Earlier... bored Perry, can't stay awake -- needs to find his energy.

IIRC, Perry had some kind of back surgery just before entering the race. I can understand that he may have been on pain medications during the times of those earlier debates.

I had a friend who was taking a pain med after surgery. For two days, the guy was bouncing off the ceiling, accusing his wife and friends of all sorts of things, and didn't even remember most of it after the meds wore off. [Of course, WE frequently reminded him of some of his actions-under-the-influence.]

Beck’s minions (Beck is sick again) are really trashing Perry and some of it is disingenuous.

I knew about his back surgery. That can take time to heal. I wonder if he’s wearing a back brace until it’s totally healed. He had to go out on the road to fund raise shortly after the surgery.
