Yes you’re right, they do feel a little perturbed at Perry’s fall in the polls, and I’d feel that way too if it was my candidate.
Frankly, I like Perry, I feel his attitude about immigrants, (illegal or otherwise), comes from his deeply rooted Christianity, and while it doesn’t play well with conservatives to spend taxpayer dollars on someone who’s gaming the system, I understand his “spirit of generosity”.
That being said, tax dollars are collected at the point of a gun, when you get to the nub of it, and spending those dollars on things that aren’t necessary is a big fly in my ointment.
If Cain were to collapse, Perry would be my second choice. I know Newt, and he’s brilliant but flighty, not the guy I’d want as president...VP maybe.
I just don’t see a Cain collapse. I figured Perry would because he was pushed on us by the media without any real grass roots support. He proved himself in the debates and I think he is done. The difference with Cain and the others is the positive intensity of those supporting him. Cain won’t decline among those of us who support him...and he is picking up more and more people with each passing day. Unless he has a major blunder, he won’t fade.

And I feel just as you do on Newt.
