I would take Gingrich in a second before Perry. I’d take Romney before Perry.
One would expect that Palin’s supporters would go to Cain, Bachmann and Paul. Right now, because Cain is doing well, I would expect many of Palin’s supporters to support Cain, and then see how he does. When he starts answering questions again with “I’ll think about that and then answer” or whatever it was he said after every non softball question in the 2nd debate, he’ll lose those people, and those people will look at the other candidates.
Honestly, if you find Romney more conservative than Perry, what do you find conservative?
(I’m not being sarcastic, either. I can’t see anyone finding Romney conservative at all, so I’m genuinely wondering what you find to be conservative?)
