I really do think of the lot Perry would make the best President. The problem is that though he’s not the worst candidate, he’s down there near the bottom.
I feel really bad about that. The person who I believe would do the best job is also one of the people who I believe has a recedingly small chance of winning this thing.
I’m going into spectator mode.
Great thinking... I was ecstatic about Perry before he entered, and now feel very similar to you. I experienced the fall of Perry and the rise of Cain, got aboard the Cain Train, and saw it fall tonight with monotonous repetition of a plan that will never come to fruition.
Frankly, I'd love to see Newt, and if the primaries were held tomorrow, I'd likely pull the trigger for him based on today's performance. But I'm not going to fight for any of the candidates as they stand now until I see more. I just know I'm going to fight against Romney.
But unlike some posters here, should he get the nomination, you bet your ass I'll be pulling the trigger for him come November. I'd do that for any of the candidates on stage today.
Hang in there. He did well at the debate. He's never going to be the "wow factor" at a debate, but he has the resume and he looks like a guy who means what he says.
