He’s really the best candidate. He’s experienced, conservative, talks the talk, but also walked it in 11 years in Texas.

If he really is the best candidate, then why don't his poll numbers reflect that?

Surely he didn't lose support so quickly and drastically because people liked Cain's 9-9-9 plan or they liked Newt slapping debate moderators around, so why did Perry drop so fast and so far?

Two weeks of insulting the same group of people? Could that maybe, possibly, have anything remotely to do with it? ;)

I don’t know the answer to that question.

It definitely wasn’t the 999 plan. Perry has worked with Steve Forbes to develop a flat tax plan that most people seem to prefer to 999.

I think maybe what happened was that when Sarah Palin decided not to run, many of her followers turned to Cain and ....

I don’t know.

He should be at the top of the polls. Maybe he’ll get there.

Maybe people don’t like Texas or don’t want another Texan.

Who the heck knows.

It could be because there has been a concerted effort to smear him and misrepresent him.
