The same sort of concept based on the Nash Equilibrium works here: so long as Perry is a "nice girl" candidate, and not a cross-dresser like Romney, we are all better off pulling for a candidate like Perry than we are pining for - and chasing after - the political "striking hottie" because we may all end up being left with no-one to go home with if having that "striking" candidate as our nominee materially reduces the chances of our candidate winning the general election. Perry works, and even though he is not as ideologically perfect as the purists would prefer, he represents something analogous to a Nash equilibrium that gives us all a better chance of having the next President be sympathetic to our principles rather than antithetical to them, as is the current denizen of the White House.

So you're saying I shouldn't hold out for Jim DeMint?
