Who got in the race last after it was clear Romney was not going to get any appreciable support from social conservatives?
Who did the GOP Establishment push into the race after it seem Tea Party heroine Bachmann was going to upset Romney’s ride to the nomination?
Who does the GOP Establishment see as their back up card if Romney fails?
Who has long standing intimate ties with the Liberal wing of the GOP Establishment?
The answer is Rick Perry.
Bill Kristol to a NY Time Reporter telling him how the GOP Establishment plans to deal with “the Tea party mutiny”

Kristol told me just after Perry entered the race, a development that essentially ended [the more radical Michele] Bachmann’s brief ascent. Establishment Republicans may prefer Romney to Perry, but their assumption is that either man can be counted on to steer the party back toward the broad center next fall, effectively disarming the Tea Party mutiny.
Wonder who Perry will be VP with?
Odd how that question never gets asked of Perry.
Could it be because everyone knows Perry is the GOP Establishment mole in the race to split the Tea Party/Conservative vote and hand the nomination to Romney?
Could it be because they know the ticket the GOP Machine is setting up is “Romney/Perry 2012? Think about it. Romney has the money, Perry has the idolatrous worship from the social Conservatives.
Could that be why the Perry camp is knowingly lying about Cain’s solidly Conservative record on both social and fiscal issues? Because they know full well Perry’s record can not stand close scrutiny?
What does anyone really know about Perry other then the nice words and platitudes he puts in his speeches? Looks like Perry is just Bush 3.0 another tough talking social conservative who will go to DC and be yet another good little GOP crony capitalist water boy.
MNJohnnie pimping for Kristol and the NYT.
What can we expect anything rational or factual from a poster dumb enough to pimp for Romney elitists Bill Kristol and the NYT?
Right, because I’ve never answered any questions about Perry. That is almost as ignorant a statement as when you made a fool of yourself trying to tell people that Rick Perry personally painted the n-word on a rock.
Perry is hardly the “establishment” candidate. He was the candidate of the conservative wing of the republican party (not the outsider fringe). He was the serious answer to the Romney problem, the guy who had experience, was well-liked by the tea party but didn’t scare the mainstream, had the blessing of conservatives, and the ability to raise the money needed for the race.
Bachmann was taken out by Palin supporters who saw her as a threat. They attacked her for Ed Rollins, they attacked her again for “unnamed staffers”, they made fun of her eating a corn dog, they attacked her for claiming she was friends with Sarah Palin.
Perry didn’t really say anything about Bachmann. He was simply the next in line to be destroyed to clear the field.
