Perry = great candidate on paper. So far, that’s about it.
Even in interviews Perry is not fast on his feet and does not demonstrate an ability to intellectually explain WHY conservative governance works. He is mostly right on the issues, but his communications skills are seriously lacking.
I am still giving him a chance. His flat tax plan is vastly better than 999, and I at least have confidence Perry knows how to win elections as he has demonstrated many times in the past. He really just needs to loosen up, relax a little in front of the camera and brush up on his debate skills.

The former Massachusetts Governor has already gotten a fair amount of mileage out of attacking his Texan rival from the left on Social Security, and from the right on immigration, but this new spot strikes at the heart of the Perry campaign's raison detre -- jobs, jobs, jobs:

Since the recession began, desperate job seekers have flocked to Texas at a clip of roughly 1,000 people per day. And they're finding work, too. Despite a huge population influx and a bruising national recession, Texas' unemployment rate remains below the national average. How remarkable has the Lone Star State's economic performance been? Read this Political Math analysis (written by a self-professed non Perry supporter), and marvel. One telling data point:

You sound exactly like the left when Ronald Reagan ran and won the Presidency.

You mean sort of like GW Bush, who lost every debate he ever had and served 8 years as US president?
