The serious problems Rick Perry faces in the primary and potential general election, outlined by Dick Morris in this video clip, are self-explanatory.

He forgets about the Trans Texas Corridor issue, which turns off property rights and local control advocates.
Perry ping
This isn’t 2008! Everyone was caught up in the Hope and Change delusion. This election is about removing the psychopath in chief from office. It’s also about the economy and jobs.
Dick Morris predicted that Hillary will be president.
Florida will likely be quite a battle, with the SS issue probably giving Mitt a slight edge. On immigration, Perry’s positions are more aligned with Rubio’s and Jeb’s. Those two endorsements may be decisive in Fla.
All good points. As a newly committed Perry supporter, I agree with Morris that bringing these issues up is a healthy part of the vetting process
Dick Morris must be reading the anti-Perry posts on FR — same ridiculous issues, that will have no impact on the election.
There are a lot of FReepers who support Perry and are not "insiders". Besides, the "insiders" guy seems to be Romney.
Stay home = give the Supreme Court nominations away to the Rats.
“As a newly committed Perry supporter, I agree with Morris that bringing these issues up is a healthy part of the vetting process”
Sure, let’s do Obama’s job for him, bash Perry, make sure Romney will be the nominee — yes, I can tell that’s what Perry supporters do. (/sarc)
Dick also said it was a “brilliant decision” at the time McRino suspended his campaign to go to DC and vote for TARP.
From where I sit (fully clothed), Bachmann & Perry are going to split up the tea-party/staunch conservative votes.
In 2000 against Bush in the primaries McCain won:
VT
NH
MA
CT
RI
MI
and AZ his home state.
substitute Utah for AZ because of Romney being Mormon and you have the probable outcome of the 2012 primary. This will be a near repeat of the 2000 primary.
I notice nobody want’s to address your comment on how we snivel about who is in office yet we are the problem . The lesser of 2 evils will not cut it with me anymore . This beloved nwo Mr. Perry can stay in Tejas with his deficits and his open borders .
Huckabee was a serious contender from the South.
Perry is up by 9 in FL (29 vs 20 for Romney). Poll was taken day after last debate.
So somehow primary polls five months before the first primary votes will dictate who wins this cycle? I’m missing your logic.
To say however that Romney has “no path” to the nomination is just delusional, however.
Then stay home. The only people that can force him down your throat are voters in Ia, SC, NH, and Nv, and somewhat Fl. The nominee is usually chosen at that point. But, like 2008, it wasnt some insider trickyness that did it. It was the actual voters. Blame them, not some secret backdoor boogeyman.
