It looks like it’s over for Perry.
Perry will not be the nominee.
In order; Cain, Gingrich, Santorum. Nothing follows.
Even before his lies on the Gardasil lady and the heart border.....he lost all marks with that answer on Pakistan.
Pakistan Nukes on the loose and he’s going to depend on India?
**Cannon added that the difference between Perry and Reagan, however, is that the Gipper had a knack for delivering memorable lines that more than made up for his meandering moments. In three debates, Perry hasn’t yet found a winning riposte to Romney along the lines of “I’m paying for this microphone” or “There you go again.”**
There has not been a candidate from that day to this who could pull the one-liners like Reagan. Cannon might want to broaden his scoop there a little.
Perry gets worse at each debate.
I still think Palin is waiting for him or Romney to be toast and she’ll get in then.
Rick Perry thinks I’m too heartless for him.
Herman Cain is a very dynamic personality. I am not sure if he could beat Obama with his lack of experience in a public office, but is sure would be fun watching him debate the Teleprompter in chief.
If that is true, Perry is making a huge mistake.
If that is so, Perry is acting like the first string NFL quarterback that believes that he can show up at training camp overweight, out of shape and without having studied the new offensive coordinators new playbook during the off-season who expects to start in the first game of the regular season. Such hubris gets you benched or cut.
As I have posted before, I have no particular "brand loyalty" to any particular candidate. My candidate is a "What" and not a "Who" and is defined as "The most candidate that is more conservative than Romney that can actually beat Obama in November".
I still believe that Perry is the only one up on that debate stage that fits that definition but Perry needs to get his butt in gear, engage in serious debate preparation and serious debate study and show up for the game at his plating weight, in shape and with the playbook memorized.
If not, the New England Romneys, not the Texas Perrys will be the team playing the Chicago Obamas in the 2012 Presidential Super Bowl.
Rick “I’ll tell you what to medically do with your child” Perry.
or
Rick “Expressway From Mexico into the United States” Perry.
or
Rick “Illegal aliens deserve your tax money” Perry.
No matter, every Perry sucks.

“Perry’s plain spoken,”
Yes he is and he spoke so plainly about his support for illegal aliens getting instate tuition that he talked me right out of supporting him.
I think if Gingrich can roll out a cogent new Contract For America next week in Iowa a Gingrich/Cain ticket might be a winner.
The fork is in Perry....he’s done. I’m not a history major but I seem to recall that Abraham Lincoln was unknown at the time and he was the dark horse candidate. I hope and pray that Mr. Cain will follow Lincoln’s footsteps because I really think he is head and shoulders above everyone else so far and I don’t understand why he’s not doing better in the polls. He may be light in the foreign affairs issues but what did Obammy know about ANYTHING? If Cain would announce now who he would trust as advisors and appoint to his cabinet, he would leap out ahead.
Perry is another Obama is what I think. He has illegals running all around Houston, drunk driving,drug dealing, it looks like a 3rd world country in certain areas of town and God forbid the illegals follow the same laws as everyone else.HPD handels illegals like V.I.P.S
Both Perry and Romney should get out of the race now. Both proved conclusively last night that they do not have what it takes to lead the USA.
Both are Democrat Lite Establishment bots.
Typical nonsense from the “inside the beltway” liberal crowd.
They look at what is happening to Perry and see a failure of marketing. His handlers inserted Perry into the race too late, they say.
It never occurs to the liberal pundits that conservatives might actually be concerned about the substance coming out of Perry’s mouth.
When he calls people opposed to illegal immigration “heartless” and “divisive” and “anti-immigrant” we are looking at someone who is revealing in himself the soul of a liberal.
Someone who “errs on the side of life” by abusing his power as chief executive to unilaterally dictate injections for 12-year-old girls.
That he is someone who emotes rather than thinks. That is the mark of a liberal.
I am now wondering whether someone ghost-wrote his book for him. Was there some real conservative who helped him fill his book with red meat ideas for the right, as a marketing ploy to make him appeal to conservatives?
candidates overcome lackluster debate performances all the time, it is the immigration issue that stands to hound him out of this race
Romney officials were particularly tough in their critique of Perry’s vague answer on what he would do if he got a 3AM call alerting him that Pakistan had lost nuclear weapons to the Taliban.
The question was a setup to see if Perry would be "more Bush-than-Bush" and charge into the situation. He said area allies are critical, and they would be if nukes fell into Taliban hands. He criticized Obama failures to shore up regional alliances citing the F-16 purchases vetoed by this administration. Lacking allies, we lack intelligence. Lacking allies, we lack access for our assets and technology.
The idea that we can be everywhere, see everything and know everything should've been settled with Iraq's WMD intelligence failures, the length of time taken to find Osama and a myriad of other problems.
Since Romney's officials aren't volunteering his own answer, I seriously doubt Romney has an answer.
