Via Business Insider. A few choice quotes. Larry Sabato:
To my memory, Perry’s forgetfulness is the most devastating moment of any modern primary debate.
Rich Lowry:
That might be the most uncomfortable moment I’ve ever witnessed in presidential politics.

Update: CNN, live in the spin room: “I’m sure glad I had my boots on because I sure stepped in it out there.”
Update: WaPo’s Aaron Blake tweets: “Top Perry fundraiser to me: ‘Perry campaign is over. Time for him to go home and refocus on being Gov of TX.’”

Paul gave hinm and out when he said , "I ave five," and Perry should have left it at that...but then as he kept trying to remember that moderator caught on to it and nailed him down and he coyuldn't remember.
Later, to his credit, he remembered energy and indicated that was the one...but the damage was done.
And, like others, to that point I felt it was one of his better performances.
I felt Cain really did himself well and the crowd itself was not going to let these moderators try and embarass him or split the candidates with any tak about the "allegations." Actuually, to me, that was equally stunning...they booed the moderators when they asked about it and roared when Cain explained it...again.
LOL! Drudge is one of the MOST read sites on the NET!

You are stuck in the 20th century. Newspapers?
Which is good for him.
PerryKrishnas are difficult to deprogram.
Kartographer,Do you know how many voters that vote read Drudge?
It’s BECAUSE of these debates that caused Perry’s numbers to tank and Cain’s to rise.
Sorry, nope. Perry’s done.
Perry would have been forgiven, if not for his “heartless” comment, after that, he was dead to me.
MILLIONS!!!
Most voters don’t make up their mind until a few weeks before election and most voters do not follow the candidates online.
The only people I know that read a newspaper are over the age of 75.
Drudge generates almost 7% of all web traffic.
Absolutely!
Look Perry just can’t go the full distance in debates. So he goes for a good 5 or 6 innings, tires and then send in his relief debator.
Just send in his wife Anita in the closer role. Use the Clinton line—you get two for one if Perry wins the presidency. Voila...
...and then there were seven......
Might have at least added a comic element.
