If Perry gets in, Mitt’s pretty much a shoo-in.

If Rick Perry didn’t exist, Romney would have to invent him and find some buddies to finance his run. As soon as Huckabee dropped out, Mitt’s campaign was in pretty deep trouble. He needs a regional spoiler to deny Southern delegates to his nearer competitors. Enter Perry.

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit to see Perry as Romney’s VP pick.

This is laughable. You're doing "dark horse" on a lot of threads but you don't even know how that works -- or what it is -- or consider that it won't even fit in this case -- no matter how much you try to shove that square peg in the round hole.

“If Perry gets in, Mitt’s pretty much a shoo-in.”

So which of the current candidates do you think would beat Mitt if Perry stays out of the race? Who do you think Perry is planning to undercut by splitting the vote?

(I’m assuming from your comment that you believe this is a deliberate attempt to help Mitt by Perry.)
