Because while you are watching debates, the other 99% of America is watching American Idol with back to back Perry commericals between scenes

Will Perry be able to ask for commercials to replace him in a debate with Obama. Or will he actually have to debate Obama one on one.

Listen. I am someone who supported Perry (look it up). But if you can't admit that he came off real bad last night, you are blind. And I am not putting the nail in his coffin. There is time. But he needs to get with it.

no, I agreed that Perry did poorly. My point is, it doesn't really matter.

Nobody watches debates.

Perry walked in the frontrunner and even though he did poorly he walked out the frontrunner.

Just wait till the next slew of polls comes out, and you'll see Perry still hoovering around 30% and Romney in the low 20’s. Nothing fundamental changed last night, except a few people learned that yep... Perry's not the best debater.
