I don’t know that Perry would be the better candidate, but I do know that he would be the better president.
I wish he had a silver tongue, but he does not.
That is about all anyone can really fault Perry for.
Perry can’t debate like Newt, but Newt can’t campaign like Perry ! He’s dynamite !
Take a look at this video of Perry in action at the Sean Hannity Freedom Concert in Dallas in August, 2010.
