Perry Can Still Win
MSNBC/The Daily Beast ^ | Oct 19, 2011 | Matt Latimer

Posted on 10/19/2011 9:06:09 PM PDT by Clairity

Undoubtedly a team of scientists already has been dispatched to Las Vegas to study the phenomenon that tens of thousands of startled CNN viewers saw firsthand Tuesday night. For the first time in the five years since he launched his methodical, by-the-numbers, always placid, PowerPoint-inspired campaign for the presidency of the United States, an emoticon crossed Mitt Rombot's faceplate. In layman's terms, the former governor short-circuited. Even more surprising, the first person ever to dent that metallic exterior was the same one politicos had confidently written off only a few weeks ago.

Yes, Rick Perry - who in two months was transformed by the punditry from political sage to political sap - pulled off the feat that John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani, and Fred Thompson could never muster: getting under Romney's skin. Despite glowing reviews, Perry's was not an award-winning debate performance to be sure; one hopes someone will tell him to quit calling Herman Cain "brother." Yet his all but inevitable campaign comeback has commenced.

Lol...we’ll see how Herb Huckabee does after a few more weeks of 9-9-9, or was he joking, or maybe he didn’t say it all.

In the meantime: stop acting as though a Hispanic name makes one something other than an American. American citizens are named “Ricardo.”

And, no, I’m not blind, or asleep.

Lol...dealing with the illegal haters is a futile task ... didn’t you read the thread where they thought shooting illegals was perfectly justifiable? You can’t reason with crazies.

I have friends all across the U.S. We call each other “brutha” as a show of affection and friendship. Guys from Michigan, Pennsylvania, California. It started as a southern expression but people (guys) use it everywhere. Its a good thing and people like it.

Correct, those figures are the official numbers as of Sept.30.

If he is in fact quadrupling his receiepts staring Oct. 1st, he is on track to raise 11.2 million in the 4th quarter, assuming he maintains that level of enthusiasm. Pretty impressive.

Perry is a RINO
Same with Romney.

There were 3 true conservatives at the debate last night:

Cain, Bachmann and Gingrich Santorum.

” Perry’s mach one downfall ——facilitating his own downward trajectory-——is one for the political history books.

Most candidates know, as amatter of embedded political faith, that a candidate should n-e-v-e-r slapdown the people he needs voting for him. “

Perry’s downfall can’t happen soon enough for me.

No more globalist RINO cockroaches!

I guess you are able to predict the future, that only your preferred candidate can beat Obummer so I guess I will have to yield to your Karnakian powers.

Do you have like a Danish keyboard? Ton of gibberish. You might have it looked at; spittle tends to mess up the keys.

Just like a LIBERAL, you have resorted to the circular argument.

Begone SHAMNESTY shill.
