Perry, among REAL Republicans in Ia, you got hammered as well. Santorum won these, 27-25% Bob
Perry was PAID megabucks to “reassess” himself back into the race, by a Romney supporter, I suspect.
=============================================
If Perry had not started out with a huge war chest... we would not know his name.
You got that right.
Perry spent over $6 million for fifth place. After his debate flops, his campaign "stressed" his so-called strengths----quirky to say the least:
<><>he trucked in an army of Texans to tell Iowans how to vote;
<><> he brought California pols to Iowa (California?);
<><> he spent millions on non-stop ads on local media and Fox news;
<><>he stressed his faith (proving once again religion is the last refuge of a scoundrel).
Money can't makeup for his amateurish campaign. Perry was in single digits throughout---and sank like a rock on election day. Perry was a dismal miserable disaster ---one of the worst candidates in political history. Hopefully he will drop out and do America a favor and never appear again.
========================================
BACKSTORY Perry blew $6 million for a fifth place Iowa ribbon--billed as his "first" election loss.
Actually that was Perry's second election loss----he did not officially enter the first go-round---the Iowa straw poll---but manipulated the vote from Texas. That was supposed to take a self-assured Perry over the top. Instead he garnered a pitiful 700 write-ins. Michelle Bachmann won with 4000 votes. Perry came stomping into Iowa flashing the victory sign as if he had actually won. In fact...he was the front-runner for a short period of time....until the first debate.
=================================================
How much money does Perry have......who is sending him donations?
Perry entered the prez race with three PACs (that we know of).....teeming with money.
He was raising 2012 money while campaigning for governor, promising trusting Texans he would not run for president if they reelected him....b/c he knew a sitting governor running for president was more credible.
One crony PAC---Make America Great Again---raised $55 million. Probably some of that was used for Perry's ploy to make himself look good early in the Iowa caucuses----saying he had "raised more than any other candidate"----$17 mill.
So there's lots of money standing by.
We'll soon be looking at Perry crowing that his fifth place loss garnered him a huge chunk of "donations."
I never once complained about Perrys debate performances.
I knew about his back pain and gave him a pass on most of his missteps. The pass can’t last forever. And what the
h#ll is quirky suppose to imply? You haven’t been advising
Perry, have you?
“You havent been advising Perry, have you?”
LOL. No. I don’t advise him. You’re one up on me having seen him twice. I never have except on the news. But, I read everything Ican get my eyes on. I said “quirky” because that was the word de jour out of Iowa.
Have a good day, I will, 62 degrees here today !
Note tagline.
Thanks Liz.
Fact is he has plenty of money, we will see how far that takes him.
Once Perry got out of the stockyards with all the BS, got some fresh air. Why do you think Romney hauled A** to Carolina. HE fears PERRY.
