I don’t recall debates where Obama was in before the last election but he can’t speak anything without a teleprompter. How good does Perry have to be to take on a teleprompter?
it’s a different dynamic to debate one on one, than it is to debate 6 others especially when all participants agree on so many things.
I actually saw Perry years ago debate a democrat live. Perry beat him senseless. I actually felt a little sorry for the guy.
I would look for Perry to do that in the general election debates.
All that said, there is no harm in nothing that perhaps last night he could have been stronger....which seems to be the consensus.
It also seems to be the consensus that Bachmann’s attack won’t amount to much.
