Quadrupling down on stupid. Denying that Perry has a problem here does not do anything to fix that problem. The polling numbers for Perry back my position. Yours is backed only by your wishful thinking.

You have a lot to learn about politics in general and polls in particular. Perry lost his initial surge because he was disappointingly inarticulate and passive in debate. The idea that immigration had anything to do with it is a wish fulfillment fantasy you share with a tiny splinter of the GOP electorate which will have no influence on the result of the primary process. Perry will regain his front runner status when the party comes to grips with the reality of the choice before it and he will go on to win. There is no way the GOP is going to nominate a liberal, a talk show host or any of the other candidates on offer. Perry wins by default.

He's the candidate you are stuck with, like it or not. Stupid, in in this situation is trying to magnify conservative dissatisfaction with the best candidate we are going to get. All you are doing is digging a hole you'll just have to fill in later.

Gnash your teeth all you like, you'll only wear them to nubs. Perry's going to win and you are going to have to deal with it.
