Good morning.

The Summit wraps up today with their straw poll.

Perry's Colorado speech on YouTube:

Texas Gov. Rick Perry: "Let Us Restore the Nation's Principles - If We Don't, Who Will?"

I couldn't find Santorum's speech and they've not been posted speeches on the official site at this time (at least from my look).

To: All
Kevin Williamson: Perry vs. Obama gives the country a clear, plain choice. Not really a choice between two philosophies, but between two records — and Texas’s economic record can’t be beat.

Tom West: I expect Rick Perry to muddy the waters and get quite a few votes that would otherwise have gone to Michele Bachmann.

Larry Sabato: He’s no Chris Christie, but Rick Perry will shake up the field. If he raises the money he needs, it’s possible the Final Two in March Madness will be Perry and Romney.

Ralph Reed: Perry combines an ideological, grassroots candidacy with the more traditional candidate who runs with money and endorsements. He should not be underestimated.

Scott Rasmussen: Rick Perry will enter the race as one of the top-three prospects (with Bachmann and Romney). Whether he can live up to that potential remains to be seen.

Dana Perino: The GOP candidates wish Perry would just decide if he’s in or out. The wait is killing them softly — holding back endorsements, fundraising, and the scheduling of events.

Kathryn Jean Lopez: Rick Perry will be yet another plausible Republican candidate presenting himself. May the best one win.

Mollie Hemingway: He’s comfortable with overt religious displays in the public square. That might help him win over evangelicals in a GOP primary. As for the general election . . .

Ryan Hecker: He has a conservative record, charisma, and deep executive experience, and he supported the Tea Party when it was not popular to do so. He has the potential to build real momentum.

Jim Geraghty: Finally, a conservative consensus candidate with a strong record on 2012’s most-important issue: job creation.
