Maybe so, maybe so!

(But...maybe not.....)

It’d be good for the GOP race if Perry did exceptionally well in the next debate.

It was “heartless”.

The conservative viewers know it when they see or hear it. They know Perry isn’t really one of them. It’s become instinctual and easy to spot.

No conservative would have used that word to denote someone who disagrees with giving benefits to illegals.

There is a whole lot of fear of Rick Perry.

The GOP establishment fears Perry. The mainstream media fears Perry. Obama fears Perry. And the nativists really fear Perry.

The Perry feeding frenzy is in full swing. Never seen any conservative get this hammered so quickly and so intensely.

Here is why Perry is in trouble.

Instead of recognizing his campaign is in trouble and re-tooling, he and his supporters are running blaming everyone else for "piling on"

If Perry cannot stand the heat of a primary better then this, he is going to fold like a cheap suit in the much worse heat of a National Election

Of course fundraising is going to be good, he has spent years doling out cash for favored business, like his own little “stimulus”. These businesses and their officials will scratch his back just like those getting largesse from Obama are big donors to his campaign.

The only person that can help or hurt Rick Perry is Rick Perry. He has a debate next week. He can come out and give the performance of his life and things said in past debates and answers he stumbled through will be quickly forgotten by most. We have a very short memory when it comes to debates. Even Reagan had a stinker or two. And he needs to take a lesson from Newt and Cain and instead of trading jabs with Romney, he needs to start going after Obama.

I do think the next debate will be the tipping point for Perry. If he comes out sounding unprepared again, I think its all over. It's up to him.

Yes, he has been pummeled, and I am not thrilled to see our entire field piling up on Perry while Romney goes mostly untouched. That said, I am more concerned about Perry’s inability to handle the pummeling than the positions he holds.

We need to send someone into battle who can carry the conservative movement on their back and fight the media and the left. I want to see Perry be able to do it, but he has not proven to be able to so far.

The thing I can tell you first hand is that while visiting Texas, all of the people I spoke to said they would not vote for him.

He is known in Texas as a RINO opportunist. In fact he was a Democrat all his life until recently. And, he actually supported Al Gore. Furthermore, the word is he loves illegals. I don’t know who he did that tuition thing for, but it was not for the people of Texas. They hate it.

But, more than that, they tell me in Texas that his reputation is one of corruption and cronyism. Specifically, I was told, “If you do him a favor, he remembers his friends.” This was said in a more or less negative way.

I had no real opinion of him one way or the other. But after hearing what the people in Texas say about him, he is off my list. If they don’t want him, then neither do I. JMHO
