Perry can effectively run against Obama as the one with the record of creating jobs while Obama destroyed them.
I highly disagree. Perry has been forever labeled as stupid and unable to perform under pressure. Perry is also not well liked among the base.
The voting public never forgets that about a candidate and the MSM will ram it home around the clock.
I like Perry even as I recognize the enormous blunders he’s made so far in his public appearances i.e. debates. What conservatives have to think about is what candidate will best undo the leftist welfare state and be the one most likely to heed the constitution. That sounds like Perry to me. He’s certainaly no intellectual, but he understands what has to be done. None of the candidates understands as much policy and other esoteric things like Gingrich. But we’re not trying to elect the best intellectual, we want the strongest conservative. Perry if far more likely to do the conservative thing than either Mitt or Newt.
