“Yes, I really think he can beat Obama electorally; otherwise I would not support him. He can’t debate his way out of a paper bag but he can win anyway.”
What makes you think he can win? Because he has a campaign staff that can put out lots of TV ads? Ultimately it will be Perry on the ballot and not his campaign staff. Nobody would even be talking about Cain if Perry blew Romney to pieces. It shouldn’t be so hard...

Rick Perry has already won 4 elections as Governor of one of the largest states. Ronald Reagan won 2 times in California; Perry takes every Republican leaning state and competes well for the tossups; Obama would win reelection with a healthy economy but that is not happening now and is very unlikely by next Autumn; Obama's street cred for taking out Bin Laden, etc. would dwarf the GOP dwarves but not Perry; all in all Perry paired with a good running mate should score a decisive electoral victory, maybe 54 or 55% popular vote even.
No other current candidate looks to get that high except maybe Gingrich (who would win the debates). Perry will have such low expectations going into the debates he will probably be reluctantly scored a winner by not losing.
