LOL Perry being behind someone who dropped out!
Oh my. I hadn't even noticed that.
I've been wondering why on earth he's still in it, after his terrible showing in Iowa, and his low polling over the last few months, but his measly 5% isn't going to get Newt past Romney. We need the other Rick to drop out to make that happen.
Sadly, it appears that he's not going to, even though he doesn't have a complete enough package to win the nomination, then take out Obama in the general. Unless this man gets some kind of realization about where this race is really headed, I'm afraid he's going to ensure a Romney win, i.e., four more years of Obama.
Perry is seemingly tied with Stephen Colbert in S. Carolina.
Rick Perry turned out to be the Fred Thompson of 2012. What happened in both cases is that conservatives put all their hopes in each and both bombed leaving conservatives scattering in all directions. In 2008, I knew Thompson would bomb from the moment he made his announcement to Jay Leno and he couldn't even muster a smile. His utter lack of energy while campaigning told me he just wasn't into it. With Perry, he turned out to be a TERRIBLE debater. Also he keeps repeating about his record for business growth in Texas ad nauseum.
So how can we clone Ronald Reagan?
