I agree, he is right on the issues - but he needs to convey his message much better.
Of course it didn’t help that Michelle Bachman and Myth Romney attacked him viciously right out of the gate.
And he did stumble, but it is a marathon and not a sprint. Right now everyone is getting worked up about IA & NH, but it is SC & FL that are the red states. I think Perry is going to keep climbing in the polls. If Newt knocks out Romney in the meantime all the better.
