My question is can Perry get out of his own way and get on a steady track with a clear no-nonsense message to the American people sans the hot headed outbursts and gaffes?
I am not put off by all his "warts" as a candidate. I think they are way over blown and I look at all the really smooth talkers we've had over the years and I don't like to many of them. For example, Clinton was a pretty slick campaigner but has no character. On the other hand, Reagan was called the great communicator (the mainstream media did that as a put down) but he wasn't always the smoothest talker. George Bush 2 wasn't the best public speaker but when push came to shove on 911 he knew what to do.
I've watched Perry in some of the debates and he is solid on the issues and seems to do pretty well. obama is propped up by a fawning media. How is he going to sell his record against that of a Gov. whose state created 45% of all jobs in this country over the last 10 years?
BTW, I just took the quiz and my candidates were Gingrich, Perry, Bachmann.
