WASHINGTON - Mitt Romney's loss is Rick Perry's gain in the 2012 Republican presidential race, as the Texas governor, a late starter in the wide-open Republican presidential field, is not only stealing support but also big-money backers from the former GOP front-runner.
Just look at California.
Four years ago, Mike Schroeder was California political director of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. This year, he dismisses Romney's second White House campaign as "disorganized."
"A lot of the energy that was for Romney has gone to Perry this time around,'' said Schroeder, who has not formally endorsed a candidate.
Former California assemblyman Scott Baugh, the influential head of the Orange County GOP, helped raise nearly $2 million for Romney in the last race in that perennial GOP fundraising gold mine. But recently, he co-hosted a "meet-and-greet" for Perry with local Republicans and calls the Texas governor "an authentic individual who has a clear vision for what the country needs."
Former California Republican Party chairman Shawn Steele remembers that in the last campaign, a "united" Orange County GOP leadership "flew to Boston and raised money for Mitt." Now, "they have deserted the ship."
Defections are exactly what Perry needs as he attempts to build a national grass-roots organization - and fundraising base - to maintain his newfound position as leader of the presidential pack.

Perry's goal is to raise as much money as possible before the Sept. 30 deadline for the presidential financial disclosure reports, which will be watched closely as a sign of Perry's political staying power.
"If he beats Romney in terms of third-quarter contributions, in spite of only having about half the time to raise the money, then that will be a major victory for Perry and a major blow to Romney," said Rice University's Jones.

I feel your pain. I really do. Your preferred candidate stays out and a leading contender comes along who is wildly accepted. And you just want to spew out the hate, don’t you? And you are. It’s painful to watch. Like the bellows of a water buffalo sinking in quick sand. It’s truly heart-rending.
That is really funny, but you are dead wrong. LOL
Ok. So then I’m wrong about your preferred candidate not yet entering the race. Sorry about that. I guess that means your preferred candidate is Romney.
But everything else still fits. Perry is stealing Romney’s electoral advantage and it’s driving you crazy so you post crazy sh*t.
It’s still painful to watch.
I think I hit on it. Romney’s your man and you feel cheated. Perry is stealing your thunder.
Poor, poor pitiful you.
LOL, no!!!!
That’s why you ended up on this thread attacking Perry. You’re a Willard Man!
(Does gay marriage make your leg tingle?)
Wrong, and I don’t attack I post the truth, you cannot handle the truth so you attack.
You post lies. Repetitive lies that have been debunked by others, which you ignore. And you post and re-post in a dreary, predictable and generally irrelevant fashion.
But your infatuation with this particular thread is your undoing. Your coming out, as it were.
Too bad Perry’s cleaning your man Willard’s clock, but that’s the way the political cookie crumbles.
Still wrong, but you sure like the attack stuff.
I’m just responding in kind to you and your cadre of dedicated liars.
Now to the personal attack, so typical, hang out at DU much.
I’m responding in kind to you and your dedicated cadre of liars who systematically disregard and ridicule any attempt to discuss anything outside of the strict parameters of your arrogant pontifications.
Everyone else is automatically wrong if they post anything to contradict your dreary list of repetitive and trumped up talking points, which you deliver to us plebes like pronouncements from on high, that we’re just supposed to accept on your High Authority.

No, Perry knows what gets in the way of his total open borders policy, and friendships with Mexican officials, crony capitalism with beneficiaries of his knife-in-the-heart-of-Texas highway, and pharmaceutical monsters.
Everything we know about Perry is ugly, and getting uglier all the time.

Projection time is here!
The projectionist is in his booth; grab your snacks and drinks, and get ready for the show!
I have voted for my last RINO. Let the “moderate” independent voter elect the RINO. That’s the appeal isn’t it, electability? Well if the establishment presents us with another RINO let the disaffected demos and indys take the RINO over the top. I am staying in the trench.
You’re just p*ssed that Perry is getting stronger and your candidate is getting weaker and no matter how hard you post your lies here on FR it doesn’t change the situation out there in the world. It must be very, very frustrating and as much as I find you to be an irritating individual I meant what I said earlier that I do, to a certain extent, sympathize with your feelings of pain and loss. (But only to a certain extent.)
