I think, to some degree, the country, esp. the Conservative electorate but the nation in general, is ready to hear the “truth” about Social Security.

However, the main focus is jobs (which helps Perry), so Perry’s message should be a straight talking, but job-oriented, plan. Get America back to work, so that we can increase the number of taxpayers, THEN, discuss a reform plan, and make it clear.

He has the potential to win this like Reagan did - with plain talk (that the talking heads will insist until near election time is “too much”) and good, sensible plans with a patriotic approach.

However, I worry that even the couple points he lost will put primary states like FL and NH a bit out of reach where he may have had a shot before.
