If you manage to take down Perry, Romney is guaranteed to win. The same goes for Palin. If she enters now, the split goes between Palin and Perry, Romney wins even bigger.

Granted, Perry messed up, but don't start measuring and ordering curtains for the White House just yet. Perry might just come out of this OK, in spite of your best efforts to destroy him.

If Palin enters, she becomes the race.

In fact it could be argued she has been, for some time.

We are taking down NOTHING. Perry is taking down Perry.

This arrogant assumption that feelings about a certain candidate automatically define who "electable" just reminds us of how many time we have heard the same crap from the GOP Leadership.

They all said the same crap about McCain in 2008 and 2000 and Dole in 1996. EVERY time we have election the GOP tells us we "must nominate so and so to stop such and such"

Considering what a mess the Professional GOP political class has made of everything over the last decade, they might want to sit down and take notes for a change instead of arrogantly assuming their feelings are facts

2012 is NOT going to be won by any candidate running a "politics as usual" campaign.

You just demonstrated Perry's Achilles Heel. EVERYONE else is to blame except Perry. Blaming everyone else is NOT going to win your guy any votes.

Sorry but this mindless cult of personality worship for Perry is no more attractive in Conservatives, then was the Leftist's 2008 adoration for 0.
