Perry is leading romney by 6 points... that is the reason. The frontrunner is always under attack... always... until he/she are no longer the frontrunner.

You would think that was true but the fact of the matter is none of these candidates went after ROMNEY so ferociously when he was the frontrunner. Well, that may not be entirely accurate. A few of them may have but the nearest in the polls to him didn’t. Even Pawlenty only slung at him after the debate until shamed into doing it in person. I find it very interesting Bachmann the so called “Tea Party conservative” never behaved this way with Mitt.
