.....Supporter Bill Thomas, 63, of Indianola was impressed, saying Perry had overcome his debate foibles. "Yeah, he's getting better," Thomas said. "It's not so much what they say; it's what they've done."
An undecided voter, Cole Converse, 21, was impressed that Perry had secured the endorsement of Arpaio, the tough-talking sheriff from Arizona brought on to buttress Perry's position on illegal immigration. "That was big," Converse said."...
No.
BTW, anybody notice that Romney seems to be losing his hair?
IF I ONLY HAD A HEART
I'm still fighting the "antiRomney", "anything but Romney", "I won't vote for POTUS if Romney is the selection via misguided political directive", "when hell freezes over I'll consider Romney" sensibility....Alas, you get my drift.
I wouldn't hesitate to pull the lever for Governor Perry however if he were to the the nominee.
I think Perry is a good man, unfortunately he shot his own foot a few times but now that he seems more relaxed he’s moving beyond that. Only a tiny fraction of the voting public even knows about his “brain freeze” and he’s got the money to stay in and fight. We could do far worse.
What is the deal?
I keep seeing responses to your threads/posts by people who reference the “heart” comment.
I swear, I have never seen a group of people who appear to be so juvenile!
There are so many selectively thin-skinned people on FR that I wonder where we are going with this site.
Seriously. One comment, for which he’s apologized...and which his record completely nullifies...and that’s the deal breaker for them.
Puhleeze!
Just keep it up, girl! You’re a Texas woman with a Texas-sized heart.

This is just how Rick Perry is. After Hurricane Ike devastated my community, he came here to survey the damage. He did not just walk through here surrounded by security and news cameras and then make a speech. That's not Perry. He showed up in jeans and a work shirt, no cameras, no press conference, and he walked among all of us who had been hit. A hug, a pat on the shoulder, a listening ear, and an encouraging word. He saw to it that emergency shelters were being set up and food and water were available to everyone. When Obama/FEMA refused to help us, Governor Perry set up state funding to help us rebuild our homes and our lives. My home is at 'ground zero' where Ike came ashore. We all took tremendous damage. FEMA sent me a check two months later for $600 dollars. Governor Perry set up the Recovery Fund to help us all rebuild. That is what a true leader and a true Christian does. That's my Governor! I can't wait to see America under the caring wing of Rick Perry.
GO PERRY!
Mrs Cincinatus - We all (or at least I do) respect your passion for your candidate, but this seems highly unlikely, especially given the media’s last-minute fixation on Rick Santorum. The GOP race is a muddled mess - and calculated to be - in order to hand it to Mittens, unfortunately.
I love Perry. I love Newt, Santorum, and Michele’s conservatism. Each and every one of those four are running their hearts out for OUR nomination.
They’re all 90% type ACU rated conservatives.
But...
Here’s the deal. If Perry, Santorum, and Newt finish in the top five on Tuesday, and all stay in through Florida splitting the conservative vote three ways...
Willlard the liberal is our nominee, folks. Yikes! : (
Myself, I see only one obvious, actual “choice” among the R candidates.
If I absolutely had to guess at one lesser of evils among the remainder of the R herd, I would have to admit to RP (Perry) as a possibility...maybe.
Semper Watching!

You know I support all tea party candidates.What do you think of Santorum?
I wish that Perry would make a comeback - but he won’t. He went in without an organization, without a plan and he was woefully unprepared. It’s our loss. But his fault.
