"The change we seek will never emanate out of Washington. It will come from the windswept prairies of middle America; the farms and factories across this great land; the hearts and minds of God-fearing Americans -- who will not accept a future that is less than our past, who will not be consigned a fate of LESS freedom in exchange for MORE government. We do not have to accept our current circumstances. We will change them. We're Americans. That's what we do. WE roll up our sleeves, WE get to work, WE make things better."
Excerpt from Perry Presidential announcement speech-Source
"I was quite sure that he wasn't going to run, because he was adamant until about four months ago that he wasn't going to run. I was surprised that he had changed his position on that, but I'm glad that he's going to be in there. I'm thankful that he's going to jump in this arena. It's rough and tumble and tough,...That adds to the debate. It adds another choice for Americans to consider headin' into 2012."
Sarah Palin today at Iowa State Fair -

This is exactly what I thought after watching that debate. Perry won, because everyone already in the race looked SO BAD.

Rick Perry is the Ronald Reagan of 2012.

Rick Perry is the Ronald Reagan of 2012. Last week some pundit said Ubama was.
The standard gets lower and lower.

I watched that whole thing last night. I came away thinking what a waste of time it had been. Perry did win, so did Palin. Just by not showing up.

Would help his case if you bothered to get his facts correct.
Lincoln would have NO idea what a beanbag was. He never said any such thing.

Yep, the worse the current candidates look, the better those that are not in the race start to look.
Even as recent as last night I didn't think Palin was running, but today... I think she just might be... in which case like you said she and Perry were the big winners.
To: Signalman
I’m interesting in Perry. This is what I see the left saying so far:
1) He had bad grades.
2) His job creation is all low-wage jobs.
3) Conservatives in Texas have bad things to say about him.

Let us try this again.

I’m not going to get caught up in this ‘Perry Fever’ yet.
If recent history teaches us anything it is two things.
1. Listen and study a candidate a great deal before endorsing it. (OBAMA)
2. Don’t pay heed to this ‘Heir Apparent’ nonsense. (Hillary)
My two cents on the debate...Ron Paul looked like the kook he is; spouted nonsense. He’s toast.
To: smoothsailing
I thought Michele looked OK. The rest, not so much.

Ron Paul doesn’t even need to show up at debates. They could just put together a montage of his past debate showings and play them every time a question is directed to him.

Childish, ignorant and superficial are the nicest things that can be said about this article

If that truly is part of his speech tomorrow, it’s excellent! This is so exciting! This is the candidate we’ve been waiting for!

To: ImJustAnotherOkie
Im not going to get caught up in this Perry Fever yet. That's the best approach, IMO.
Perry could well fall flat on his face in a week. Personally, I don't expect that to happen, but you never know. Remember Fred Thompson? He's doing reverse mortgage ads on TV these days.
To: MNJohnnie
I was not impressed by the Rep’s. If I had to vote for any last night, it would have been Newt. I am looking forward to Palin or Perry to see the contrast.

“Bad grades” don’t bother me one whit, considering the trashing of America by all the Ivy League types that weasel their way into national politics. Palin/Perry or Perry/Rubio for the GOP national ticket.

Change you will get if they became President.
Gingrich, Cain, Santorum - War with Iran
Bachmann - default on debt
Romney & Huntsman - Elect me an find out
Paul - Pull out of wars & audit Federal Reserve
Pawlenty - Just a governor
No Shows - Palin and Perry
Fox news interviewers were pathetic.
