Except for Sarah, I'd say. Perry certainly would kick Mitt's behind, I think. I doubt if the other usual suspects could best him in a primary, either.
But, he's said many times recently, that he's got no interest in running for president, and that he will not run. He sounds pretty firm about it, too. When asked, he never pauses, and answers with an unequivocal NO. I've heard him do that two or three times in interviews.
Now, this being Perry, that could turn around in another 6 to 8 months, but for now, I don't expect it will.
As far as whether Sarah will stay out if Perry jumps in, I don't know if she considers him to be what the doctor ordered at this time, or not. Perhaps she does, but I'm not convinced of it. She didn't look 100% certain when she spoke on his behalf during the gubernatorial primary. She looked a bit strained to me, and Rick looked kinda nervous, too. Not sure what's going on there, but the body language looked forced.
We'll see.
I don’t think Sarah has any love for Mitt; I think he’s finally dead.
I also think any candidate will wait until the last minute to declare, to avoid all the LSM BS.
Perry swears he’s not running, yes, but that also might be to keep the media off him.
Horrible as it is, we’re going to have to wait for polls of mushy-middle mindless independents to find out who our candidate will be. So unfair.
