Then you would be half right and half wrong. From earlier today:
Why Does Rick Perry Think He Can Win South Carolina?

Heres the deal. mitt romney has played so down and so dirty throughout this entire process that his campaign has literally destroyed its opponents into oblivion. Rick Perry stepped out on the wrong foot, but his ideas are fantastic and should not be ignored. No one else could withstand the withering lies and underhanded rumors and insinuations fed to the media by romneys opposition research, so what have we left?
We have Gingrich who I think is going to go out as a weapon aimed squarely at taking romney out knowing it will take himself out as well. (And if it DOESNT take him out, (Gingrich,) then HE is the man.)
Perry still has a warchest and can afford to try again. Santorum is a very principled man and will also stand for us AS A CONSERVATIVE.
So from my point of view, let them have their shot. Trashing any of them only helps romney.
If Rick Perry cant break out in SC, he will fold. That is just the way it is. But I aint going to trash him regardless. I would hope that someone else picks up on some of his better ideas and builds on them if he cant do it himself.
IF he stays low as he is right now in the polls without making a good showing in SC and keeps going anyway, THEN I might be tempted to see him as a spoiler. But right now, it is ron paul and mitt romney who scare the bejeezus out of me and anyone who can take either one or both of them out gets my vote because beating romney is beating obama. Period.
What was I wrong about? Why the attack on mitchell001?
