Well, the polls out of Florida after the debates completely disagree with your view. Perry is still up by 9 in Florida and will take it easy.

I'm not trying to bring you down, but the Ras. poll showed Perry losing a net of ten points to Obama over the past couple of weeks. My guess is Ras's Presidential poll is an early indicator of the toll the attacks have taken.

If the polls 2-3 weeks from now still show Perry comfortably out ahead, then I agree he will be our nominee. I think it is still too early to reach that conclusion right now though.

Like I said, I am reasonably discouraged. I don't want to tamper enthusiasm of others though, so I'll back out of this thread now.
