Are we to believe that 35% of Tea Party supporters are ignorant bumpkins that haven't been informed that Perry is a RINO, globalist pawn for Establishment as Perry critics claim?

I find that a bit hard to believe.

I'm not choosing a candidate yet. There's a lot to hear from the candidates and a lot will happen during the campaign.

That said, if the primary/caucus were held today, I'd vote for Perry.

Yes.

We need someone who can reach across the aisle and work with the left.

We can’t win in 2012 if put a candidate up there who only looks to the radical fringe of the base for their support.

We need Rick Perry.

I don’t know enough about this guy yet to make a decision. Aren’t we all sick and tired of all the polls. I wish I (or the media) could shut down for 3 or 4 months, let the dust settle, and then start thinking about the 2012 campaign. My first take was for Cain and he is my first choice but.....

But didn’t the Paulbots say that HE was the one who invented the Tea Party and would be their choice?

But, but, but . . . that doesn't fit the narrative of all the Perry bashers. It can't be true.

Wait for it . . . 1, 2, 3 . . ."PUSH POLLING!"

THEY ONLY POLLED RINO TEA-PARTY MEMBERS!"

………..There have been a slew of polls showing Gov. Rick Perry of Texas surging to double-digit national leads. He leads across demographic groups — among educated Republicans and less-educated ones, among upscale and downscale. Most impressive, he’s winning over the Republican activists who pay the closest attention and wield disproportionate influence with primary voters.

A poll by the conservative political Web sites, The Daily Caller/ConservativeHome, surveys these activists. When asked this week which candidate was most electable, 46 percent named Perry, while only 20 percent named Romney. When asked who would do the best job on the economy, 27 percent said Perry and 14 percent said Romney. When asked who would do the best job controlling Washington spending, 20 percent chose Perry, 17 percent said Representative Paul Ryan (who isn’t running) and only 8 percent chose Romney.

……..Nationally, the events of 2009 and 2010 moved voters to the right. In 2008, Democrats had a 12-point party identification advantage among families earning between $30,000 and $75,000. That advantage is gone, according to a July Pew Research poll. In 2008, Democrats had a 7 percent advantage among white voters under 30. The Republicans now have an 11-point advantage with those young voters, according to the poll.

Within the Republican Party, the rightward shift has been even more vehement. In 2008, roughly 63 percent of primary voters called themselves conservative, according to Public Policy Polling. Now it’s roughly 73 percent. The number of moderate Republicans has withered. The events of 2009 and 2010 also concentrated the Republican mind. It used to be that there were many themes in the Republican hymnal. Now there is only one: Government is too big, and it needs to be brought under control……

REading the responses is can only say "Wowee, wow, wow, wow!" . . . the full fledged flight from reality by the Perry haters is a sight to behold. Some folks are so far into denial it's downright funny.

"What tea-partiers, they didn't poll me so it can't be REAL tea-party members."

LOL!

Let’s go gallup. Let’s giddy up Perry. You decide. No, we decide. We tell you. You don’t tell us. Yes we do. No you don’t. Of course we do.

I am TEA Party and I don’t support nor will I ever support Perry.

I guess there is some internet political herders that will get so terribly upset that I won’t follow the soft propaganda all around getting Perry elected.
