Rick Perry 's campaign team, undaunted by plunge in polls, readies phase two
Washington Post ^ | Oct 15, 2011 | Dan Balz

What he means is that in terms of money raised, organizations in place in early-voting states and policy proposals in the pipeline, everything is on track.

On Friday, Perry delivered his first major policy speech, outlining a series of executive actions that would accelerate exploration and production of domestic energy resources and create, he said, more than a million jobs. The next speech, scheduled for Oct. 25, will outline his plan for the economy, which has been a big hole in his message.

After the economic speech, Perry will tackle border security, foreign policy and government reform. The package of speeches, campaign officials hope, will do what the debates have not done, which is to flesh out Perry's profile as a conservative governor with the ideas and leadership qualities to be president.

In other words, the campaign that Perry's team hoped to run from the beginning will be able to start in earnest. He may have dug himself a deep hole with the four debates he's been in so far, but here in Austin, there is more defiant determination than pessimism in the concrete-walled command post.

Phase Two Perry-——includes new ways to insult the base -——if “heartless” didn’t do the trick.

WRT the next debate——should ask him how much time he spends posing for glamour pictures. Seems to do that a lot-—a casual surf of the web shows “Marlboro Man” Perry pasted all over the place. Sure likes his MM visage.

The reaction shots of Perry eyeing Romney at the NH debate were revealing——he knew he was supposed to respond to cut Romney down to size-—but the vacant look on Perry’s face told the story-—nobody was home.

He did an excellent job answering that question. He also made excellent points, I applaud him for that. And he is right, I might add.

I would encourage you to watch the speech too. It is much better when he delivers it.

Yeah, I am sure Perry was only interested in going to a kegger at Beta Alpha Omega! LoL

It was their choice. They said good luck and goodbye. One of the threads that created the problem was the attack against Anita Perry. There were some well respected FReepers attacking her. It was way out of line as for as they were concerned. I just stay off threads like that mostly because of the vileness that happens. You might want to check out that thread.

Does Perry know what “go away” means?

The title of the article clearly indicates he does NOT.

Sorry, I did not see in that video what you claim. I thought Rick Perry did an excellent job in his conservative explanation. What I did see is an extremely liberal interviewing him and trying to take him to the briar's patch and was unsuccessful.

You have that right! It’s a nuthouse here. There are saner areas out there. If any of you are on facebook there’s a bunch of really good groups too. Abusive people are not tolerated at all. Just sayin’

I watched about half of the first video. I will catch up with the rest tonight.

One question, where is that Rick Perry? The one I saw in that vid was more of the Perry I had seen in earlier speeches and events. One that was smooth and confident. The Perry that is showing up at the debates and on interviews like the one he did with Kudlow this week is wooden, uncomfortable and just not a winner. He had better get back to the smooth Perry on the vid in short order or his campaign will be for nothing. He needs to get rid of the handlers or something.

BTW, the vid was filmed in the Frat house. You can see the composites on the wall in the background. He should not have kept that a private affair. People should have been able to see him relaxed and confident like he was there.

You know, at the height of PDS when Palin and her supporters were getting attacked non-stop with everything from Christian bashing to some of the worst delusional ranting I have ever seen on FR, I do not remember a single Palinista (and I are one) ever crying the blues that the big bad admins were “partisan”. In fact, I recently saw one come to Perry’s defense and smack down a poster who stepped over the line. And you have the freaking gall to bitch about management here?

At least have the decency to ping them if you’re going to go all DU on them. In fact, don’t bother. I’ll do it for you.

Your candidate is who he is and did what he did. Now he’s feeling the backlash. You don’t like that. I don’t really care. Deal with it or don’t. But do not expect whining like a spoiled liberal about management here is going to help him.
