Actually, Kristol got it exactly right. Unlike many in the MSM, he correctly pointed out that Perry AND Romney are the big losers--not just Perry.

Clearly, Cain is now on top due to the process of elimination. Bachmann flamed out fast, and now Perry has too. Romney plods along, looming in the background as the guy no one wants but who could win by default.

And Kristol rightly points out that this win is an opportunity for Cain, who will now get a serious look.

Kristol wants Christie. I wouldn't count Perry out just yet, granted he blew it with the "no heart" comment, but Perry is Texan and he sees the issue from a Texas point of view. One of the biggest problems we Texans have is we think the whole country sees things the way we do. In Texas we felt bad for the amount of good kids that are here, through no fault of their own, that have two choices, jail or working out of the Home Depot parking lot. He needs to explain his immigration position better. I really hope that this country does not believe that people are pouring across our borders because their kids will get a $151 discount at our Jr. Colleges.

It's easy to judge Texans from states where there biggest problem with illegals is driving without a license and "stealing their lawn mowing jobs". On the border states we have half of Mexico pouring across our border because they are running for their lives. Rick Santorum wants to pick at Perry over Illegals going to our Jr. Colleges, PLEASE! Our country is being invaded not only by the flood of refugees, but we are taking fire from Narco-Terrorist and corrupt Mexican Army Units. What has he done? Has he called for military intervention? Is he calling for legislation to send Texas and other border states money to help secure the US border? Santorum can shut the hell up as far as I'm concerned. Those people are running for their lives not running to College. There here, we can't do anything about it or Obama will sue us and Hillary will report us to the UN. So what are we supposed to do with them? We have to feed them, we have to give them medical treatment, and guess what, the Supreme Court says we have to educate them. Might as well get them degrees and turn them into tax payers because we are out of options.

Perry is not open borders, he's just bad at debating. He needs to figure out a way to clear up his border position and do it in a way that makes Americans understand what we are dealing with here and he better do it quick.

Out here in flyover land, some of US commoners do NOT need to read a Kristol ball to figure out the obvious. I think Kristol suffers from too much self esteem.
