Rick really had me going and believing he would win, until he began having that unfortunately unbroken string of Brain Freezes during the debates. Remember those? I do. The freezes were rationalized away due to his recent back surgery. The presumption was that he was too doped up and tensed with back pain to make a go of it. I respect him for wanting to run, but if you are starting this long grueling campaign as not physically fit, in fact, not sufficiently recovered from surgery, what are you doing here now, embarrassing yourself and your party. Rick may be one of those people who even before the back surgery, is prone to campaign poorly, but will govern very well. Lots of that type in the GOP.
I have to disagree. If Obama had had a brain freeze, it would have been ignored. This was the way to marginalize Rick Perry. The idea that a momentary mental lapse disqualifies you from the presidency is silly. We let the msm and the Eastern GOP establishment have their way. No candidate can be a true conservative. The day we stop letting these people push us around is the day that we are going to get a good candidate.
