I dig cynicism but you’re way over the top.
Newt will not cede to Mitt, nor will Perry.
That’s ridiculous. Mitt will have to win on his own and conservatives don’t like Mitt. He does have the party backing mostly because he wouldn’t change things and they don’t like change. It scares them.
But the party is not the people. Cheer up.
I think you are right. Once the debates are over (and Perry is starting to do well even in that forum) Perry will be talking to the people. He does great in what they call retail politics.
He does well in interviews and speeches and the more people know him the better they like him. He does have the likeability factor that is so important.
And, per my vow, not trashing Newt but is anybody getting tired of that voice? It’s starting to grate on me.
Still haven’t watched the Newt interview, curious to see how that goes.
Plus, Perry can run on his record. He’s been in the public eye in Texas for well over 11 years and withstood constant attacks from the liberal press. They’ve dug into his closet for years trying to find something and all they can find are old boots.
In eleven years he’s done great things. He’s done maybe 4 things that conservatives didn’t like ... not bad in 11 years and even those are not that bad.
He can counter Obama’s record with his record in any argument. He’s taking it to Obama more strongly than any candidate and also taking it to the Washington establishment.

No cynicism, just the facts, altura.
People want to believe in Democracy and that there is a democratic process that will result in the outcome of such a thing as the “making of the Republican nominee.”
But Romney will be the nominee and not really ever get more than 30 percent of the contested vote.
It’s just a scam. I vote in May. It’ll be long over by then. And by then your guy Perry will have kissed Mitt’s ring or else consigned himself to Oblivion.
When you think about the “Republican primary season,” imagine a smoke-filled room. Honestly.
