His debate performances don’t seem uneven to me, they seem universally bad.
“Tuesdays Republican debate will save Perrys campaign, or end it”
I’m sure hoping for for the latter.
The latter, in my opinion. But, it will come down to whether or not he can hold onto his funders, regardless of how bad or good he does in the debate.
ca gov brown just signed into law a similar bill to gov perry’s:
allows children of illegals in-state tuition.
this issue resonates with the following:
1. lower and middle class americans that pay taxes for the illegals’ health care, public schooling, and in-state tuition, but are denied the same for themselves.
2. military veterans, same as above.
3. legal immigrants who endured the years and costs of becoming americans, same as above.
2D, I hope Perry makes a much better showing and delivers good and sufficient answers to the Romney-promoting panel hosts who want to finish Rick Perry off. However, the brief time allowed to counter what is a full blown assault against Perry may require more than one debate. This debate theme centers on the economy, so Rick dragging around Exhibit A, the TEXAS economy, should by itself bury all the light weights who have delivered nothing but rhetoric. I like the guy with the goods rather than the chops. You know what I mean.
If he drops out, will Perry’s supporters back Cain or Romney?
I hope he does well. But I don't think it will be *the end* (as some are hoping) if he does only average. His strong point has never been formal debate - that was stated from day one. But he's great with speeches and campaigning. I thought we want someone who can win the general election, someone that will also attract independents. I think he can do that.
Perry doesn't necessarily have to win the debate, but he can't stumble like he did in the Fox/Google debate. If Perry turns in another poor performance it won't help his campaign, but it won't kill it off either.
Perry is a true fiscal and social conservative and a strong proponent of states rights and limited govt. If conservatives eventually reject Perry, say hello to Mitt Romney, gop nominee 2012!
There’s a “Debate” Tuesday? Who knew? Will it be on teevee?
I disagree. I think this one is all about Cain. If Cain blows it, they all will get another look-see. If Cain does well, he will be tomorrow’s winner. If the other guys hold their own, nothing changes.
However, if perry appears normal at the start and an hour later sounds again like michael Jackson on Propofol, he’s toast.
I wish Perry would just go away and stay away.He is snake oil salesman
He’s had two weeks to practice. Obama was able to pass as a good debater after only one week of practice. If that moron can pull it off, Perry should have no problem.
BUT... I’m sick of “uh... uh... uh” and TOTUS. I’d prefer not to go through another 8 years of it.
Why is Bloomberg and the Washington Post sponsering the REPUBLICAN debates.
Are Republicans stupid?
Why would they participate in their enemy’s territories.
This is insane!
...you're heartless bigots who hate Christians!"
Cheers!
