You know, now that Perry is hitting his stride, I’m pondering how the rats are going to deal with it in terms of crossing over in the primaries, insulating vulnerable demographics, etc.
They can’t really cross over for Romney, because he lead zero in most of the polls I’ve read. Same for Perry, because he’ll be roughly in the same polling position in 7 weeks. So who do they crossover for? Cain or Gingrich?
Also, Perry peeling off the white male democrat vote, ones that didn’t vote for Hillary OR zero last go around OR in the general. What are the going to do about that?
If you're interested, there was discussion about this OpEd writer's supposing:
Another nice thing about Perry is that he has no baggage.
His actions and opinions are already out there and have been gone over more closely than agents at the airport go over the baggage of your average 95 year old lady.
You may disagree with some of his positions but nothing will come up to bite him.
