Tomorrow's cover of Time Magazine:

Perry takes the entire south, Iowa, and much of the west and midwest.

Buh-bye Willard.

The air seems a little mercky today for Rove’s RINO puppet.

That “5 O’Clock dark shadow” image reminds me of Time’s OJ cover photo.

There have been posts on this website suggesting the general situation with Perry is that although when campaigning he might have the twang of a southern conservative, underneath all that beats the heart of an elitist RINO.

People are desperate for the truth, and he’s telling it vis a vis Social Security.

I think Perry has it in the bag as well, the structure of the primaries and all, but that is one unflattering picture of Rick Perry. Figures the rag would give him the unflattering light, while the Obamas’ pics are airbrushed.

We'll see.

There is still an all-out assault on him from the left and from pockets of the right.

If his numbers today still look similar in a month, then yes he'll win it. If the attempt at demonizing him succeeds, then it will be Romney.

>> There have been posts on this website suggesting the general situation with Perry bla bla bla

What kind of mealy-mouthed nonsense is that? There have been “posts on this website suggesting” all sorts of strange things.

So what? What’s your point?

The MSM is at it again, trying to pick the loosing opponent for 0bama.

Just give me Sarah Palin...she can win it all.

These liberal rags always do this to Repubs. Try and make them look scary/old/weird/etc. I don’t know why they don’t demand approval of the images.

The bottom line here is despite his faltering debating style, Perry is still the candidate who appeals to the grass roots of the Republican Party. More to the point, Romney’s clear edge on the podium does not cancel out the fact conservatives neither like nor trust him. That may render his nomination ultimately impossible.

The coming weeks may provide sterner tests for Perry, and his lead may shrink in the coming months. But if Romney cannot make up some ground with conservatives and Tea Partiers, it may not matter how many debates he wins. As this poll demonstrates, the nomination is still Perry’s to lose.

Can someone ease my concerns about Perry. I mean, I really like the guy and will support him but...

1. He didn’t do to well in his first two debates. Will he/can he improve?

2. There’s no doubt that his views on SS, while accurate, will be used against him by the Rats. They’re going to pound him relentlessly with this. If he loses the senior vote over this, he’s in trouble.

3. I have concerns that many independents view him as extreme (not only on the SS issue but also on his religious views) and the Dems are going to take advantage of this, should Perry be our nominee.

I know this is not a popular view but right now, I think Romney would beat Obama. I’m not as confident Perry would.

I don’t think it’s unflattering. I think the pic makes him look manly.
