It wasn’t just the MSM who was all over Perry’s comments. In “spin alley” a Romney aide was already talking about it. They knew it was coming, based on Perry’s book. They were just waiting for him to SAY it in a debate. The flier was already ‘in the can,’ ready to distribute in FL.’
Then, for whatever reason, MB jumped on that bandwagon. Strategically, she’d have done better to let Romney carry that one. For her, of all people, to distort Perry’s position, and to align herself with those who believe (or at least are NOW saying, for strictly political benefit) SS is just honky-dory, is more than a puzzle.
Upthread someone said she should stick with her positives. This, of all arguments, is unseemly.
Well, we should get an idea this week.
I’ll wait. Doesn’t matter if she isn’t going to win. I don’t think Bachmann is the type to say SS is fine like it is. I figure she probably intends to hit him about what he would do.
I think the Perry bounce is because there are still many people who don’t know much about him. He sounds different and maybe folks think he can win. They just want Obama gone.
Most people don’t pay attention as we do.
As usual, in the GOP race, the media will always find a way to spotlight the candidates we are supposed to choose.
If it wasn’t for Obama, I would stay home. But, I will vote for whoever it is.
