[Perry may actually benefit from being excluded from the big debate on Thursday]
Anyone participating in the 2nd tier debate might as well hang it up. They will forever be known as the candidates who didn’t make the cut.

Perry has an opportunity to rebound from his demotion, and a good performance with a smaller debate group may work to his advantage.
