Sorry, Perry is not close to being as damaged as Palin has been. She has been the butt of liberal jokes for almost four years--some of it self imposed--but mostly out of context smears and ridicule by RINOs and liberals across the nation. Perry hasn't even come close to that level of attack, therefore he is not "as damaged as I claim Palin is."

Your RPDS is showing.

You know, it’s somewhat true that Palin’s name recognition and her support is largely among people who don’t know her record.

The reason she is widely known and supported is for more superficial qualities such as personality and straightforwardness.

Palin has the advantage of having substance in the superficial aspects as well as the profound.

In other words, as her record becomes known, her support will expand in a big way.
