You can keep telling yourself that Perry is still the front runner, and you can still keep fooling yourself for a very long time, cognitive dissonance will do that to a man. Truth is Perry is toast and the base is looking for a true conservative to take his place now that they see who he is and what his record has been. Here’s a small example of what’s happening everywhere in the blogosphere, everywhere in the tea parties, FR and the entire GOP base, it’s a total realignment and he’s toast. Enjoy it with your crow:

Blah, blah, blah...
Right. More straw polls, this time from the blogosphere. Is that the best you have? Sorry, bucko. That poll has zero credibility in the real world of politics.
Until I see Rasmussen, or even Gallup come out with their new numbers, it remains Perry v Romney.
