Surprisingly, this could happen in my part of Iowa. Perry seems to be catching on recently. No one's really paying attention to Perry. He might squeak past Newt, just depends on how Newt does the week after Christmas.

Perry is working hard and the good folks of Iowa appreciate that kind of hard work. Romney has his super PAC coming out with ads trying to tarnish both Rick and Newt but I think people are on to them, they’ve been caught in so many lies they aren’t likely to make much headway.

I was a Cain supporter, and was really turned off by the rhetoric of some of the Perry supporters. I DO like his current batch of ads, and he is getting a second look, along with Santorum.

Perry is the logical beneficiary if Gingrich really does fall and voters still want to reject Romney. For all his campaign warts, he is the best positioned to be a president. He has the economic track-record and also in Iowa has the social conservative record. Santorum or Bachmann are good on the issues, but lack the governing experience and performance of Perry in Texas. I still greatly struggle with his campaigning ability, and fear another cycle and possibly another presidency with a less than formidable communicator, but he does seem to be getting better, and and Iowa top three could reinvigorate his campaign.

I predicted about a year ago that Romney would win the nomination and Obama would win reeelection. I was hoping to be wrong. I think I was right regardless of what happens in the early primary states.

Of these 4 bozos, I would go for Perry. He seems to backtracked a bit in his handling of illegal immigration and at least he is not pushing newtonian amnesty. Newt is the most unacceptable because of his amnesty fanatics.

I hope Bachmann or Santorum would be the surprise finisher though.

Leftists pumping Paul for all they are worth.

Perry will be making a comeback off his bottom.

I’ve been saying so for 3 months...Perry will come in 1st or 2nd in Iowa. Paul doesn’t count. His support does noit come from Republicans.

You’re relying on a poll that shows Ron Paul winning Iowa. If you believe that’s possible, I’ve got some bridges to sell you....

Good grief, where do you get off posting this drivel?

“Besides Paul’s top position, Perry is now third or fourth in most of the polling.”

Right, Perry and Bachmann are both tied at 6% nationwide and the leaders are ahead of them averaging over 20 points.

I can’t say I’m a big Perry fan with some of his baggage, but I’ll take him over Mitt & Newt in a heartbeat. Perry is the best of the long shots at this point. I’m still convinced we get a RINO and fear that Romney takes the nomination in the end. I THINK the GOP still takes the White House due to the economic depression, but Romney will cause a good chunk of the base to stay home or vote 3rd party.
