I've heard some suggest that Perry has to hit it out of the park in the debate. I suggest it will be a victory if he makes it out of the Reagan library with his ass only somewhat intact.

You can bet Perry is well prepared. He’ll do just fine.
I think the key to a good performance for Perry is to stay relaxed, stick with the idea that tonight is an introduction — similar to the introduction the others were able to make in the first debate — and as much as possible, just let the criticism roll of his shoulders.
Just be of good cheer, relaxed, and emphasize who you are and what your record is.
People will eat it up. His illegal immigration love for some reason gives his supporters a great feeling. I for one find his love of illegals a disaster.
“I suggest it will be a victory if he makes it out of the Reagan library with his ass only somewhat intact.”
I agree but I think he will acquit himself quite well.
On one level, no, he just has to emerge without any embarrassing gaffes. Bachmann will be interested in getting out of fight mode after her squabble with TPaw and Romney is still trying to look presidential.
Ron Paul is the only guy likely to go after him directly and he’s a gnat that Perry ought to be able to swat away with ease.
But on another level, will he come across as a greasy, glad-handing back-room pol to viewers? That’s to me the question since his rise in the polls to date is due primarily to the prominent plumping of his campaign in the news. The vast majority of voters have actually seen or heard very little from him directly.
If Palin’s lucky he’ll step in it tonight. If not, it may take another two or three or four debates for him to really make an impression, and the question is whether the voters will like and believe him and his record once they get to know him.
The reason Pawlenty,Santorum et al all got poor ratings at the debates was because they were scripted and politically correct.Perry needs to pull off a unscripted regular guy blunt debate and not worry about what Dana Perino,Rove and the talking heads say afterwards.He is ahead BECAUSE he slid out the soc sec ponzi scheme and Bernake treason things the MSM and Fox news said were radical slip ups.He needs to talk to the American people and speak bluntly. If he goes Trump blunt he will win but only Trump can pull it off w/o criticism.The media are going to hate anyway.The American people want Obama’s actions SPOKEN ABOUT LOUD AND CLEAR.I have never seen Perry in this type of forum nor do I really know him but if he hits these issues he will triumph.
-race riots in WI no response from POTUS?
-union mob threats towards America with Obama off stage when it went down Obama called his people? to MOBILIZE (we are not stupid!)
-fast and furious
-Solyndra- Obama primped and pimped green company was given stimulus=bankrupt
-Obama’s joint session speech:same old ideas rehashed with a different set of dem code words for tax and the only thing this President knows how to do $pend,vacay,golf,incite racial/class wars
-joe the plumber warned us
-as top economists/CEO’s have said WANT JOBS? get Obama out.
-Go Saints.
Perry is the front runner by a large margin. All he has to do is not stumble. If he comes across as competent, in charge of the facts, aggressive toward Obama, and can put together two coherent sentences in a row, he will "win" the debate. It is the other candidates that have to hit the home run in order to try to knock him out of his spot at the top.
Perry will do fine. He is a proven vote getter and he’s had his share of debates.
I’m a Palin supporter but I’ll be pulling for him and interested in hearing him in more details on the issues. It will be the press that goes after him the hardest.
Maye Paul, but he is irrelevant.
Well, the anti-Perry’s are gathering on this thread, all predicting disaster for Perry.
We’ll see.
But if they’re wrong, they will NOT forget their predictions.
I GUARANTEE it!
I read the article and the comments, could not see WHEN this debate is (what time, Pacific time?) I am thinking I will watch it on CNN.com, because it is not listed on my tv listings.
Anyone knowing the time please reply.
Prediction: Rick will Rock the House
Be interesting to watch and hear Romney as he gets all self righteous against Perry
but then again Romney might just stand there with his mouth shut...
pretending to be a lampshade...
I expect Perry will do well, and that Romney will elevate himself a bit after slipping in the polls a bit.
Tonight is the night Bachmann fades away.
After the debate Perry will be slipping south to San Diego to meet with some Republicans. It was on local radio but with no specifics I assume it’s a private event.
I wonder how much democrat is still left in Rick Perry..
Something made him a democrat I suspect it was stupidity..
Native base stupidity..
Somebody learned him some things but it may be watered down with democracy..
Democracy was is and always will be Mob Rule by mobsters..
He may want to be the head mobster.. like Romney OR Juan McLame..
I don’t suppose ABC, CBS, or NBC will be carrying this.
