A reenergized Rick Perry ventured to Washington today, telling a group of about 50 K Street insiders that he is stepping up his game after taking an "ass kickin'" this fall, according to the National Journal's Chris Frates.

Perry, who is struggling to regain momentum after his campaign's initial "love fest," kept himself in the game with this week, reporting strong fundraising numbers and putting up an improved performance during Tuesday's debate. But his fundraising has reportedly taken a hit, and the Texas Governor still has a tough slog ahead as he tries to claw his way back to the front of the 2012 Republican field.

I don’t care hoe much money he raises. Nominate W 2.0 and Obama wins in a cakewalk.

The big money guys are backing off now that they've found out the ruling factions in today's Republican party really don't think low cost illegal aliens are all that necessary to the economy.

Doesn't matter how much money they give Perry to campaign if he can't deliver the goods ~ and he can't.

Neither can Willard.

That’s what happens when you tell 70% of the American people that they don’t have a heart. What a stupid, stupid, comment. That is what has sunk his campaign more than anything.

I was at the debate, he was worse in person The next day he spoke in front of about 150 of us Republican activists and the response was embarrassing. He spoke from notes,..the only candidates to do so. He didn’t even place in the straw poll.

That link doesn’t show me the article. Does one have to be registered at business insider to access it?

Not only does Perry need to learn to wait his turn to talk but he needs to learn “ass kickin’” isn't very presidential.

Yes, as shown by Obama’s “lookin’ for whose ass to kick” comment...could be used in the future if nominated.
