If he gets less than 10%, he’s probably toast but remember that Iowans often choose somebody who doesn’t win the nomination. Remember Howard Dean?
What Perry needs is enough support to stay credible and then to outlast enough others to become the sensible alternative to Newt, Mitt and Paul, all of whom I consider unfit for the office.
LOL! How has Perry “gained Traction”?
Throwing gravel under the wheels of his campaign bus is only thing that will give the tour bus “traction”.
Perry’s poll numbers are still just as stagnant as ever. In fact he has gone down, down, down. And now stuck at 6.6% and his progress or decline is measured in “tenths” of a percent.
I think Perry will end up in the top 4 in IA and after IA Santorum and Bachmann will drop out.
Many quietly wait...Merry Christmas Shield!
BURLINGTON, IA. — Rick Perry paused the routine stump speech he’s developed during his 44-stop bus tour of the state in Burlington on Thursday to honor a deceased Iowan and Navy SEAL.
During a string of slams on the federal government that have become common for Perry, the Texas governor praised the military. Then Perry paused, pulling up one of his sleeves to reveal a bracelet that reads: KIA 8-6-11 Remember J.T.
Perry, who had not mentioned the bracelet during his speech before, seemed to struggle for his words:
“I wear a — I wear a little band, matter of fact one of your Iowans, who was killed on the sixth day of August this last year, who was one of those Navy SEALS that went down in a helicopter, Jon Tumilson, to remind me about my duty to make sure those young men and women have the support they need as they serve on active duty.”
Tumilson, a Rockford native, was one of 30 Americans killed last summer under attack from enemy forces in Afghanistan. His death became well-known after moving images of his dog lying on the floor near Tumilson’s coffin went viral.
Perry met with Tumilson’s parents when they rode on his bus for a stretch last Sunday in Charles City, a moment that was not publicized. That’s when he received the bracelet, Perry’s campaign said.

The 60-second spot, entitled “President of Honor,” will appear on broadcast and cable stations throughout the Christmas holiday, campaign aides said this morning.
I like Rick Perry and I like what Bob Wise said about Perry:
“He’s human, puts his pants on one leg at a time,” Wise said. “He’s not Washington, he’s Texas. And he talks the truth, he talks it straight. So if the American people will wake up and listen to that, rather than all the promises that we’ve been getting politically and not had fulfilled, then why not?”
