NEW YORK -- With his poll standing sagging, Rick Perry spent Friday asking Republican donors and other supporters in the Empire State not to write off his presidential candidacy.

"His message is he still feels he's in it, and he feels it could still go his way," said John Catsimatidis, a supermarket mogul who met privately with the Texas governor. "I think Rick Perry is very personable. I would almost give him a Bill Clinton aspect -- you meet him, you like him."

I’m not a Perry basher, but I really don’t see where he fits in this scenario. Gingrich and Cain seem to be fighting over the conservative vote, but moderates (or whatever, not gonna argue it) seem perfectly content to stay with Romney, and Romney voters seem to be the ones Perry thinks he can get. So I’m not sure where he is going to get votes from.

"It makes my skin crawl when they attack Rick Perry for one of the best things he did," Clinton said.

We're even, Bill. You and your stump-legged wife have been making my skin crawl for decades.

Governor Sarah Palin has a much better chance of being the nominee, and she isn’t even running!!

Maybe Perry can hope to stay alive ... and if MILT gets knocked out, he has the financing to fight Newt all the way to the convention or at least through March.

The whole thing ain’t over even if somebody sweeps IA NH SC FL.
But Milt ain’t droppin’ out.

Could be correct, he is so far behind, and so out of touch, he thinks he is leading the pack. However, he is about to be lapped.

Perry gets more and more weird as time passes.

----must be using The Loser Playbook-----the one his pal Giuliani clung to on his own road to Flopsville.......

Perry needs to face up to reality----he ain't in Texas anymore.

Perry hardly inspires voter confidence-——he careens back and forth, creating disaster after disaster.

In Texas, his record is one of sheer horror:

<><> this “conservative” signed the gay-friendly ‘hate crimes’ bill that GWB had vetoed (nearly costing him the presidency).

<><> blithely using govt power to take 500,000 acres of private land from trusting Texans for his Tran-Texas Corridor insider deal,

<><> his Gardasil EO generated bigtime campaign donations from Merck,

<><> raining tax dollars on illegals, including the infamous in-state tuition,

<><> sucking up to Mexico, allowing the Mexican pledge of allegiance and singing the Mexican ntl anthm in Texas schools,

<><> sucking up to Islam; Sharia law is part of the Texas justice system and at least one triumphal mosque has been built there.

Perry is relentlessly STUPID and is trying to force his stupidity on the US. Perry’s contempt for voters and for US ntl interests is appalling-—he recently announced his INSANE plan to LEGALIZE all Illegals on US soil-—which will trigger another wave of govt-dependents to our shores.
