Debating shows the inner intelligence of a person.
You have to know the subjects discussed very clearly.Inside and out.
You have to think fast,and to come back with an appropriate response.
Perry did none of these, and stuck to his talking points given to him by his handlers.
Perry should have backed off on the gardener issue, because Romney had a good excuse for that.
Perry could not let it go, because he had nothing else to offer.
He looked dumb, and we all know there are dumb politicians out there. Perry is one of them.Just because you are a governor, does not mean that you are smart. It just means that you know how to campaign.
The most intelligent person at the debate was Newt, he is awesome in his debating skills.

I’ve noticed that as well. Whatever Newt’s “tarnished past”, why is it so hard to imagine that his experiences could actually make him much wiser and more effective this time around? Listen to the man and he sounds solid and presidential.

And yet we conservatives have to sit here mumbling, “He’s unelectable, he’s unelectable...”

He opens his mouth...and it's a history lesson.

I would have no problem voting for him.
