And after reading this, I suspect Andrew Ferguson is pulling for Mitt Romney.

I have such a head-ache!!! I just want that s.o.b Obama OUT of the White House.

Nearly ANY Republican would be an improvement!.

Perry is a middle of the roader. He’s far better than the Romney- Christie bunch. He probably has a better chance than some of the more conservative candidates we would prefer.

I would like to see a Perry/Bachmann or Bachmann/Perry ticket and I hope and pray Christie and Romney do not wind up ANYWHERE in Washington D.C.

Let me just say that I will vote for whoever the Republican nominee is vs. BHO. But, I am concerned that a sizeable number of independents WILL NOT vote for another Governor from Texas, period. Very probably sizeable enough to swing the election to BHO, no matter how much he screws the pooch. Is that fair to Rick Perry? No. But then life often isn’t fair.

This writer is a smarmy RINO who obviously back Romney.

It’s a hit piece, covered in ketchup.

This is an informative article and reasonably well balanced.

If Perry is the nominee, as I suspect he will be, he faces some hurtles from the standpoint of campaigning.

Due to his Christian beliefs, the left will make him a caricature of the southern evangelical. However, this is not a strategy without its risks to the left. Many people are increasingly angry about the entire liberal agenda and this could be viewed as extremely mean spirited.

They will also paint him as being Bush III. The problem here for them is that their guy is becoming so despised that even Bush III would be able to beat him.

Trying to attack Perry's economic record in the face of the national picture is a losing strategy for the Dems also. Obama has NO record to run on here.

The biggest issue will be turnout and that implies unity. If Perry can unite all factions of the Republicans and non-Republican conservatives, he will win handily. This should not be that difficult to do since I would hope almost anyone would welcome a “Conservative Democrat circa 1960” at this point.

Another GOP Ruling Class scribbler heard from because it’s “Romney’s turn.” How’d Dole and McCain work out for you, Andrew?
