I'm starting to warm to Newt but Perry is still my guy by far.

Both Perry and Newt Gingrich are marred by previous, disabling dalliances with -- in Perry's case -- short lists of high-dollar contributors with specific agenda (including Open Borders(TM)), whom he caters for -- various liberal causes and ideas. Gingrich, in addition, was a weak Speaker, lost badly several key political battles with Bill Clinton and his Beastwoman, and has personal moral baggage which constitutes an electoral hurdle inasmuch as most of the women in the United States hate his guts, notwithstanding that they were provoked to that hatred by a number of Democrat-invented political lies and canards.
The only real conservatives still left in the race are Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann. Cain's out for good and Sarah Palin is still on the sidelines (if only she would jump in -- liberals and neo-Stalinist Progs dread her and hate her virulently, which to me is the modern Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval).
