We agree on Romney and we have for years! He came right to me so I was shocked and mumbled “good luck” and he said “I think I’ll need it” and I said, “Yeah, I think you’re right, we’re the Tea Party Party, ya know,” and he asked me what he needed to do!

The radio station that hosted the after the debate event took the photo of me with him, so I hope the photographer follows through on his promise to email it to me so I can post it here, along with the photos he took of me with Bachmann and Newt. Perry took his own picture with me using my throw away camera...lol. I will have that developed and hope it turns out all right.

I managed to position myself front and center in the receiving line, and was really surprised that each spent so much time talking to me. I made the best of my time with each one.

It was an “after party,” so my impressions are based on that atmosphere. Perry is a very nice and fun guy but not very serious, and I came away depressed. I have stood before greatness, (RWR) and stood before mediocrity several times, and I think he falls into the latter category. I told him I hope he’s ready in foreign policy and in jest (I hope) I think he said “what’s that?”.

I don’t know that he’s electable either, just 4 short years after President Bush, but aside from Ron Paul and Mitt Romney, we almost have to be *anyone but obama* so long as we’re not supporting any amnesty/sell out candidate. Been there/done that.

It’s still a long way to go until the first primary.

Not questioning your first hand opinion of Perry. I wasn't there. Just can't believe he's not a serious man. A three time Governor! Both Gov Bobby Jindel and Gov Bob McDonnell have endorsed Perry. I can't see either one supporting Perry if they thought he was a flake. Everyone I've spoken to says he's one of the best retail politicians they've ever seen. Which means, like Reagan, he connects with people first hand.

>>>>>It’s still a long way to go until the first primary.

That's true. At this point objective analysis is the best I have to offer.

Ping me if the pics come out. Thanks.
