The premise of the article is, if she gets upset by attacks on her husband, maybe she wants the Presidency even more than he does.

This is a ridiculous premise, and I utterly reject it.

I hope she learns from what this has caused her husband to have to do on her behalf, on this day of all days when his story was the rollout of his energy economy jobs plan.

I sympathize with Anita Perry’s feelings towards her husband and his campaign troubles, but her subjective feelings as his wife isn’t where the focus should be, and can only cause him additional troubles.

Again, issue has nothing to do with “how much she wants the Presidency”, per the article...

What is obviously true...all mind reading and motive impugning aside...is that the severe critique of her husband has gotten to her, and she engaged in a bit of self pity (for him, not her, but he and she are husband/wife) and motive impugning, herself.

Let me ask you this though: Do you buy into her complaint that Democrats and Republicans were "brutalizing" her husband over his Christianity?

In my view, that's where she lost many people. If she said they were "brutalizing" him over his record in Texas, comments he's made to various groups, policies he believes in, the friends he keeps, etc. she'd probably get some sympathy, at least from Perry supporters.

But religion? Republicans are much more down on Romney (and Huntsman) for the Mormon thing, and Democrats and the media are much more down on Bachmann as the crazy Christian lady, when you look at how Perry has been treated.
