Perry has a much better chance than Romney, who has no chance.

At this point, I would say that Cain is the front runner.

I agree...I knew they’d tone him down...and that is what people liked about him. Once, he is off the ropes, I’ll have someone close to his family tell him to go back being Rick Perry. His value voters speech had a few great remarks.

He certainly appears to know what he’s doing in that picture. Good trigger form ... end of the trigger finger on the trigger, both eyes open, good cheek contact. Nice shooting form. Nice weapon, too.

Perry to deliver Pittsburgh policy speech
By: Alexander Burns
October 8, 2011 01:40 PM EDT

Rick Perry will deliver a policy address in Pittsburgh next Friday, his campaign said.

Spokesman Mark Miner told POLITICO the speech would “focus on energy and job creation.” He said there would be “more in the coming weeks.”

POLITICO’s Reid Epstein, traveling with Perry in Iowa this weekend, reports that the Texas governor told voters he planned to speak soon about what a “president can use to unilaterally deal with the issue of job creation.”

“Over the course of the next few days, and certainly weeks and months, we’ll be laying specificity out, but we know what to do here,” Perry said in Sioux City. “I talked to you about simple principles.”

Don’t care much for the position of that left hand though ...

I read that too. It is going to be one of those with few specifics because the piece said that Perry will be rolling out his ideas in a series of these speeches. This is not going to cut it. He needs to get bold fast. People are fed up with pussy footing politicians. That is why Cain’s 999 is getting attention. There are flaws, but it is something for people to look at that will fundamentally change the system. Even Huntsman has a pretty solid economic plan dropping all the tax rates dramatically. Unfortunately, it is from Huntsman. A professional loser.

Got to love the “Good ‘Ol Boys” who think that this is simply a race between liberal Romney and liberal Perry. And that if they somehow spend enough to buy the nomination the rest of us will simply fall in line and vote for the winning liberal. Guess again.

You got to have more than a blank resume slate. You’ve got to have governored a state like Palin or Perry.

His early stumbles will probably help him focus and sharpen up.

Red Meat voters would go with someone like Herman Cain because he tells them what they want to hear and they never consider the fact that the man has no record to judge him on regarding any policy or issue because he was never elected to an office to enact a policy or to vote for a policy. Even Obama was elected to the Senate before he ran for President.

He needs to get bold fast.

Bold I agree with. Fast, OK, but not rushed. It's got to be well thought out, and delivered confidently and smoothly, perhaps over several days. Maybe a seminar or a conference would be a good launch platform.

Apparently some of these debates judging by his rise in the polls. Debates are important despite what team Perry is saying. It is a first intro to these candidates to a lot of people. If Perry is not good in them, he had better step it up in other ways to make up ground. Bold policy moves would be a great start. He needs an Art Laffer's cocktail napkin.

Perry’s only function is to suck votes from Cain at this point and assure Romney’s nomination - just like Bachmann and Santorum and Ron Paul are doing. They are dividing the Conservative vote.

“Then McCain came back strong and won the nomination by March 2008.”

Just lovely. :/

liberal Romney and liberal Perry.

Within the Republican Party, I see Romney as a progessive statist, far on the far left wing of the GOP. Perry is more of a center right conservative within the party, more in line with the new breed of Republican we saw elected in 2010.

Cain is now appealing to the RED MEAT voters who only care about tough talk and red meat rhetoric. It is very clear to anyone who is not a RED MEAT voter that Cain is acting as an attack dog for Romney against Perry hoping that if Romney is the nominee he is going pick him as his VP.

Regarding the 9-9-9 tax plan it is politically foolish and big loser because it is going to force the 50% of the people who are not paying any tax now to pay a lot more in taxes. Many of Cain supporters are among those 50% of the population and they will be paying much more in taxes under his plan but the guys is giving them red meat rhetoric so logic be damned.
