WELCOME TO FR!!!
Thank you =)
I didn’t know about the back surgery. That would explain why he seemed physically uncomfortable after standing for an hour.
I don’t know how to do mult quotes, so this is addressed to someone, but I can’t remember who (d’oh!). A debate coach would not bother me at all. A good leader knows enough to be surrounded and advised by the best. That shows leadership, not weakness (see: Obama, Barack for the latter).
Like someone else said, not many are influenced by the debates. I’m undecided on our candidate right now, but there was no doubt that the audience was with Rick Perry last night. They WANT him to succeed. I remember in 2000 Peggy Noonan (I know, I know) referring to us as Broken Glass Republicans, meaning we would crawl over broken glass to take back the White House. In 2012, we’ll jump through fire, too.
As a wife, I wasn’t impressed by Perry saying he’d bring his beautiful wife to the WH (I hate that forced lovey dovey junk). It sounded smarmy like something Romney would say. I’d rather he had said he’d bring PRIDE back to the WH or at least a man’s pair of jeans. =D
