Perrys’ jobs record is unasailable(sp?) and his tax reform proposal is pretty good. Neither of these things are what led to his trailing off (rather badly) in the polls.

He’s so far down right now I cannot see why Romney would attack him. Romney should spend his time attacking Cain who is quite frankly catching fire in this race.

I can see WHY Myth is not attacking Cain though, Perry went on the offensive and look where he is now.

Pawlenty went on the offensive and look where he is now.

This is not the type of race that the voters want to see. The voters want to see ideas calmly and rationally discussed as if these men were adults. This is why I really like Cains’ “Rock ‘em Sock ‘em robots ad.

Nobody is attacking Cain because the conventional wisdom is that he will self-destruct before too long. Why waste ammo>

I’d put the odds about 4:1 that the CW is right. Not that I necessarily think this is a good thing, it’s just what I think will happen.

This is also why Perry and Romney need to accept the invitation to a Tea Party-hosted debate in Texas that's one-on-one and moderator-free. Cain and Gingrich are going to do it a week from tomorrow, and Perry and Romney still won't commit to one. Each candidate has a total of an hour and 15 minutes to discuss their plans. There's no moderators out to sic them on each other and no reason for them to lay into one another. It's a chance for them to contrast themselves with the other candidates.
