I never counted Perry out. My opinion is that the only person standing in the way of Romney is Perry. Early on I thought Pawlenty (before Perry declared) might be the Romney stopper, but he never got traction.

Newt’s going to peter out just as Cain did. Once the DBM starts piling on, he won’t be able to surface for air.

If the Gingrich voters go to Perry, Romney can be stopped.

Many have not given Perry a second or third look because he is not “golden tongued”. To those people, I say pick your poison. Perry or Romney.

Disclosure: I’m not crazy about any of the candidates, but will not sit this one out. I’ll pick the most conservative one I believe can beat Obama. Wish Gov. McDonnell or Sen. DeMint were running.

Thank you for the comments.

“Drudge,” who is friends with Mitt Romney’s campaign manager, has Ron Paul as his lead picture and story. The Romney camp needs Paul to do well and diminish Gingrich going into NH. But giving Paul anymore traction improves chances he’ll mount a 3rd party run. Enter Obama-2.

With voters moving to Perry it will be a new election (no-Romney).

No Obama.

10th Amendment President Perry.

What people have to ask themselves is: if elected, what candidate would be most likely to do the right thing conservative-wise? Between the three (Perry,Romney, Gingrich), I'd say Perry is easily the one most likely to hold firm to conservative principles. I don't condemn anyone for changing a past position i.e. flipflopping if the change is based on conviction and not simply political expediency.

That's my question about Gingrich. He's made a lot of counter-conservative statements in the past i.e. AGW, and now supposedly rejects them. Is he serious about his changes? Perry certainly hasn't distinguished himself with his public speaking during this campaign, but I'll bet he's the most solid conservative with a proven track record.
