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.
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.
The MSM is at it again, trying to pick the loosing opponent for 0bama.
Just give me Sarah Palin...she can win it all.
ditto.
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.
if he is going to be the nominee he is going to have to handle debates better than he did on Monday
Tell it to Giuliani, Thompson, and Huckabee who had all been featured in TIME by this time in 2007.
[Which brings us to Mitt Romney, whose basic political problem is that he comes from the Northeastern wing of the party ]
No, it comes from the fact that his is a flip-flopper who can’t be trusted and a big government statist.
ABR=======>Anybody But Romney
George H. W. Bush was the likely general-election winner for 1992...in 1991.
Remind me. How’d that end up working out?
Nobody outside of Texas knows anything about him. He’s got a tall order to get at least the same level of name recognition as Obama. Many voters in the general election vote only on that. I had never really heard of Rick Perry until relatively recently and follow politics somewhat. Those who don’t follow at all aren’t paying attention right now.

Another in the predictable series of horrid cover photos of conservatives. It looks like a mug shot.
