I have given up on Perry, the tuition issue along with his debate performances have driven his poll numbers down into the low single digits in key states.
I have moved on.
I had moved on because of the Texas DREAM Act and the unprepared appearances at the debates. But yesterday I read Perry’s plan for pushing American energy to create jobs without waiting for Congress and its actually very good. I am also a die hard states righter and I am desparate to see the Federal govt shrunk down to size. So unless he is just an abject liar Perry is also for all of these things. He needs to show up at the next debate prepared. Otherwise Romney is just going to marginalize him.
This next election is so important that I think we have all got to make a very careful and thoughtful choice. Obviously Mitt Romney is just not the guy. I think it’s Cain or Perry. So at this point Perry is back on my list of possibles. So is Newt if he can get some traction.
Sorry to hear it. Think about what the debates have done so far. Cain has shot to the front of the list because he has no record to attack, but he also has no experience. Romney is right behind because he has turned 180 degrees from the positions he held as Gov. of MA. Gingrich is shooting up the charts because he is inspiring and no one seems to remember him trashing Paul Ryan, working with Hillary on healthcare, or agreeing with Pelosi on global warming.
I'm sticking with Perry because I can see his 10 years as Gov. of TX and his record is pretty conservative and he shares the values I have.
You weren’t for him anyway.
