Perry is a brave man, loyal to his ideas (in-state-tuition), and honest to the voters.

Why brave? Very few politicions have the courage to follow the Walter Mondale model.

Is this a WaPo editorial page article, or a gossip column? There’s this weird catty undertone that is more suited to a glamor magazine than a major American newspaper.

Not really a Perry guy, but he did well on Fox News Sunday today from what I saw of it.

It’s so nice to see that the commie libs are so worried about Rick Perry’s future. I wish I could repay them by worrying about their boy’s future but I don’t do that.

Perry wasted too much of his fire on Romney when he ought to have been focused on O.

The Romniacs, for their part, have always made the same mistake, going after fellow Repubs like Palin instead of focusing their attacks on the guy in the White House.

For Perry, this is beginning to look like a re-run of his campaign for governor. He refused to debate Bill White throughout, and periodically issued bland policy pronouncements from time to time. I am beginning to see why. The cut and thrust of live debate is not his metier. Speeches are not his thing. My guess is that if he wants to become president, he will have to stick to his time-tested template - focusing on his strengths (organizing political operatives, fundraising and deciding on growth-oriented economic policies) and avoiding his weaknesses (public-speaking, press conferences and debates). Can he win while being scourged by the press for avoiding any direct exposure to the public eye? We’ll get to find out if he wins the GOP nomination.

This Jennifer Rubin is another one of the crackpots who write for the Washington Compost.

I can't believe that candidates are being suggested as through even though there hasn't been one primary election yet and none is scheduled for several months. Are we gonna let the Press decide who the Republican nominee is or are we gonna have primary elections decide?

I'm gonna scream is I hear of any polls forcing out any of the candidates before we have had a good number of primaries. There are very good reasons to let this drag out for 6-7 more months. I'm not in any hurry to have this end. What the hell is the rush?

At the Cornerstone Action Dinner Friday night he touted his new economic plan. His delivery was strangely mannered and giddy, as if trying to compensate for his sleepy demeanor in recent debates. Plainly, he is struggling to address his likability problem and hasn’t quite found the right tone.
Though it wrought me much grief from the Perry-winkles on here, I've tried telling people for months.....Perry dude is dumb as a coal bucket.

It is awfully early to call anyone’s candidacy dead. IIRC, McCain was in the single digits at this stage of the 2008 campaign. The politicos are all over the campaign but the vast majority of even primary voters aren’t really paying much attention yet. What we do know is the rank and file Republican voter doesn’t like Mitt Romney and is likely to jump on board of any candidacy which would deny him the nomination. There are lots of huge swings left in the polls but with one constant, Romney stays at about 25%.
