I think you’re right.
I see this even on Free Republic.
For some reason people are afraid of Rick Perry.
He’s attractive, likeable, ultra conservative, has leadership experience as an excellent governor but a small cadre of people on Free Republic are absolutely terrified of him and I think the media feels that way too.
Fox News can go for days and never mention his name.
Well, it will be the country’s loss if we turn our backs on Perry and I can only hope that Santorum is a better man and a stronger conservative and less wimpy than he seems and that he gives up the Mr. Rogers look and wears suits proper for the occasions.
And I hope that Newt is able to focus and concentrate and use his much touted brain to zone in on the real problems facing this country and not worry about lighting the streets from Mars.
I think people’s problem with Perry is they believe he WILL do what he says he will.
No one is afraid of Perry! No one even cares.
He polls between 0-5% in NH and SC.
If enough people admit to liking Perry, I think he has a real shot. The media has made people feel like they’d be stupid to even consider Perry and I’m not sure if all that chatter, news, and commentary can be turned around.
