican 1980 Presidential nomination only to win only one delegate goes to: Rick Perry. Perry raised almost $20 million however despite climbing to the top of the polls when he first entered the race, his campaign soon turned into a total flop after numerous mis-statements and debate performances that were so poor that some questioned his physical and mental stability.
The Not Crazy Enough For A Republican Debate Audience also goes to Rick Perry who was booed at a Republican Presidential debate over a compassionate Texas law that gives in-state college tuition to children of illegal immigrants.
