I guess what I mean is that if it comes down to a choice of Perry or Romney, who will they support? They have spewed such hatred of Perry - but I don't see them spew the same kind of disgust for Romney. I would conclude they would support Romney over Perry. The level of hatred toward Gov. Perry on FreeRepublic blows my mind. That can only come from a real fear that he might actually win - otherwise - they would treat him like they do Santorum, like he doesn't exist.
To spend this much time trashing a candidate? There's some real deep fear there.
I think some actually feel that Perry’s entrance into the field was part of Palin’s decision not to enter the race, and by dissing Perry with the talking points I’ve seen spread all over Democrat forums, somehow Palin will be convinced to swoop in and “save the day.” Also, if you recall the thread where a number of posters thought shooting illegals on sight was perfectly legitimate, some people think Perry is, by not hating illegals, somehow weak on illegal immigration.
