MANCHESTER, N.H. — They have debated on the same stage five times, but rarely have the contrasts between Mitt Romney and Rick Perry been more in evidence than during separate appearances here Friday night. It was Romney the careful technocrat versus Perry the unplugged preacher.
snip
One such question came from a man who told Romney that “everything you said in your introduction was wonderful” but who questioned some of the details of the former Massachusetts governor’s priorities.
“I’m just not seeing how that adds up,” he said.

An hour later, Perry took the stage at a downtown hotel ballroom in Manchester. He appeared to feel totally at home, more so than in many other settings during the campaign. He was loose and extremely animated, even playful.
He sprinkled words like “awesome” and “cool” into his opening remarks and he played off the New Hampshire state motto, “Live free or die.”

He extolled the virtues of freedom, saying that single word sums up his presidential campaign. He promoted his new economic plan that includes a flat tax with a 20 percent income tax rate

He highlighted his credentials as a strong opponent of abortion. “The bottom line is this, if you want to stop Washington’s many violations of the 10th Amendment, especially when it comes to the most basic principle of protecting life, then we must make President Obama a one-term president. We must!”
The audience gave him a standing ovation.
snip
The two performances, even accounting for different settings, could not have evoked more stylistic differences. In the space of three hours, New Hampshire saw the essence of these two Republican candidates. If the nomination battle comes down to a contest between Romney and Perry, their clash will reverberate across the party.

I like the pic! Thank you!
I’d like my grandchildren to see a president who loves his country, believes in American exceptionalism, will maintain national security and who will stand with our allies.
Mitt holds no core beliefs.
Sure he does. He believes he wants to be President.
And he'll use any tactic to get there.
Outstanding post!
And I absolutely agree with your comment.
Thanks for posting.
