I don’t think Newt’s slide will help Romney. I see Perry or Bachmann getting another look.
Perry will be the last candidate standing. He will do it the hard way. On the ground. In person.
I did not like Perry for a long time but changed my mind recently. If you look at my old posts I was giving some poster named Cincinnatus Wife (spelling?) a lot of grief about Perry. I was like a junk yard dog against Rick Perry. Then I met him through a friend who supports him. Oddly enough, a friend who in 2007 was a big time Democrat.
I keep the picture above on one of my office monitors. It reminds me that Perry has the stones to get right in Obama's face. He has already gone toe-to-toe with the boy king. Say what you want about Perry at his core the guy has nerves of steel.
One thing about the picture. I wonder who the fellow in uniform is saluting to. A person that served the country and did dangerous things flying aircraft or some poser who never worked a real day in his life.
