That's nice. On the other hand, in the debates Perry has shown nothing like the kind of wit and intellect needed to run this country.
I've heard he may have been on medication for his back problems. We'll see if he does well enough in upcoming debates to claw his way back into the top tier. It's very doubtful.
On the other hand, Santorum is a rising star. This speech convinced me. Please watch the whole thing. I'm convinced his ideas, background and personality can not only win the primary, but handily defeat 0.
Actions and one's record speak the loudest. Gov. Perry has a record of accomplishment and the Texas model.
Obama's got squat.
Santorum was a real fireball in the debates, wasn’t he?
Ah, but I’ve seen many a pretty speech. Rick S. (to distinguish him from Rick Perry)is a lawyer and a legislator: He talks for a living. He’s never actually done the kind of actual decision-making that Perry has (whether you agree his decisions or not).
If “wit and intellect” are your criteria for President, instead of actual work experience and success in an executive branch,obviously I won’t be able to convince you of the obvious shortcomings of having a rookie President.
Also, Santorum is not rising on anything other than “non-Romney of the month.” Otherwise, he would have been doing well earlier. He’s just the “last man standing” for social conservatives.
