Rise? What Rise? He gets the same 23% in poll after poll after poll. Romney isn’t “rising” in anything
This is AP. That’s all that needs to be said. They want Romney just as they wanted McCain. If they get him, they will turn on him because their ultimate objective is the re-election of Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
If you add all the rest (except maybe Huntsman), the TEA Party has at least 70% and last I looked that beat 20 — 30 by a LOT. (Using words the brilliant can understand.)
I know Rick Perry is far from solid with the TEA Party, but the things he's currently saying mostly appeal to the TEA Party too excepting immigration which is a pretty big deal. It remains true that making DC irrelevant, getting rid of the UN, drilling here, now, and everywhere are pretty popular with all of us and some of us don't know about some of his earlier positions...
Bottom line we win 70% to 30% minimum unless we splinter.
I should clarify. I’m not a Perry supporter, I’m for Herman Cain. In the very beginning I liked him and Bachmann, but he has been more solid than she...
I said that about Perry because there is a lot about Perry that appeals to the TEA Party despite the other stuff, and I would prefer him to Romney, but that’s as far as I go with him. Bottom line: we, not the Establishment, get his numbers when the final vote is in. (Assuming we don’t kill each other off first.)
