Romney can't make any serious attack on Perry from the right. Perry is plausibly conservative and Romney isn't. There is no serious candidate to Perry's right who can benefit from the effort to portray Perry as a squish. Cain lacks the institutional and organizational support to compete. So does Bachmann (plus she's a loon).

The bottom line is that this ad doesn't sting. It's an in- kind contribution to the Perry general election campaign fund. Romney is helping Perry's outreach to Hispanic voters and demolishing the Democrat argument that Perry is an unelectable, fire-breathing, Tea Party extremist.

I agree... but Perry still has to win the primary, that’s the trick.

You’re so wrong. Perry is finished because he is being perceived as a clone of George Bush with all his pro-llegal rhetoric.

Nice point.
