Excerpted since it's one of those sites. If you're shocked I'm saying something nice about Perry, don't be. It's a very savvy move by Perry and I can respect that. He's also brought in Tony Fabrizio, Neslon Warfield, and Curt Anderson. There does come a point at which the folks who helped get you elected in Texas might not be doing too good of a job on a national level. I think we'll see a stronger Rick Perry emerge. I may not be a Perry fan, but things will get interesting.

Allbaugh will Get Things Done, which is what Perry needs. From what I've heard from somebody I know with ties to his campaign, and from what this article and others are claiming, Dave Carney is being demoted, even if it's not in name, and that Allbaugh will have the power to hire and fire as he pleases.

Ping - this should make you happy. I’m saying something nice about Perry.

Word is that he made the call after First Lady Anita Perry expressed unhappiness with the way the campaign has operated and appealed to him to make changes.

That's certainly not going to impress some. He should have seen the problems himself.

I hear that Ed Rollins and Steve Schmidt are available...

Looking to shake up his ailing campaign Rick Perry has brought on the man who oversaw George W. Bush's presidential race a decade ago.

Hey! What about Karl Rove? Oh, right. Karl's working for Romney.

These are good moves. The campaign will start to be fun very, very soon.

things must be dire.

Perry personally called Allbaugh. Word is that he made the call after First Lady Anita Perry expressed unhappiness with the way the campaign has operated and appealed to him to make changes.

Wow!!!!!! Just Wow!!!!! I cannot believe that!!!!!!!! Words fail.......I am so speechless over this because of the disbelief that this sentence could even be true. For a minute second I feel sorry for him.....he is certainly in a pathetic state right now.

Good for him. I’m still deciding, so it’s nothing that seal the deal or anything. As for this as a result of the wife’s suggestion, I don’t see any problem. If it’s the missus who saw the weakness of the campaign, good for her (and for him too!).
