Perry Ground Game: An Old-Fashioned Bus Tour
Texas Tribune ^ | December 13, 2011 | Ben Philpott and Jay Root

DES MOINES, Iowa — If Iowa voters are going to give Gov. Rick Perry the “second look” he wants, there's not much time for browsing.

With just three weeks before the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses, the governor is embarking on an old-fashioned bus tour through the Hawkeye State, hoping his natural ability to connect with voters will keep his struggling campaign alive.

Perry has scheduled nearly 50 events between Wednesday and Jan. 2. By the time the tour ends, he will have visited some 42 towns and cities.

“Being on a bus in a state like Iowa, it just allows us to get to more stops and more places. It allows people driving down the road in Iowa to honk and wave,” said Perry campaign manager Rob Johnson. “There’s an excitement and an energy. … We’re excited about the next couple of weeks.”

Thank you.

How many Rick Perry articles are permitted on FR in a given day?

Looks like the Admin Mod addressed the “spamming” issue. Would you like some cheese ?

Thank You Cincinatus’ Wife

That is an excellent Video!

No limit on that, and none has been enforced, let alone suggested by the mods or Jim, and you know it.

All I know is that Perry threads have been de-linked from the side bar regularly. So if someone in authority comes up with a number of permitted “frontpage,” “extended,” “editorial,” etc. articles allotted to certain candidates please FReepmail me or write a vanity. To my knowledge Gov. Rick Perry is still an acceptable GOP candidate on FR.

You were told in the recent past to stop spamming the sidebars. You are being told again here. Once again, quit pretending otherwise that you were unaware.

I must address your characterization of “pretending otherwise” to the thread.

I am merely asking how many articles can be posted with a selected “topic” that places them in a side-bar category, so that I can be assured that if I post, say 3 Perry threads in one day, that 2 of them won’t be buried (sometimes the best ones go “poof! into chat).” If I’m allowed 1 Perry thread a day (or hopefully 2) then I suppose I could wait to the end of the day’s new cycle to make the best selections once I know the limit allowed Perry.

I am as conservative as they come and I will be voting for Rick Perry. My wish pick would have been Jim Demint but Demint is not running although he may endorse Perry soon.

You posted three Perry articles in a short period of time into Extended this morning. That is spamming, and you were recently told to not do that.

I will not give you specific numbers, you just need to limit what is most newsworthy into Extended. If Perry rises back to frontrunner status, more articles will become truly newsworthy. The mods reserve the right to make that determination.

It seems a lot of people are holding their powder on endorsements. It’s telling that they’re being a bit circumspect and letting the voters lead.

CW, your dedication to Gov. Perry's candidacy is admirable. Please don't stop posting articles about him. I've been a fan of his since before he announced, but have to admit I got pretty discouraged during the early debates. I'm elated to see that he's still got a good shot at the nomination.

Former frontrunner Mitt's $10,000 bet is clobbering him, and Newt's warts are being given the attention they deserve. Who but Gov. Rick Perry, with his stellar record as Governor of the great state of Texas, his family values, his love of God and country, along with his military service, has earned the Republican nomination for President of the United States.

Indeed! Hopefully, Perry will cross the finish line in first place.
