Personally I think he is the only candidate that can actually stop Romney, so I hope he really improves going forward.
I think Perry will be the nominee. People haven't really had a good look at the guy except through the prism of the so called debates. I'll admit he didn't come off looking great in those, but they aren't the end of the story...as many around here wish that they were. Perry's got money in the bank and that will translate into media buys. Let's see how the ads he's starting to roll out do. Let's see how the economic plan that he's just starting to articulate resonates with the voters once they get to hear what he's offering.
Perry's the guy that Buckley would support if he were still alive. He's the most conservative candidate who can win!
I like what you say—and how you say it.
There is much more to changing the direction of this country than simply giving the Bronx cheer to anything that may not be EXACTLY our position. Principled people (not idealogues), distinguishing what is major and and what is minor, and the courage to stand for what is honest and right with other principled people—that is what will propel us to success.
Simply grumbling, deriding, and giving the raspberry are sure to alienate those who may be persuaded by reasonable people, sensible and moral arguments, and an appeal to the innate desire of good people to be a (constructive) part of something larger and greater than themselves, “. . . among them, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
It is good to read your constructive comments.
