Perry cannot debate Obama. He really can’t even debate Mitt.

For a few moments, Perry had Romney red-faced, sputtering and spewing incoherently for a bit at the last debate. So did Santorum. Those exchanges revealed a Romney weakness -- he cannot handle direct verbal assaults very well.

Then why is Perry now chickening out...he cannot have it both ways.

Frank Luntz was on Hannity the next day talking about the focus group reaction to that very incident between Perry and Romney.

Luntz said the focus group absolutely HATED it, they thought Perry looked obnoxious and petty. It turned them off of Rick BIG-TIME.

Yes, I was pleased at how Perry had prepared to get back at Romney on Immigration. He was waiting for his chance and he did a good job. Can he do such a thing off the cuff? Not sure.

I think mitt’s weakness was that he didn’t think anyone would “dare” hit him on something so personal. He was flustered and ticked! It was very funny to see.
