When Perry joined that first debate, I thought he did pretty well. While I won’t say he did awful last night, he was hammered by some of the other candidates (Including Bachmann on the vaccine issue), and it seemed he was almost left stammering. I realize that politics is a brutal sport, but I thought he could have done better in that regard.
I was always under the impression that primary debates were to always be used as preseason training....Hopefully Perry takes away from last night a few things.
Mentally you could see him dwelling on the shots he was taking rather than flowing with the debate.
Physically, like I said perhaps it was his back issues but he was beat and he opened up to some rather odd facial expressions and smirks....just plain tired it seemed. Not good this early in the game.
I thought that aside from the couple times he was jabbed, he did better than last time.
