Gov. Perry has appeal to so many of the groups the Left has divided us into, that he's the one that the Democrats fear the most.

The lawyers and unions have painted a big bulls eye on his back and are raising money like nobody's business to take him out (and the MSM is do their damnedest to assist).

The Left knows they're going to need every dime to get Obama 4 more years and if Perry gets in they're going to have to fight like hell [$$$$$$] to win. And that will take money away from the rest of the Democrat field. They'll be defending states and seats that normally would be safe.

If this "racist rock" crap can be thrown in their face, as it should be by honest Americans, future race-baiting (and you know it is coming -- and it is being tied to the Tea Party) will not have the punch that they hope it will have.

I agree. The Dems and establishment want Romney because it’s then business as usual.

That rock deal made Cain look bad - not Perry. That was not a show of leadership. This is politics - to lead the greatest nation - not a closed door boardroom!

I was a HUGE Perry fan, but his debates have been AWFUL. Hopefully he will make a comeback....SOON!

“Gov. Perry has appeal to so many of the groups the Left has divided us into, that he’s the one that the Democrats fear the most.”

Perry DOES NOT appeal to this conservative....to many screw ups and too many, less than conservative, bad positions.

However, IF he wins the primary I will vote for him in the general election - but not gladly. I won’t EVER vote for Romney. So, Perry meets my minimum acceptibility standards...that is as far as it goes.

I do not concur with you that he “scares” the left the most. He is too prone to compromise with them. Their real nightmare would be Palin, If she could win. Her as POTUS would actually make Alec Baldwin move this time! BTW - I am not a Palinista.
