The real GOP race is now Perry vs. Romney

Until now, the biggest question looming over the 2012 Republican primary was who would emerge as the leading alternative to the nominal front-runner, Mitt Romney.
We now know the answer to that question: Rick Perry.
Sure, Perry jumped into the race only one day ago and needs to prove he's worthy of the national stage. Yes, Michele Bachmann is the one who boxed Tim Pawlenty out of the race with her triumph in the Iowa Straw Poll on Saturday.
But it is the governor of the great big state of Texas, not the Minnesota congresswoman, who poses the biggest threat to Romney from here on out. That's because Perry boasts that killer combination of assets: the power to grab hold of voters -- which Bachmann shares -- plus a concrete record of creating jobs. It's the rhetoric plus the results, the inspiration layered on top of the perspiration.

Gov. Perry is off to a great start and is taking the campaign trail by storm! This is so exciting! A candidate who can WIN the nomination AND defeat Obama next year!

Hmmmm.... took Rick awhile to test the water.... He waited while Michele did all the heavy lifting. So far... no fire in his belly.

The illegal alien groin leech has won absolutely nothing and no amount of Obama style cheerleading is going to change that.

Why does the media insist on pushing Romney. He doesn't have a shot in hell on beating Obama. If he got the nomination he would then be labeled by the left as the father of the Health Care bill.

No amount of flaming Perry threads is going to stop them.

He’s the Eddie Haskell candidate in this race.
Didn’t have the manhood to get in the race before the debate then tried to leech some attention from Iowa.

I just don’t think he’s going to have much trouble dispatching Romney.

So, on your advice, I can actually sit this one out.
