Perry doesn’t think fast on his feet, stumbles a little and has trouble stringing coherent sentences together. Maybe the Texas accent gets in the way, but his debate skills are lacking. And it’s not just ‘Mr. Smith goes to Washington’. He sounds as if he’s just come around to some of his conservative positions. What’s this about his thinking (in the past), that Mexican/Texas healthcare might be worth exploring? I don’t trust him.
I don't know, but I've heard he's very good. Clinton warned Gore not to underestimate Bush. Clinton was right.
It could be Perry, as long as he's in the lead, is playing a role. Maybe(?) when it comes time to bring out the big gun, Perry is packing a 45 Magnum.
Like I said, I have no idea, but if he ends up our guy, I hope he has a concealed campaign strategy!
