listen, it’s pretty hard to win a debate when 7 others and 2 or 3 moderators are attacking you from the left and the right on every single question.

I have never seen a single debate where everyone on every question attacked one person with the help of the moderators, except these debates with Perry.

I agree that the debates have been heavily stacked against him. It also irritates me that the Republicans are spending more time attacking him than they are against the real enemies, this current President and his America-destruction party.

Nevertheless, Rick Perry must deal with the cards he has been dealt (not the 4 aces that Romney alluded to but the pair of deuces he has been given for these debates). He had a very positive roll-out to his candidacy, but he has stumbled during these debates. He needs to bring his "A-game" or start doing some extra debate prep "Debating 101".

He now knows what the line of attack will be from his fellow repubs, "He's a crony capitalist - re: Merck contributions", "he's thoughtless on social security -- Ponzi Scheme...monstrous lie", "he's weak on immigration", and, who can forget "he forces little girls to take Guardasil". Despite what you or I think about his positions/actions on any these questions, he needs to formulate a good response" I am saying this as a political ally (for the most part). The Governor needs to improve or his standing will erode.
