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.
One thing we don’t want to do is to put a rich, country club, big corp. guy like Romney up as the face of the Republican Party in today’s political climate.
This is not the image we want to put up as our voice. Yes, he’s a good debater but he’s never had to work for anything in his whole life and has been on every side of every issue.
We must make sure Romney is not our voice to go agaist Obama.
