Perry is not exactly a field mouse like Pawlenty. And, for her part, Bachmann may have claws, but she also has areas of exposed underbelly, and Perry has claws too.You're right about the comparison to Pawlenty being beyond ludicrous.
As for Bachmann, I sincerely hope that Perry just keeps his cool and lets her rant, maybe agree with some of what she says, gently disagree with her more outrageous attacks on him, and treat her more or less like a deranged wife at a divorce proceedings.
The fact is, he can GOVERN; she can only squawk. The best way for him to nail down that difference is to keep his cool.
Keep your cool, Rick. Keep your cool.
And then, of course, when Palin endorses Perry, all the Bachmann squawking in the world isn't going to amount to a tit on a titmouse. As long as Perry keeps his cool.
Good post. It bears repeating.
...oh wait, you already did. :-)
