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.

It was offensive but just showed me the real Perry and I Don’t like that kind of behavior by anyone - much less a candidate for the POTUS!

Yeah, there's nothing more offensive then a Christian calling another Christian "Brother" or "Sister". I see where you are coming from, I just don't like it very much.

If there is nothing wrong with Perry, and he was leading in the polls just a few weeks ago, how do you explain his nose dive in the polls?

Interesting numbers on Intrade, Perry has been climbing ever since the debate. Romney and Cain are dropping.

Herman Cain to win the 2012 Iowa Caucus 19.5%

Rick Perry to win the 2012 Iowa Caucus 34.7%

I will grant you Perry is more conservative than Romney. But not, Bachmann, Cain and Santorum, not by a long shot.

None of them would allow ANY tuition breaks to illegals. None of them were ever a democrat. Every one of them would build a fence along the entire border.

And best of all, every one of those 3 would DEBATE MUCH BETTER WITH OBAMA in the one on one debates. The idea of Perry debating Obama keeps me awake at nights.

Never heard of that. If true, Bachmann of today has proven record in congress to be the arguably the most conservative person out there.

Perry is a RINO
Same with Romney.

There were 3 true conservatives at the debate last night:

Cain, Bachmann and Gingrich.

I like her, but she’ll do us more good in Congress. She needs to get out of this primary stuff before she does herself irreparable harm.

You're growing more desperate by the second.

You just made my day smoothsailing, and you had already done that once earlier today by just being a friend. :)

Fun to watch that Intrade, isn’t it, and even more so when it is trending the way you like to see it trend.

Yippie!

Did you know that Bachmann worked with/for Jimmy Carter??

Cain holds Alan Greenspam in high regard

Rick Santorum endorsed Arlen Spector

What was your point again?

“Perry Can Still Win”

NO, HE CAN’T...
Like Sarah Palin before him, the media’s meme is already set.
And unlike Sarah, it’s a self-inflicted wound.

“OTOH, Perry leads Cain among Texas Democrats.”

Using the media’s Obama standards, that must mean that Texas Democrats are RACISTS, right?

Perry one on one in debate with the “charismatic” current messiah in the WH.
