When Texas Gov. Rick Perry entered the Republican presidential race in mid-August, he was touted as the candidate conservatives had been waiting for the antidote to the more country club sort of appeal of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. No longer.
Three months into his campaign, a new Washington Post-ABC News survey reveals that his numbers have not only fallen considerably among self-identified conservative Republicans, but also lag behind Romney and the majority of the other candidates for the GOP nomination.
Among all Republicans, 42 percent view Perry favorably while 38 percent see him in an unfavorable light. Perrys unfavorable ratings have been ticking rapidly upwards from 11 percent in September and 24 percent in October a sign that the more the party gets to know him, the less they like him.
But the trouble for Perry is even more apparent when you drill down to only those who call themselves conservative Republicans the people who tend to have outsized influence in picking the partys presidential nominee.

If that doesn't end his campaign what will?
Amen to that.
All the debates he supposedly “won”, I just kept thinking what a smug SOB he looked like.
Patronizing and condescending as if to say “You guys are just too cute, making me look good with your silly talk.”
BWHAHAHAHAHAH
LoL!
A pair of dykes works every time.
wait...?
Actually I like election season for some of the same reasons.
When it over I use the discarded yard signs for target practice.
He sucks MAJOR ***
Santorum has a SPECIAL set of problems.
Those Paulbots are, if nothing else, determined little buggers.
Some PaulBot kook keeps attaching his 4x8 Ron Paul signs to my fence and does so as fast as I can have them removed.
Hey, if you have an OWS site in your area, you could sell those signs to the hippies. I've seen Paul signs at the OWS sites, including the HQ at Zuccotti Park. Paulbots are proud members of the so-called "99%."
Huh....I did the Ctrl-C thing...guess I didn’t do it right. *sigh*
Thats funny, love it.
Besides, I prefer keeping the signs so they can't be utilized for their intended purpose of being seen. :-)
HTG?
lol! You’re forgiven. :-)
Good point!
I realize it would NEVER pass. He needs something to fire-up voters to give him another look and this might be the venue until it’s shot down.
I like to give credit where credit is due and I really like that he brought it up, but I see your point that he will be criticized also.
If he *sees* you, he won’t put another sign on your property....LOL.
If I was Perry I would hit the witch with the way she spearheaded the new minimum wage and how she herself exempted American Samoa.
And how 75% of employment there is through Starkist. A company she owns 17% of.
I consider Governor Perry a practical minded conservative. He is a man who considers those things that can work and not some-pie-in-the-sky scheme. Sometime conservatives get all wound up in theoretical ideas and fail to consider the pragmatic consequences.
Perry may not come off as the brilliant sage of a Newt Gingrich or the deft orator of a Mitt Romney. He is the salt of the Earth candidate who loves America and knows how to fix the most important issue: unemployment. As a pragmatist myself, I know that all of the other issues are secondary for the voter. To my dismay, Governor Perry’s debate performance has not convinced anyone that has the aptitude to get under the hood and fix America’s problem. However, neither has my auto mechanic when I hear him talk. I will say that I am impressed with his results when I get my car back. And looking at the work that Governor Perry has done with Texas, I would say he does a good job under the hood.
How rude is it to hang a PaulBot sign on someone's private property? And how stupid must one be to continue doing such a thing when the signs are expensive and every time one is hung it disappears?
And PaulBots think they are smarter than us. :-)
Punk kid, no doubt.
