It depends on the goal. If the goal is to win the nomination, it was a bad strategy. If the goal is to destroy Mitt, it was a good strategy. I am not so sure.

Well, both goals can work together. I think Perry, Cain or Newt will eventually win out among the “non Mitt” semi final voters and will beat Mitt. I just don’t see Mitt getting over the hump. (Nor do I see Huntsman winning the elitist semi final).
The vast majority of the past Democrat primary fights have been over who attacked Bush the best. It has been effective for them for the most part.
I’d much prefer Perry destroy Mitt than win win the nomination.
