(And Perry is backed by the GOP Establishment.)
1. Please produce ANY poll that substantiates this.
2. Perry is backed by grassroots republicans and conservative independents. Look at the most recent Rasmussen poll for proof. Mitt Romney is backed by the GOP establishment. Must you lurk another 9 years to understand this???
Polls don’t show who the GOP Establishment is backing.
But when you’ve got the likes of Haley Barbour backing you, yes the GOP Establishment is behind you. They’d have been happy with Mitt or one of the other guys they tried to get to run, but that wasn’t working and so they got someone who goes along with the program but could be passed off as a tea party conservative to run. That would be JR “Rick” Perry.
No reason to insult me due to your ignorance.
