Poll: Perry now down to … three percent in Florida
Hot Air ^ | 10/17/2011 | Allahpundit

Posted on 10/17/2011 3:03:27 PM PDT by Rational Thought

Last month, Insider Advantage had him leading Romney in the state 29/20. A month later, “He now barely has a heartbeat.”

When I saw Perry’s topline number of three percent, I figured the “Ponzi scheme” talk must have sent Florida’s seniors running screaming into the night. Not so. He’s actually doing (marginally) worse with other age demographics in this poll, and in the last poll he did reasonably well with the 65+ crowd, finishing second to Romney in that group with almost 23 percent. That poll was taken on September 13, which was almost a week after Romney started attacking him on Social Security, so if entitlement chatter is what’s driving this, you would have expected to see some of that show up in last month’s data. What’s killing him here, I assume, is the same thing that’s killing him everywhere — his crack about the base’s “heartlessness” on immigration plus general disappointment that the anointed Romney-killer in the race has ended up making Romney look better and better with his debate performances thus far.

This is exactly what I meant about serving two masters. When it comes down to it, we all have to choose. Some choose to put Party ahead of principle. So be it. But eventually, as Bob Dylan once warbled....”It may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you’re gonna have to serve somebody.”

I agree that Bachmann and Santorum have stood tall. I could easily see either of them as President. It doesn’t seem to be in the cards, but the cards have not played out yet.

Since Rollins is gone I’d be willing to give her another shot, but he seems to have tanked her (his whole purpose IMO) so there’s not a lot of hope for her campaign.

Rollins was a RINO plant and I would love to see anyone prove that wrong.

Yes. Now, time to find an alternative to the draft avoider from Massachusetts. Any ideas?

Cain of course. He is the 45th President of the United States and we will be better for it.

>>Perry swallowed a heartless cyanide pill on immigration and he is done.<<

Yep. He peed on the electrified fence.

When people never answer rational questions you know they’re duplicitous and lying.

One of his 'bots told me the other day that I "hate the Constitution". Gotta give them credit for coming up with new ways to call us "haters". I've already been told that I hate Texans, Christians, Jesus, women, children, vaccinations, families, Mexicans, Hispanics, "people with different last names", immigrants, military veterans, college students, limited government, states rights, electable candidates, conservatives, southerners, freedom, and of course, George W. Bush. Soon they'll let us all know that we also hate mom and apple pie.

Watching his support plummet, it couldn't have happened to a nicer group of supporters.

I'm glad I've never met any of these people in person... my right hand would be sore from all the bitch-slapping I'd have to administer.

You know LJ, it’s such a simple question for an American to answer. It should flow easily from the tongue. “I support a secure border. Period.”

And they don’t. I question their loyalty.

Heck, you and I will tell our view about border security without being asked!

Then they disappear for a while, only to pop up on another thread spewing the same propaganda.

“Attacking our own candidates is disgraceful.”

So why do perry supporters do it?

They’ve already alienated me past the point of redemption.

You can thank Perry for taking away her thunder.

lol! And we "hate Texas females and want them to die of cancer". Following that 'logic', so do all those Texas state legislators who voted to undo La Raza Rick's nanny-state Gardasil mandate.

Note the Bot's tagline.
