He can't. It would be incredibly weak of him to not participate. I can't believe his handlers don't know that and wouldn't advise against it. Then again, he's done nothing but drop like a rock, due in part to his inability to defend his liberal position on ILLEGAL immigration during the debates. It's a tough position to be in for sure. But making tough decisions under pressure is what presidents do.
I knew he hurt himself immensely, the minute he uttered his poor choice of words; “you don’t have a heart,”...!
I know he would love to take back those words, but he can’t. Those words have stuck in the minds of conservatives because liberals have beaten us over our heads for decades with that very invective.
He came into the race unprepared for the zoom to the top and also unprepared as a national candidate. He’s only now releasing his tax and job growth plan, but it’s late and it’s basically Steve Forbes’ plan; and apparently Governor Perry couldn’t answer some questions about it.
“At this snapshot in time,” I don’t see how he recovers. He raised good money when he first entered. It will be interesting to see how much he’s raised since he’s dropped so drastically in the polls.
I don’t know if you saw it, but there is an article posted here -— about a poll -— that was not good for Perry: voters think he’s a major A$$—— ( or something similarly unflattering. Too many juvenile spats with Romney, which made him look mean.
Sheeesh. GO AFTER THE MARXIST, like Mr. Speaker and Herman Cain! Ignore THAT POS Romney, like Herman Cain and Mr. Speaker!
