This would be more significant if the poll results were at odds with others showing a significant Perry surge. In fact, Rasmussen shows him as the only candidate beating Obama. I remain a Bachmann supporter, but am convinced that Perry’s opponents will have to do better than that to take him down. His true test will be in the upcoming debates. If he is not at least slowed down in those debates, it is likely that he will be the nominee.
I think you have it about right. Perry normally does well in debates, which will make it difficult ffor Bachmann (also my preferred candidate). The main thing is that Mittens needs to be buried.
