If asked about Mitt on CBS I would say that at least he is much better than Obama,
If asked about, say, Sarah Palin,I could be completely honest and state that she is simply the best.
If asked about Rick Perry, I too would defend him to the liberal media. But here in the house amongst family, we can fight it out and leave the Leftist outsiders outside.
You are actually doing the Dems’ job for them, by trying to destroy the only viable candidate who can beat Obama. That’s what Obama wants to see, defeat Perry in the primaries, he can beat anyone else easily.
The primary is not about “who is the one you want to have dinner with the most” — it’s about who is the best conservative WHO CAN BEAT OBAMA.
