Even a blind sow finds an acorn now and then.

She had to get two digs in on Gov. Palin in an article about Governors Perry and Romney. Hmmmmmmmm.....

Margaret Carlson as a good leftist probably thinks she’s helping Perry by dissing him, thinking Republicans will rally around him to defend him from the left.

Don’t worry Margaret, Rick isn’t going away anytime soon. There are powerful financial interests in favor of cheap Mexican labor and open borders and they will ensure that Rick’s campaign is flush with cash even if the grass roots abhors his position.

It was a bad debate for Rick but if Sarah doesnt get in, who is better?

Perry- bad on illigration, thinks like a liberal
Newt- great conservative debater (plays one on TV at least) but global warming, dedee, etc
Romney- Obamnycare, flipflopper, chameleon

Cain is really the best choice now, but we need Sarah to get in there

While it's true that the nation has elected incoherent Texans to the White House, Perry alone has come up with THE dumbest non-sequiturs.Debate Perry looked and sounded ill-prepared, uncertain, dull, vacuous and embarrassingly out of his depth. What hurt him most wasn't his tentative, insecure moments but the feeble, stumbling responses pitched to Romney. Perry's rehearsed lines collapsed into tongue-tied incoherence.....eerily uncomfortable to watch.

ITEM Perry was anticipating the triumphal moment when he would be able to nail flip-flopper Romney ---and had prepared for the moment. This was Perry's response: “I think Americans just don’t know sometimes which Mitt Romney they’re dealing with. Is it the Mitt Romney that was on the side of — against the Second Amendment before he was for the Second Amendment? Was it — was before — he was before the social programs from the standpoint of — he was for standing up for Roe versus Wade before he was against first — Roe versus Wade? Him — he was for Race to the Top. He’s for Obamacare and now he’s against it. I mean, we’ll wait until tomorrow and — and — and see which Mitt Romney we’re really talking to tonight.”

ITEM Perry’s response to what he’d do if the White House phone rang at 3 AM informing him that the Taliban had gotten control of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons was equally inchoherent.

PERRY: “Well, obviously, before you ever get to that point, you have to build a relationship in that region. And that’s one of the things that this administration has not done. Just yesterday we found out through Admiral Mullen that Haqqani has been involved with — and that’s the terrorist group directly associated with the Pakistani country — so to have a relationship with India, to make sure that India knows that they are an ally of the United States.”

Perry went on to tell a story about how the Obama administration wouldn’t sell upgraded F-16 fighters to India, which n-e-v-e-r happened.

ITEM Perry's candidacy-ending response was when he thumbed his nose at his country and its citizenry, saying those who disagreed with him on in-state tuition are "heartless." The inference was that only Perry was Truly Worthy (b/c only he had sucked up to Mexico).

==========================================

Summing up......it's likely Perry derailed b/c serious questions have been raised WRT whether he has the intellect to be president.

Perry has a complete lack of presidential gravitas — he has an odd way of ending his responses, cocking his head in an almost mechanical way, posing with a smug, self-satisfied grin (as if he had just paged through the vast holdings he's accumulated in Texas politics).

He is known for skipping debates in Texas and Texans let him get away with it time and time again. Perry's contempt for 2012 voters was complete when he could not even bother to present himself as an electable candidate.

Really! Carlson, Kristol, Erickson, Podhoretz, Brit Hume of Fox News and David Letterman ganging up on Rick Perry. Say it ain't so!

Yeah, Perry had a bad debate performance. So I guess its time we toss aside the best conservative candidate with the best conservative executive governing record on the GOP side in a generation and settle for the establishment choice or one of the second tier wannabees.

Guess some think it makes sense to choose the ultimate two-faced, unprincipled political chameleon of all time. The liberal RINO, Mitt Romney. Or may be we need to choose a well intentioned businessman who likes affirmative action and quotas, but who lost his first and only race for public office in 2004. Perhaps we need to pick a half baked Minnesota Congresswoman who went from being the darling of so many, to a mean spirited demagogue now falling like a rock. May be we should all coalesce around the has-beens, Newt or Santorum. We could watch them every other night on Greta's Fox show, On the Record.

Decisions, decisions.

Please everyone, ignore the elephant in the room which is Perry’s own record.
