[Perry can effectively run against Obama]

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 might agree with you except we have no one else who can be looked at as the perfect candidate. I have no idea if Perry can pull this off, but then, who can? I don't know. This seems to be a matter of timing and given enough time, they all seem to shoot themselves in the foot which brings them down and the next in line rises.

Who is next? Gradually, Perry's "heartless" statement doesn't seem so relevant. Perry still has the record.

I recently looked at favorability in a recent poll that had Perry at 2% in Florida. His favorability was very low which seemed strange until you looked at the internals.

All other candidates supporters had reasonably high favorability of Perry except Mitt's and Ron Pauls supporters which were in single digits. If you look at whose supporters liked Perry the second best was Santorums so I would say there is a strong Mitt and Paul drag on Perry in the polls.

Perry has at least 20 million. The best record on social and economic issues and I hope he stays in until the convention.

There is no freaking way, after this whole process that I am going to have to choose between Mitt and Newt. Two flip flopping, social moderate, gun grabbing politicians with no record of achievement for the last 6 years. No way.

Oh I'll vote for whomever is left standing but if it really boils down to Newt or Mitt I will vote for the guy with the best hair because in the US that's worth at least 2 percentage point while being fat and short and white is minus 2. Hate that it's that way but it is and I want to beat Obama, not put John McCain without the war record up against him.
