Your hero is polling at 3%. As a presidential candidate, that makes him a loser. Not to mention that 2 months ago Newt wasn't even registering in the polls he was down so low and today he's leading. And 2 weeks ago Cain was leading but he's now sinking like a rock! So go ahead an laugh. Your choice will be Perry or Romney in a couple of months and then Perry or Obama next November.
The Perry campaign is in the gutter -- literally. He has only one chance at making a comeback. He has to change his position(s) on ILLEGAL immigration, something he is not going to do. Even if he did most have seen him for the pro-ILLEGAL alien loser that he is and have soundly rejected him because of it.
When it comes to presidential politics Perry = Loser.
