If Perry finds himself in dire straights, he has nobody but his self to blame
He’s the one who turned in poor debate performances and spooked the GOP base with immigration issues, not Herman Cain
He walked into it a frontrunner, and he certainly “destroyed” Michele Bachmann’s hard earned momentum- and for what? He’s now in single digits in the polls.
With his jobs record, all he had to do was not screw up... but he did, BIG time
N-i-c-e take.........deserves a repeat.
Perry did not even officially enter the Iowa caucus----he cunningly manipulated the vote from Texas---that was supposed to take him over the top. Instead he got 700-800 pitiful write-ins, while Michele and the other winners got 4000 votes. He stomped all over Michele's hard fought win, announcing his candidacy on the day she won.
The Perry-pimponistas were cued to say "Rick won"---and there he was waving and smiling in front of Iowa banners---like he was the winner.
Ricky promised Texans he would not run for president if they reelected him Governor----AT THE SAME TIME he raised $55 million for a WH race. This calculating conman entered the 2012 race with three PACs (that we know of) teeming with millions.
While America has elected incoherent Texas governors in the past, Perry is probably the worst candidate ever to enter a presidential race. His precipitous downfall, engineered by his own stupidity, is one for the political history books.
He took a giant step toward righting the ship Sat. night in Iowa. http://theiowarepublican.com/2011/perry-regains-his-footing-at-iffc-event/
He has a record of leftism of which open borders is only a part.
Texans were never, ever, going to let him slide.
His debate performance just speeded up what was going to happen anyway.
