But, can conservatives coalesce around Perry in the early stages to prevent Christie from walking into the nomination just as Romney did?

I hope so. Governor Perry is fantastic, Texas is the best economy in U.S., he tells people where to put it if that's what's needed, and he's everything I love, pro 2nd amendment, anti-amnesty, pro-business and the list goes on.

I know the gaffes took front seat last time but the rest of his debates were stellar. He never used the pain killers he was on due to his recent surgery as an excuse but there's no getting around their influence. Anyway, hope he gets a second chance.

Unless Ben Carson runs in which case I'll drop Perry like a hot potato. :-)

Palin, Cruz, Perry or maybe Jindal.

Perry is too liberal and not very intelligent to me. We have first strivers to chose from. We don’t need a bench sitter.

Experience says that conservatives couldn't coalesce around a light bulb if they were moths on a cool night.
