I seriously doubt your claim about dramatic changes.

If Perry finishes in single digits in Iowa, Nevada, and NH, is anyone backing him going to stop claiming he has unseen momentum? Will there be dramatic changes then?

“Just wait until Texas!” will be the battle cry.

The Newt ping list is filled with people who previously supported a candidate, but are committed to stopping Mitt Romney. Perry has invested more in Iowa than Romney, and the polling isn’t showing significant gains. Gingrich has barely spent anything, and he leads. I’m just not seeing Perry’s path to victory anymore.

The real question is: If Perry finishes fourth in Iowa, will any Perry backers join the stop Romney movement? I’m just not getting that vibe - I am seeing Perry backers as more like Paul backers in that they seem to be in this thing for one candidate, damn the consequences. I hope I’m wrong.

I cannot overstate how important it is to stop Mitt Romney from winning this nomination.

"I am seeing Perry backers as more like Paul backers in that they seem to be in this thing for one candidate, damn the consequences."

In Rick Perry's book, "Fed Up" Newt Gingrich praises Rick Perry to no end. You ought to read it and by the way, that is a way overgeneralized statement. I love Newt but will vote for Perry!

I don’t give a rats *** about Romney.
It’s Obama we need to stop.

Perry is not going to quit - even if he is in 4th place in Iowa - he will continue on to New Hampshire. He said so this week.

Perry supporters are just like Perry - they don’t quit.
Most Perry supporters don’t jump from candidate to candidate (not that there is any thing wrong with that)but they are rock solid in their support.

You need to address your question later after we get to something like half time........

The game hasn’t started yet and there are 4 quarters.

Perry is warming up and he has a team (army actually) full of talent and spirit backing him up.

Gov. Bobby Jindal is awesome! This is exciting.

Rick Perry 2012!!!

I see you’re worried that if we don’t circle the wagons around Newt now that Romney will slip in and win.

I’ve stated many times that I will back Newt if he is the nominee, but I think you are panicing too soon.

Perry is an excellent campaigner; he should strike a real chord with Iowans but I don’t intend to dismiss him if he doesn’t do well in Iowa, although I think he will.

Does Iowa rule the nation? I personally think all primaries should be on the same day.

I don’t know the statistics about how many Iowa winners went on to get the nomination, but ...

Anyway, just wait till Texas is not the cry. It’s usually pretty well over by the time Texas votes.

Don’t panic. I personally think the support for Newt is based to a great extent on the perception that he’s the one who can win.

If anyone else shows momentum, I see a lot of bandwagon jumping on and off.
