No need to panic, the battle has yet to even begin, Bush held his fire too... until just before South Carolina... and then launched his ads and completely destroyed McCain with a 43 state sweep.
Perry actually tipped his hand if you were paying attention at that last debate on how he is going to destroy Romney, he's gonna do it the same way McCain destroyed Romney sticking him with the flip flopper tag. He got flustered and probably hadn't planned on bringing the topic up yet, but sort of did, but bungled it. But none of that matters, because he will have all the time he needs to get that attack 100% perfect in the ads he will run as we start getting closer to states voting.
I admit it, it can be a little demoralizing to see the power of the ad and so damn little of the same power in Rick in the real. By that I mean he is perfectly capable of keeping his campaign in the lead by bashing back, laying out his “conversation” on the controversial realities of the issues, and doesn’t. UNLESS HE DOES NOT WANT FRONT RUNNER STATUS THIS EARLY? HMMMM. ????
