“Thomas Jefferson - was a lousy public speaker. He was literally a genius...”
Does it take a genius like Thomas Jefferson to not grant in state tuition to Illegal Aliens?

I am with Hannity on this. The 53 seconds wasn’t a big deal and up until then, he was having his best debate ever. Could have happened to anyone...HAS happened to Obama...but no one made a big deal out of him doing it.
Close your eyes and imagine with me if you will the beauty of an Obama/Perry debate.
Yikes.
Don't cry for me Los Estados Unidos
The truth is I never loved you......
All through my Gore loving days
I smoked a lot of rock
I kept my promise

Perry can win if the entire nation gets really, really drunk the night before the election.
Yeah, and I can win if they go looking for a fat guy who is not named Chris Christie.
Maybe he can go back on Letterman and give his top 10 on “How Rick Perry Can Win” list.
I hate to point out the obvious, but James Richard Perry is no Thomas Jefferson. There are few if any people on earth, let alone in American politics, who are anywhere close, but Rick Perry certainly is not one of them.
What I like about perry is that he is genuine.
He is principled.
He sticks to his guns, but if he is off the mark, he reassess his position.
He aint no slick shyster.
Let me add my name to the list of those who don’t think the brain freeze was a big deal. The message he was trying to get out was the elimination of 3 government departments which I support. That is far and away the bigger story in my mind.
Actually, Perry may be a bit more of a "super genius".
Is this guy really a good leader? I have a good friend in Houston, and her stories about the public school system are curling my toes with all the PC crap. We don’t even have it that bad in New England. I realize the Governor doesn’t sit there and mandate exactly what goes on in schools, but a true leader would sway education away from that garbage. And don’t forget Gardisil (sp?) as long as we’re talking about kids.
The kids of responsible parents are forever being punished, while the others are doted on. Is this really the state we want to look up to??? Does the Governor have any influence on this? Or is he just a token in a state run by others? Is he a leader, or has he just been lucky with a productive state?
Not if he can’t get past a debate with Obama in the general election.
Therefore- my candidate is lousy at debates, so debates don't matter. Until he wins a debate, of course, then debates will be the most important thing.
Blah, blah, blah...
Ken Blackwell turning to denial to deal with the trauma of Perry’s collapse. Forget it, Ken. Perry is all hat, no cattle. He can’t beat Obama by runing $500 million in ads and hiding from debates, and the GOP faithful know that. He’s done.
Republicans who want to win won’t vote for Perry.
But I can see Democrats crossing over.
No matter how bad the economy, if Perry acted like he did in that debate, we’d lose. We’d lose house seats, senate seats.
We don’t want to lose.
Remember when they said that Christine O’Donnell would hurt other candidates? (they were wrong, but still)
Think of what would happen if Perry did that against Obama.
It would be impossible to argue for Perry and against Obama.
That was the single worst debate performance in tv history.
s
Anyone defending Perry at this point is irresponsible. In the future, their fitness as analysts would be questioned.
Santorum was hurt by being local to a Republican incumbent, Specter.
These pundits are suggesting that we take a car with no brakes on a cross country trip. It could work out fine, but typically, you die in a fiery crash.
Ya, and so can Duncan Hunter ...
