Gov. Rick Perry is back in the saddle.
Zeroing in on Mitt Romney like a prairie varmint and telling Herman Cain that they'll be "bumpin' tax plans" soon, Perry rode back into the middle of the Republican presidential race Tuesday night with some of his old swagger and his saddlebags still full of cash.
Ten weeks and four more TV debates away from the Iowa caucuses and the launch of election season, Perry remains the Anti-Romney.
If you're a Republican who can't stomach a former Massachusetts governor as the nominee, Perry has $17 million to win your vote between now and spring.

Perry ping
Four MORE debates ?
Ugh
It’s like a bad soap opera or reality show.
...and Gingrich has announced he would seriously consider Allen West as his running mate should he win the nom.
Actually it looks like 13 (THIRTEEN!) more GOP primary debates to March 2012!!!

If he gave me that $17 million, I might vote for him, but that is a steep price for one vote.
How about counting how many times Cain flip-flops?
The MSM wants the GOP to pick the least electable candidate.
Sorry, but Perry and Romney acted like a couple of little kids last night, and both are RINO’s.
Cain, Gingrich and Bachmann are the only real conservatives running.
Swagger might be back but not the poll numbers. Let’s nominate the Texas Congressman not the Taxes Governor.
That's fine with me in this economy. He can have my vote for a nice set of 15" snow tires. Make that studded snow tires. I'm not a cheap date.
First of all Perry IS a conservative and second of all, he is the only one with any chance to beat Obama.
Cain is proving himself to be a likeable salesman, even with some good, but not well-formed conservative ideas, but no substance, nothing that would qualify him to be a president. Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck are more qualified, if you only look at the gift of gab, and that’s all that Cain has going for him.
Did you know that the way he turned Godfather’s Pizza around was by closing 20% of the restaurants and laying off some 400 people — some job creator!
Texas, under Perry, on the other hand created as many jobs as all the other 49 states put together.
From the looks of the polls, he'll need that much just to win the primary in Texas.
If they were underperforming, why not? A business has a responsibility to maximize profits. If that means cutting deadwood, then he's acting in the best interest of the investors. Job creation is not.
That's true if your only counting jobs for criminal illegal aliens. For Texas citizens, under Perry the unemployment rate has doubled.
Any candidate that needs wants or apports a “swagger” can KMA.
IMO, a very inappropriate term to anyone (not lacking intelligence) lacking simple life experience.
“Did you know that the way he turned Godfather’s Pizza around was by closing 20% of the restaurants and laying off some 400 people — some job creator!”
Sounds exactly like what we need for POTUS right now. We need a serious spending cutter! Someone to get in there and cut, cut, cut. I would imagine we could find 20% of our government to cut, and many, many gov’t. employees to lay off.
He is qualified. Thanks for making that so clear.
