Here read this: "Perry just killed it at the Huckabee Forum!! He was incredibly passionate and won over a lot of undecided voters in the Coliseum at the College of Charleston! I did my part as well after the forum. ;) We also had a terrific event this morning at the Okra Grill in Mount Pleasant. I worked every voter in that place and I can tell you we're about to surge through the Palmetto State. I was also able to recruit for CSU as I spoke to parents of high school parents. Ladies and gentlemen we're back in this thing and South Carolina is about to turn the tide for Rick Perry!!!!"
And this: Huckabee Forum!!!..Barbara Smith of Summerville said she thought she was going to support Newt Gingrich. But she was impressed that Perry was so lively and vibrant during the forum. "He threw a socket wrench into my decision-making today."
And I read a story where all the journalist could think to write about Rick Perry was that the dogs in SC liked him.
Perry made the observation that dogs have good instincts.
