It then means that either one of the other has-been anti-Romneys gets another look or we get Romney. And that is what Romney has been banking on all along.
Santorum was mired in single digits just a couple of weeks ago. Given the history, he could end back up there again. And then we have to decide who can be recycled to be the anti-anti-Romney.
Realize the dynamic and fight it. We need to build the anti-Romneys up instead of tearing them down.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but you’ve just made some sensible posts on here.
And you are so right. Santorum and Gingrich have their good points, even some excellent points, but they are both fragile candidates very subject to collapse.
I say this not to knock them, but because it’s the truth and I think everybody knows it even if they don’t want to admit it.
I’m glad Rick Perry is still in. Everyone should be.
For the Lord’s sake, we don’t want to be left with nobody substantial to fight Romney.
Perry hasn’t done well so far but so far is not very far.
His negatives are mostly in the eye of some beholders who are bitter clingers to the idea that Perry is pro illegal when he is not.
Unlike Newt and Santorum, Perry has had to deal with the illegal problem and he’s done so well. He does have a plan for the border but it is naive to say ‘build a fence,’ when you consider the border in Texas. It’s gonna take more sophisticated tactics than that, which is physically impossible.
Most of the Perry haters are clinging to old stories that have been refuted and explained many times.
We may well need Perry. I wish him well and I wish the country well.
