On the death penalty question, Perry more than redeemed himself in my opinion. Since that came toward the end of the debate, that might be the last impression he left on those getting exposed to him for the first time. This was certainly a Doug Flutie Hail Mary (BC over Miami) moment for our governor.
Couldnt agree more. Romney and Gingrich were trouncing Perry until MSNBC walked right into a left hook with the death penalty question as time was running out saving Perry. Brian Williams is the one who cannot sleep tonight. (no. I am not a Romney fan).
That is Perry’s style. Speaks halting. Not a problem.
I know what you’re talking about. I was at Perry rally last year and when he started talking he was awkward.
One minute in people were standing and cheering, kids were standing in their seats yelling. A minute later some of the adults were standing in the seats cheering and yelling.
He projects the image of a real leader who speaks from his heart, and I think he is all of that. And people really respond.
I highly recommend going to a Perry rally. It is quite interesting to see it play out.
Very, very high energy and exciting.
